Study Model of A Conversation Piece by Kiki & Joost, June 2025. Courtesy of the Artists & Spazio Nobile
For this exhibition, Kiki and Joost have worked together for the first time to create a cohesive piece: a four-panel room divider composed of hammered copper, cotton lace, vertical cotton roping, and a mirrored surface. This is an object that, while traditionally associated with separation, here becomes a marker of shared authorship and spatial intimacy. There’s a subtle irony in the choice: perhaps only two designers so precisely in tune could choose to materialise their dialogue through an object meant to divide. Yet rather than creating distance, the piece proposes a threshold – inviting reflection, not only in the literal sense of the mirror, but in the way it embodies a synthesis of form languages, techniques, and material affinities. In this single gesture, the structural and the poetic, the precise and the intuitive, merge _ Maria Cristina Didero, Independent Design Curator and Author
