Instant Stories presents the latest works of ten extraordinary designers and studios from Berlin showcasing their love for experimentation and narration in their objects as well as in their installations. The objects on show range from biodegradable cellulose lights to an umbrella table to chairs grown out of cultivated plants.

For the Milan edition, each designer has developed a still life scenery staging his/her work in large wooden cases and thus putting it into a wider context. Instead of isolating the objects in a white gallery cube, the set-design invited you to take a look at the bigger picture. Emphasizing the narrative quality of design, the exhibition‘s setting has enabled the designers to seize on different aspects, attributes and concepts of their designs and to enhance these in a specific mise en scène.
By staging their objects as characters, spinning them in tales or by shedding light on the initial inspirations and concepts, the settings have enfolded amusing, insightful and thought-provoking narratives.

The Berlin edition showcases the documentation of the set-design as beautiful photographic still lifes as well as the objects by themselves.
