As so often in recent years, some of the weightiest research-based ideas presented at the Milan Fuorisalone come from Holland. This is true of Harvest, the new project by the Dutch Invertuals collective, exhibited in the spaces of the Galleria O’, in the new Isola district.

A project initiated and curated by Wendy Plomp, Dutch Invertuals is steadily enlarging the scope of their research, pushing into ever different fields. Over the past eight years it has produced 15 exhibitions with designers with different backgrounds and training, projecting its own outlook into the avant-garde of experimental design. The project for the Fuorisalone, in particular, involves ten designers–Bram Vanderbeke, Carlo Lorenzetti, Edhv, Hongjie Yang, Kirstie van Noort & Xandra van der Eijk, Léa Baert, Mila Chorbadzhieva, Philipp Weber, Sigve Knutson, Thomas Ballouhe–in rethinking global sustainability.
Harvest concentrates on analysing possible scenarios for as many landscapes in a not too distant future. Efficiency and self-sufficiency are adopted as the new paradigms for a rising post-consumerist season, with new forms of collection and recycling. The works by Dutch Invertuals prompt a complete rethinking of the cycle of resources: production, storage and distribution. They anticipate a radical change that will change the economic models underpinning our society.
