Marco Zelli is an architect and designer based in Zurich, Switzerland. His work explores the dialectic between the permanent and the transitory, using different registers, from the ironic to the operational, and approaching different scales of the project, from architecture to design. He has worked in some of the most prestigious offices in Portugal, Japan and Switzerland, and founded his own practice in 2020. His work has been exhibited at major international fairs such as ALCOVA Miami (2024), EDIT Naples (2024) and Fuorisalone (Assabone, 2022) and is currently represented by Oxilia Gallery (Milan) and Spazio Giallo (Rome). In addition to his practice, he currently teaches architecture design and construction at the ETH.

The exhibition will feature a series of modular pieces that engage with users and their ability to compose a given form into new and unexpected dispositions, changing over time according to their needs and mode. The systems on display go beyond the traditional approach to modularity, where the joint becomes the core of the design, to emphasise sculptural and aesthetic values over technological expression, generosity over determinacy, ambiguity over banality.

Audo Copenhagen brings together a century of Danish design values with a global outlook. At the heart of every Audo piece is an understanding of how people live, gather and connect—resulting in furniture, lighting and objects shaped by quality, purpose and an ethos of soft minimalism. Rooted in Copenhagen but reaching far beyond it, Audo designs environments that invite comfort, creativity and, most importantly, connection. Working in close collaboration with leading designers—and in constant dialogue between heritage and contemporary—Audo delivers a residential take that is deliberate and deeply liveable.This is where we meet: through thoughtful design, in real spaces, and in the feelings that endure long afterwards.

With experience and passion in working with solid wood, ZEITRAUM stands for a modern, reduced design language and sustainable approach. Founded in 1990, it was the first German furniture manufacturer to focus on combining ecology and design. Sustainability is not a trend but a fundamental corporate philosophy. Solid hardwoods from renewable sources are processed into furniture of lasting value by combining knowledge of materials with contemporary design. No chemical treatment of the wood is used. Due to solid wood's high reparability and their products' modular construction, the repair is easy and possible at any time. In cooperation with selected designers, ZEITRAUM develops high–quality furniture for living areas and contract sectors.
