Formafantasma Designs Ocean & Climate Village Exhibition for Prada Group and IOC in Cagliari

Formafantasma, the Italian design studio, created the displays for Ocean & Climate Village, an exhibition staged at Prada Group's Luna Rossa base in Cagliari, Sardinia. The studio framed its approach around design serving as an educational tool, deployed to communicate the importance of the ocean. UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) developed the show, which Prada Group characterizes as a travelling science exhibition. Prada Group backs the project through Sea Beyond, its educational initiative. The presentation combines exhibition design with scientific content on ocean and climate themes, with Formafantasma's displays including a coral reef element among the installed pieces. The show's location at the Luna Rossa sailing base in Cagliari ties the display to Prada's sailing activities in Sardinia. The exhibition is itinerant by design, described by the fashion conglomerate as travelling rather than fixed to a single venue. Formafantasma's contribution covers the exhibition displays, translating IOC scientific material into a physical, educational environment. The project brings together a luxury fashion group, a United Nations ocean science body and a design studio, with Sea Beyond acting as the corporate educational framework through which Prada Group supports the IOC-developed content.
