Alchemy of Form
This captivating exhibition both inspires and delights with an alchemy of transformative materials and forms. The collection features new perspectives and pioneering techniques, which offer thought-provoking insights into a progressive and playful approach to design. The definition of alchemy encompasses a wide range of practices, including experimentation, observation, and the study of natural elements.
