Haruka Misawa's First Italian Solo Show at ADI Design Museum

The ADI Design Museum in Milan presents 'bit by bit', the first solo exhibition in Italy dedicated to Japanese designer Haruka Misawa, curated by Nippon Design Center and Misawa Design Institute, running until June 7, 2026. The exhibition features works made almost exclusively from sheets of paper, manipulated through folds and twists to create volumes sensitive to touch, kaleidoscopic geometries, and mysterious movements generated by magnetic attraction. Misawa's practice is guided by the behavior of materials, poetically reworking the lesson of Josef Albers at the Bauhaus in Dessau: 'The material must be worked so that no waste results: economy is the most important principle. The final form arises from the very tensions of the cut and twisted material.'
