Dos Mil Quatre-Cents Setanta Grams: Design Constrained by Weight at Milan Design Week 2026
Milan Design Week 2026 showcased an exhibition titled 'Dos Mil Quatre-Cents Setanta Grams,' featuring 12 cutting-edge furniture and lighting designs by 18 Catalan creators, each with a precise weight of 2,470 grams. Curated by Eva Castany and her team, the event enjoyed support from architect Paolo Sarra, the CAP.A platform, Labóh agency, and ADI-FAD. This weight was intended to reflect typical IKEA product specifications. The exhibition emphasized the significance of weight on design, impacting shipping, cost, and user interaction.
