ALIEN Couch
by Walter Van Beirendonck x Artisans-X

Opening 9 maggio, 7PM

Spazio Punch presenta “ALIEN Couch”, mostra dedicata al progetto ALIEN, nato dalla collaborazione tra Walter van Beirendonck e Artisans-X. Le tre sedute, diretta manifestazione del desiderio di esplorare nuovi orizzonti creativi da parte del designer belga, provengono direttamente dalla collezione A/W 2025-2026. Introducono la mostra le parole M-C Hill registrate da Show Studio. Approdano a Venezia all’interno del set-up del duo Zaven, che rinnova la collaborazione con Spazio Punch. “ALIEN Couch” è una risposta al clima di tensione globale, un anelito verso un mondo futuribile altro attraverso l’oggetto – mai neutro – di design.

Spazio Punch presents “ALIEN Couch”, an exhibition dedicated to the ALIEN project, a collaboration between Walter van Beirendonck and Artisans-X. The three seating pieces, a direct expression of the Belgian fashion designer’s drive to explore new creative horizons, come straight from the A/W 2025–2026 collection. Likewise, the words of fashion critic M-C Hill-recorded by Show Studio for the exhibition’s introductory video-also originate from that very show. The three ALIENs have now reached Venice, showcased in a setting conceived by Zaven. “ALIEN Couch” is a response to today’s climate of global tension – a longing for an alternative future, articulated through a design object that is never neutral, and certainly not in the case of this one.
