Proof of Concept

Proof of Concept is a dynamic exhibition platform exploring the intricate and captivating processes behind design. Showcasing work from a collective of multidisciplinary studios, it highlights self–initiated projects, products that never reached the market, and designs already in circulation. By shedding light on the extensive development process, the exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the evolution of a product—revealing the ideas, challenges, and creativity that shape its journey.

Proof of Concept — Connect is an exhibition that explores how materials, processes, construction and craftsmanship shape our relationship with everyday objects. Designers are invited to consider the role of tactile experiences, traditional techniques, and innovation in forging deeper connections between makers, users, and the spaces we inhabit. Through this exploration, the exhibition celebrates the tangible bonds that bring design to life.

A unique way of doing things. Every laCividina sofa and armchair tells a story of manufacturing tradition and Italian quality, through the boundless language of contemporary design. From project development to the finished product, all laCividina collections are created entirely at the Martignacco plant, an environment that promotes the experience and skills of each individual. Step by step, laCividina has evolved from a small workshop into a cutting edge organisation, while retaining the added value of craftsmanship that defines all the production stages. This balance enables laCividina to stand out for its ability to also craft custom made products, whilst respecting the characteristics and personality of the original design project.
