The theme of this first edition in Ostuni, Puglia, is "singularity of space": The idea that spaces must be neutral and hybrid to be used in different ways seems to be an outdated concept today. The hospitality and hidden beauty, to be sought and discovered within the farms and in the white alleys, is the "singularity of space" that has made Ostuni and the Itria Valley in general, one of the most sought after tourist contexts on a global level. Italian, European and global. The culture of landscape, cuisine and certainly also architecture and design, often artisanal, can be discovered by those with culture who want to find them. And it is precisely around this idea of beauty to be discovered that some of the main installations of Ostuni Design Week-end are placed.
In this edition, Provasi exhibits the Charlie armchair, covered in white fabrics like the city that hosts it.
