Colour Matters. The Alchemy of Design

June 26, 2027 – October 31, 2027

Explore how color shapes design and meaning in this thoughtful exhibition curated by Elisabetta Pisu of Rome's IMF Foundation. Through nearly 40 contemporary functional objects from around the world, Colour Matters investigates color's strategic role in creating perceived value and new significance. Organized into four thematic sections—Origin, Light, Sign, and Gesture—the show reveals how designers harness color as a powerful tool for innovation, research, and human connection.
