Desire + memorabilia are the two key words that curators of In Residence, Barbara Brondi and Marco Rainò, proposed to the invited designers, leaving them then free to interpret them visually.

The result is a collection of 25 objects of desire, fantasies given virtual form, strategic visions that explore design and process. The making of all the objects – from lamps by Pepe Heykoop to the numeric colander by Jean-Baptiste Fastrez and miniature cities by Formafantasma – have been made with 3D printers, as such eliminating any kind of artisan and individual affection in order that the designers concentrated only on the idea (the desire) and not the material.
The result is a "Wünschenkammer", or chamber of desires, where the "immaterial consistency of dreams" emerges.
