Two & A Half Rooms
The project takes the form of a spatial installation made up of two symmetrical rooms and a narrow corridor in between — literally creating “two and a half rooms” within the fair and an almost opposite of the 2025 booth.
Rather than creating a typical fair booth, OWN believes in creating an immersive environment within the sea of objects on a fair. These niches or enclosures offer the visitor to capture a moment of contemplation in relation to our curated objects. The two main spaces are designed as familiar settings: one reads as a dining room, the other as a living room. Facing each other in symmetry, they echo one another while offering different atmospheres and uses. The one more classical, warmer and architectural; the other more contemporary, cooler and surreal.
Between them, a tight corridor acts as a transitional space — a room in itself — slowing the visitor down and shifting the experience from one side to the other. The walls are covered in a dark brown corduroy fabric, offering a vintage feeling for the contemporary artworks to dissolve the boundary of time.
Our works are complemented by a selection of blue-chip artworks, by artists such as Magritte, Condo, Kusama and Hartung. Established artists woven through contemporary design in a vintage setting evoke a confusing yet harmonious dialogue, blurring the sense of time.
