Sensory Landscape in Milan: art, design and cuisine for the five senses

Sensory Landscape at Palazzo Bovara: an experience for the five senses

Palazzo Bovara in Milan hosts Sensory Landscape, an exhibition project focused on sensory perception through design interventions, landscape and food. Curated by Elle Decor Italia and designed by architect Piero Lissoni, the installation converts the main floor and courtyard into a setting meant to slow down and sharpen sensory awareness.

• Architecture and set-up: Lissoni’s minimalist approach uses essential materials and studied proportions to create a visual "silence" that enhances perception.
• Landscape: a garden by landscaper Antonio Perazzi that converses with the historic interiors and works on display.
• Works: impactful pieces from the Marco Bertoli gallery collection, including serigraphs and historic works selected for their evocative power.
• Multimedia: soundscapes and projections calibrated to deepen the sensorial experience.
• Reading room: a space for study curated by Feltrinelli Editore.
• Temporary restaurant: ALMA – The International School of Italian Cuisine presents a menu by chef Federico Vigilante that translates the five senses into dishes: crunchy elements for sound, hand-held preparations for touch, fermentations and aromatic components for smell, restrained chromatic choices for sight, and layered savory combinations for taste.

Why go: the installation appeals to design enthusiasts and to anyone interested in experimental encounters between art and daily life, offering an immersive approach to perception.
