Designed by Note, and supported by Magis, Formations is a Tarkett exhibition that questions notions of scale, by taking architectural archetypes and turning them on their head. Owning the space of the historic Circolo Filologico Milanese, the installation is a celebration and homage to how design language can be twisted into new creative phrases.

Formations created a beautiful, peaceful environment that showed the enormous potential of iQ Surface vinyl, a brand new sustainable vinyl which Tarkett developed with Note.
The totems that were imagined for the scenography stretched the technical abilities of iQ Surface to its extremes, featuring complex double curves, arches, rings and cylinders. It played with the idea of scale and perspective, offering different experiences from below and above.

Repeated geometric objects balance carefully atop of round ended columns, perhaps the greatest archetype of all, in a daring and playful construct that quite literally turns pillars in the history of architecture on their head by reinterpreting them with a contemporary twist.
