Monochrome Affinity: a sensory immertion in marble
Set within the baroque heart of Palazzo Visconti, Monochrome Affinity comes to life as an immersive journey through matter, light, and colour. The installation, designed by Migliore+Servetto, transforms marble into an expressive language, intertwining perceptions and atmospheres into a monochrome narrative that poetically unveils the material's depth. It is an invitation to be immersed in the material’s essence, heightened by the emotional resonance of the monochromes that weave connections between them.

Monochrome affinity: the exhibition route at Palazzo Visconti
Setting the stage for this discovery journey is atelier oï’s modular system of table and seating, which marks the beginning of the exhibition path within the building through five rooms, five colours, and five sensory worlds, which harmonise furniture, surfaces, and light.
Chapter 01
The Infinite Bordeaux
The Infinite Bordeaux is a space enveloped in the deep richness of bordeaux, where the vivid hues of Breccia Antica and Calacatta Viola marble meet chenille in the same shade and patterned steel. The Stefano Gallizioli’s seating, a Draw Studio’s cabinet, and the Migliore+Servetto’s bookcase and lamps are arranged to form a sophisticated and enveloping environment.
Chapter 02
The Deep Black
The Deep Black is an exploration into the black depths. Sahara Noir and Portoro nero blend in a play of shadows and reflections that define a vast living area. This includes Stefano Gallizioli’s modular sofas and armchairs, alongside Migliore+Servetto’s lamps, a sideboard, coffee tables, and bookcases, and an atelier oï’s lamp. They create a vibrant and dense atmosphere, where marble delves deep into the darkness.
Chapter 03
The Green Woods
The Green Woods offers a fluid and natural landscape, where Verde Borgogna quartzite shapes the space. The bathroom furnishings are inspired by tree-like forms rising from the ground. The main feature is the bathtub designed by Monica Armani, along with her monolithic washbasins and imposing oval mirror. A Stefano Gallizioli’s sofa and a Migliore+Servetto’s lamp complete the ensemble, and craft an oasis of balance and serenity.
Chapter 04
The Absolute White
The Absolute White is an ethereal realm, where Oyster Bianco shapes every element. The Draw Studio’s bed, coffee table, bedside table, and cabinet are complemented by Stefano Gallizioli’s shaved sheepskin seating. atelier oï’s lamps enhance the sense of lightness, creating an almost intangible, suspended atmosphere.
Chapter 05
The Earth Brown
The Earth Brown brings the journey to a close with the enveloping warmth of Bronze Fantasy and Tobacco Brown marble. The slabs’ cut creates a graphic landscape that interacts with Draw Studio's table and cabinet, Gabriele and Oscar Buratti's leather and fabric seating, and Migliore+Servetto's bookcase and floor lamps. The rich tones of marble merge with dark brown leather and pigmented metal accents, evoking an elegant connection to nature.
