Moiré Gallery Milano Presents “Luminosa” During Fuorisalone 2025
During Fuorisalone 2025, Moiré Gallery Milano unveils Luminosa — a poetic and immersive group exhibition dedicated to one of the most essential, yet intangible elements: light. Set in the elegant space of Via Borgospesso 18, the gallery and concept store brings together design, painting, photography, fashion, and jewellery in a refined, multidimensional exploration of light as emotion, material, and memory.
A Tribute to Light in All Its Forms
In this collective setup, light is not merely functional — it is ancestral. It warms, reveals, protects, inspires. It stands against darkness, both literal and symbolic. Through a curated dialogue between contemporary artists and timeless objects, Luminosa invites visitors into a space where light is interpreted, not only seen.
The exhibition opens with a nostalgic glow. Candles and candle holders by Danish brand Lind DNA and Italian glassmakers Vetrofuso evoke homes of another era. Vetrofuso’s sculptural works — such as the surrealist Eyes Mirror and the shimmering Turtle Shell totems — transform Murano glass into luminous matter, where reflections become a conversation between body and space.
Light evolves into the present with Cypriot designer Ntaiana Charalampous’s Overlight, a modular system of steel and precision that embraces changeability. Each unit is both structure and statement — a study in how geometry can guide light. Similarly, Israeli designer Hagit Pincovici offers a sculptural vision where marble, brass, and glass converge in a quiet tribute to modernist abstraction.
Vintage pieces offer a temporal counterpoint. Brass and opaline lamps by Tommaso Barbi, Stilnovo, and Jeannot Cerutti bridge the decades with timeless form. The Moroccan lanterns, hand-forged by artisans behind Marrakech’s iconic La Mamounia hotel, echo the enduring magic of craftsmanship and ritual.
Painter Tita turns light into language. Known for her abstract style, she embraces figuration in her new series Light — large canvases capturing the glow of streetlamps in acrylic, each one a symbol of resilience against the night. Throughout Design Week, Tita will perform live, gifting visitors hand-painted miniatures — a spontaneous gesture in celebration of shared experience.
Photographer Veronica Gaido brings a painterly sensibility to the camera lens. Her series Aphrodites and Vortex reveal male and female bodies sculpted not by post-production, but by the soft flame of over three hundred candles. The technique — long exposure, no digital manipulation — results in portraits that are raw, intimate, and filled with motion, where imperfection becomes essence. Her other photographic works continue to meditate on light’s power to shape what we see and feel.
The exhibition also flows into fashion, with shimmering silhouettes by Antonino Valenti. His pieces, crafted in Venice, radiate with lurex threads and feminine strength — garments that glimmer not just with style, but with purpose. Completing the luminous journey is a selection of bold, gem-studded jewellery by Michela Bruni Reichlin. Her designs merge Eastern delicacy with Western elegance, always crafted by hand, always Made in Italy.
For curator and founder Ouafa Lotfi Tahoun, Luminosa is more than a title. “It is a wish, a hope,” she says. “A light in a dark historical moment, lit not just in space, but in the heart, soul and mind. A luminous reminder that, despite it all, there is always a way forward — and always a reason to believe.”
