This Milan Design Week, Madrid-based platform Mayrit drops into the city with a double act that feels more like a mirage than a conventional exhibition. Raw, fluid, and unapologetically hybrid, Mayrit’s presence unfolds across two spaces—both bending the rules of what a design event should be.

Espacio 1 — A Drifting Loop

Dreamt up by the minds of Cinema Parentesi, Cecilia Casabona, and Ortica Studio, A Drifting Loop is less an installation, more a trance-like state. Think shadowy corridors, looping narratives, and a sense of déjà vu you can’t quite shake. Textures, structures, and stories intertwine as visitors are pulled into a space where time folds in on itself. It’s design as drift—ambient, atmospheric, and quietly subversive.

Espacio 2 — Mayrit Party

Forget stiff openings and polite applause. The Mayrit Party is a scenographic fever dream crafted by Cinema Parentesi inside Ortica Studio, turning the idea of a ‘design celebration’ into something more visceral. It’s a meeting point, a soundscape, a soft rebellion where people move, talk, dance, and dissolve into the environment. Less event, more vibe.

With these two spaces, Mayrit cracks open the format of Milan Design Week, offering a glitch in the matrix—somewhere between installation and intervention, fiction and function, rave and reflection.
