Elizabeth Lewis: Cosmic Meadow

With Cosmic Meadow, SWING Design Gallery presents a solo installation by Australian ceramic artist Elizabeth Lewis, curated by Angela da Silva.

The project explores surreal biomorphic forms inspired by ancient sculpture and architecture, drawing from animal imagery and mythological references. Through hand-built ceramics, Lewis develops vessels and wall pieces that embrace processes of transformation, where decay and calcification become part of their expressive language.

Colorful vases populated by hybrid, unrecognisable creatures and serpentine forms build a sculptural landscape, presented as an immersive installation that blurs the line between object, myth, and environment.

CASAORNELLA: Animale Sociale – Nessuno mi può giudicare

Curated by Maria Vittoria Paggini, Animale Sociale brought together designers and collaborators including Turati Cucine, Fratelli Boffi, Cerasarda, Softhouse, Serenissima (Gruppo Romani), Corpoluce, Fotone Design, Michele Chiocciolini, Gouache (Kerakoll), Rumore, Mamoli Milano, Ferruccio Laviani, Alessandro Florio, Giuseppe Palermo, Ludovica Lugli, Abreham Brioschi, Sébastien Nôtre, Narici Milano, Laboratorio Niko Romito, Armatore Cetara, Feudi di San Gregorio, Mastrojanni, Sartoria Latorre, and BTicino at Casaornella.

The apartment became a permeable domestic organism where thresholds replaced walls and space was designed for encounter. Living, dining, sleeping, and bathroom areas flowed into one another through materials, light, and objects that dissolved separation and encouraged proximity.

Across the interiors, bespoke furniture, ceramic systems, mirrored surfaces, textiles, and sculptural works created a continuous environment where design, art, and daily rituals overlapped. The house became a shared field of presence rather than a sequence of rooms.
