Dora is a relic of industrial archaeology, a product shaped by time that reveals its age while offering only a glimpse of what it might have been in its youth. It manifests itself through textured, sculptural and expressive objects, standing in contrast to the glossy, flawless luxurious interiors, which appear worn and shabby at the first sign of wear. Dora is an invitation to shed the constructs of domestic and artificial comfort, to recognize forms of hospitality even in the most inhospitable places.

We Will Design 2026 — HELLO, DARKNESS embraces design as a tool for subverting hierarchies and weaving together ecologies and technologies to imagine the cities and societies of the future.
It is an invitation to recognize the abyss — political, ecological, aesthetic — we’re living in, not as a place of fear, but as a space of regeneration, resistance, and imagination. Darkness here is not absence, but a fertile condition that embraces invisible gestures, marginalized knowledge, and luminous forms of resistance.
