The journey, defined by Atlas Concorde’s Boost Expression ceramic surfaces in the Carbon shade – designed by Elisa Ossino – is marked by vertical walls finished with Mapei materials, emerging like geological fissures, guiding visitors toward a central reflective element. Here, the audience is invited to engage with their role in transforming the environment, entering into a dialogue between material, space, and design thinking. The Boost Expression collection brings materiality to life in its purest form. It was conceived with the goal of offering an extremely three-dimensional and tactile interpretation of the product, in perfect alignment with the theme of transformation represented by MAGMA. MAGMA serves as a metaphor for change, symbolizing nature as a constantly evolving organism, underscoring the need for a balanced relationship between humanity and the environment, even amid complexity.
