Duetti: Musical Furniture explores the intersection of urban design, music, and collective well-being. Comprising two distinct elements, it invites visitors to engage in a unique multisensory experience.
The rocking bench, from the Daydreamer series, generates soothing music and light animations in response to rocking movements. This interaction, merging analog and digital realms, aims to reduce stress and foster daydreaming.
The musical bollard, part of the Musical Lines series, responds to touch and movement. By gliding over the embedded lines, visitors trigger vocal harmonies, encouraging rhythmic and collaborative exploration of the space.
Together, these two elements create a generative and contemplative soundscape. Compositions emerge from individual and collective interactions, mirroring the social dynamics of public spaces.
The installation draws on scientific research demonstrating the beneficial effects of synchronized activity and collective musical performance on well-being. Daily tous les jours thus proposes an innovative approach to urban design, seamlessly blending aesthetics, interactivity, and therapeutic considerations.

Created in 2024 for Milano’s Fuorisalone, as part of 5Vie Network’s Unlimited Design Orchestra.
