Design. How do we perceive and inhabit the environments that surround us? Valencia-based studio Masquespacio has created Sensora, a striking installation for French textile and wallcovering Maison Élitis. The scenography blends architecture, colour and geometry, enhancing the tactile and visual dialogue between materials and space.

Sensora offers a progressive exploration of how shapes and spaces influence our perceptions and reflections. This sensory experience unfolds as an ongoing dialogue with Elitis’ latest collections.

The first act introduces the fundamental nature of geometry. As they enter, visitors navigate through a tunnel featuring four distinct spaces that investigate verticality, horizontality, inclination, and emptiness. Each space raises a critical question regarding the influence of architectural designs on our moods.

The second act examines how direct dialogue between body and space shapes our perception of the world. By entering enveloping circular structures, visitors immerse themselves in a blend of abstract geometry featuring Elitis’ textures and colours that foster a sense of freedom and liberation.

The final act leads guests into a silent oasis, where Élitis’ neutral fabrics and wallpaper collections foster a sense of calm and reflection. This setting showcases the versatility of Élitiss’ offerings, illustrating their capacity to shift from bold and “pop” proposals to refined and natural aesthetics, among other possibilities.

Sensora materialises through geometric and architectural forms brought to a human scale that borders on the surreal. “The central concept lies in the intentional overscaling of everyday elements, seeking to decontextualise the visitor’s experience and stimulate a new perspective on their relationship with the built environment.” Élitis and Masquespacio explain.
