Tribute Miralles – DHUB Perpetuum Mobile

Perpertuum Mobile is the first exhibition on the creative work of Enric Miralles as a designer of furniture and objects. The exhibition presented here, along with those seen in other spaces in the city during the year 2021, have sought to show the legacy of Enric Miralles in the field of architecture, but also in design and artistic creation, as well as his imprint on current generations.

The exhibition presented at the Disseny Hub shows almost twenty pieces of furniture designed over fifteen years by Enric Miralles, some of them specially designed for his house, in collaboration with Benedetta Tagliabue. A piece of furniture is an object that can move, that is to say, that can be moved. But Enric’s furniture can not only be moved, but also has its own movement, always with the complicity of the user, who, as if they were puppets, moves them, changing their shape, extending or retracting them, raising and lowering them. The shelves and lamps that can run along walls and floors like insects, and the tables, like rooms, allow them to be inhabited. Bringing them all together for the first time and making them coexist on a single surface is the intimate desire of this exhibition.
