Hall 15.

Euroluce 2017: DeLightFuL – Frame from M. Garrone trailer.

Design, Light, Future and Living are the four key concepts that, together, make up DeLightFuL, an exhibition exploring everyday living and the contemporary home of Millennials. They live beyond borders in a transitory and shared lifestyle. Interconnected spaces guide visitors through colourful contemporary home environments meshing high-Tech and archetypal, public and private, essential and aspirational. An inspirational video by Italian director Matteo Garrone blends fantasy atmospheres and natural storytelling.

“Surrounded by design, well informed and with well-defined tastes, Millennials seek personalisation and shun standardisation.” Explain the curators Ciarmoli Queda Studio. “They care about quality, and have a concept of luxury that revolves around ‘experience and authenticity’. This increasingly widespread trend is something that we may define as Primitive Luxury”.
