As one of the leading curatorial platforms for contemporary collectible design, ADORNO presents cross-cultural collections by independent designers. Focused on craftsmanship, authenticity, and material exploration, Adorno offers global access to one-of-a-kind works that reflect identity, narrative, and place. Through curated exhibitions and direct-to-collector sales, the platform fosters deeper engagement with design as a cultural practice.

Rooted in themes of authenticity and the power of self–expression, Persona invites visitors on a journey through three interconnected rooms —The Perfectionist, The Eccentric, and The Romantic — each embodying a distinct facet of human identity. Through spatial storytelling, multi–sensory elements, and material expression, the exhibition delves into how design can mirror the emotional and psychological complexity of the self. More than an exhibition, Persona is an experimental mise en scène unfolding across an entire exhibition. With this show Adorno aims to reflect the ever–shifting, multifaceted nature of selfhood, brought to life through the lens of collectible design.
