MOST: Nivea
– Studio Toogood. Studio Toogood presented 'la cura' a project with
Nivea. ‘la cura’ was a visual antidote to the chaos of the Salone del
Mobile, a hospital for the senses where visitors were invited to rebalance
through a series of intimate performances.
Nivea –
Studio Toogood. Whilst experiencing a therapeutic sound and light
composition produced in collaboration with Kite and Laslett, visitors were
presented with a ball of white clay to mold and shape into something that
reflects their own individual expression and mood. These artworks – called ‘The
Cures’ – were collected at the end of each performance and clustered together
in the ‘Pavilion’ during the course of the week to create a collective
sculpture.

outfits designed by Faye Toogood, attended to, maintained and safeguarded ‘The
Cures’. For the performance the Underkitchen by food designers Arabeschi di Latte, prepared a re-energizing elixir designed to restore people’s sparkle and
spirit. The air was filled with a bespoke scent by perfumers 12.29 which was
designed to capture the essence of the color white in olfactory form.
