MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2025
IT MEANS PEACE
War
A narrow passage immersed in sounds evoking the roar of the trenches, an atmosphere charged with tension and discomfort, recalling the chaos and hardship of conflict.
Peace
A radiant tree stands before the visitors, a symbol of rebirth and hope. Beauty, fragile yet powerful, presents itself as a destination to be reached with awareness and the will to build a better tomorrow. In the background, lullabies from countries at war are played like whispers of hope. It is the promise of a new beginning—an invitation to choose light over darkness.
Peace is a choice.
Action
Along the path, seven glowing inscriptions of the word “PEACE” in different languages shine through the darkness, while the voices of great historical figures echo, reminding us that peace is not merely a utopia, but a daily commitment.
Each visitor is invited to leave a mark: light a candle, write a message, perform an act of hope.
The Collaboration with Marco Balich
Marco Balich, founder of Balich Wonder Studio and master of grand ceremonies and creator of iconic events such as the Olympic Ceremonies, is renowned for his ability to transform spaces into soul-stirring experiences. His collaboration with Eugenia Bruni stems from a shared vision: a deep respect for the values of peace, love, beauty, and sustainability. Together, they bring to life an installation that is not only a work of art, but a call to action—an experience that leaves a lasting mark.
The Ghirlanda Collection
Within this unique experience, Pasquale Bruni’s Ghirlanda Collection seamlessly merges with the profound meaning of the installation.
Its lotus flowers—symbols of rebirth and spirituality—emerge from the water basins, transforming light and beauty into a ritual of peace.
"What if we were like a lotus, reborn each day in search of light? We would bloom in a meditation of peace, in an intention that offers the beauty of unconditional love to the world." – Eugenia Bruni
