CRASH is the installation designed by Hannes Peer Architecture for Margraf on the occasion of Milan Design Week, inside Spazio BIG Santa Marta at 5VIE district. A work that pushes the boundaries between material and meaning.
The installation explores collision as both a conceptual and physical force, reshaping objects and leaving visible traces of a profound interaction. The marble, bending and detaching from the wall, challenges its inherent stoic solidity, interrupting the architecture like a deliberate mistake
CRASH thus serves as a reflection on the dynamism and unpredictability of the creative process, where tradition and innovation collide, resulting in a work that transcends expectations. It invites us to see marble not as a static material, but as a living substance in constant evolution. In its fractures, dents, and accidents, the project underscores that creation is rarely linear, but arises from a series of collisions, impacts, and unforeseen outcomes.
The result is a space where destruction and transformation converge, where every mark bears the memory of its creation, and where marble—a material that has endured for millennia—becomes a metaphor for the fleeting and fragile beauty of existence.
