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.

An installation by Imogen Kwok featuring KØGE, and MARLOT BAUS curated by Noura Residency. Craftsmanship, design, and cuisine are brought together not as separate disciplines, but as a singular living exhibition. In this collaboration, the boundaries between the permanent and the ephemeral are blurred. Here, the table sits in that suspended pause after making and before eating. It is a scene of organic materials that have been handled, and are waiting to be undone: Fat, powder, fruit, sugar. Cone, oval, sphere, leaf. This installation investigates the exact point at which we begin giving meaning to objects and the materials that make them.
