HOMMÉS Studio & TAPIS Studio present NEOCOSMOS – TAKE ME TO THE SUN, a cosmic exhibition that will take part in Milan Design Week 18-23 April on the Palazzo delle Meraviglie at Museo Bagatti Valsecchi on MonteNapoleone District.
HOMMÉS Studio returns to Milan after last year’s successful debut for the international design event Fuorisalone, presenting new design concepts, product collections, and a new manifesto beyond the indoors to the outdoors.
NEOCOSMOS is a tribute to the sun, the center of our solar system and the oldest star in the universe. NEOCOSMOS celebrates a deep connection with nature, and life, a contemplation of the divine energy connecting all living beings on earth.
THE MANIFESTO
THE SUN RISES
A BRILLIANT, BEAUTIFUL, WARM RED LIGHT
IT DRIVES TIME, OCEAN CURRENTS, SEASONS, AND CLIMATE.
IT CREATES LIFE
TAKE A SEAT, RELAX, AND ENJOY
TAKE ME TO THE SUN
NEOCOSMOS is a design manifesto that explores the future of human living spaces using oniric scenarios to create a relationship between memory, place, and passion.
HOMMÉS Studio aims to provide a multisensorial approach to design and a new perception of the outdoors with the experience of senses, incorporating various materials, textures, colors, and lighting to create a unique tactile and visual experience.
Blurring the boundaries between the interior and exterior, reality and imagination, comfort and desire, HOMMÉS creates a space that embodies a contemporary design manifesto. The clash of stellar shapes and bold colors create a bold and vibrant aesthetic that adds meaning to our living, turning any home into a private universe.
NEOCOSMOS is beyond a design concept but a vision for the future of human living spaces. It challenges traditional notions of what a home should be and explores the possibilities of what it could become. By embracing a multisensorial approach to design and incorporating innovative materials and technologies, NEOCOSMOS embodies a new way of thinking about living spaces, both imaginative and transformative.
TAKE ME TO THE SUN
A synesthetic journey of the conscious thought parallel worlds that emphasize and connect the viewer with the universe, the sun, and life, with a gentle reminder of the importance of nature’s contemplation and preservation. We, humans, are responsible for making the world a better place to live in, not only for ourselves but for future generations. By doing this, we can ensure that the beauty and wonder of experiences like “Take me to the sun” are accessible to future generations and that our world remains a vibrant and life-sustaining place for all.
CAN YOU IMAGINE?
An immersive journey that transports us to the future through light! We can envision interiors inspired by an ethereal attitude of deep delight.
The design carries a futuristic language, and the primary function of each object and purpose are transformed, attaching a new symbolism.
REALITY OR ILLUSION?
With its eyes set on the future, HOMMÉS Studio invites you to imagine a futuristic concept that uses tools such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) to open the doors to the imagination and creativity of the spectators. A hybrid space that evolves and transforms itself as change happens within ourselves. It will leave visitors wondering whether the future must be rewritten or a rebirth of classical philosophies and aesthetics.
HOUSE OF HOMMÉS
HOUSE OF HOMMÉS is the home of four bold and unique design brands that share the same ultra-modern lexicon. Starting as HOMMÉS Studio, the brand’s unceasing creative evolution and mutation branched out TAPIS Studio, ACH Collection & ACH4Pets. Tailored to comprehensive lifestyles, HOUSE OF HOMMÉS creates modern furniture, bold decor objects, luxe pet accessories, and stylish rugs that blend artisan knowledge and industrial innovation, paying particular attention to how they fit in the same space.
With its very first international exhibition at Palazzo delle Meraviglie at Fuorisalone 2022, HOUSE OF HOMMÉS aims to outline the singularity of each brand born under the umbrella of HOMMÉS Studio, the first brand of the lifestyle conglomerate. NEOCOSMOS is a theatrical affirmation of HOMMÉS Studio’s chameleonic genetic code and how a plethora of objects with a strong character can harmoniously inhabit under the same roof.
HOUSE OF HOMMES invites visitors to use their senses – sight, touch, hearing, and smell – to explore materials, finishes, and samples of the meticulously crafted designs and learn the distinctiveness of each provocative and improbable brand through an immersive showroom experience.
HOMMÉS Studio
HOMMÉS Studio is born from a skilled merge of visionary identities with distinctive design, art, fashion and pop culture perspectives. The studio conveys its inspiration into design pieces that are refreshing and relevant, paying particular attention to how they can fit contemporary spaces with bold and unique identities.
HOMMÉS Studio aims to set trends instead of following them. The design studio is in unceasing creative evolution and mutation, branching out new brands and forms of expression. Under its umbrella, ACH Collection, ACH4Pets & TAPIS Studio add up to the interior design industry with cheerful home accessories, premium pet accessories, and modern rugs that complement every room with colorful and sculptural entities.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Micael Carvalho is the creative director of HOMMÉS Studio and a multidisciplinary artist who finds interior design the peak manifestation of his passion for art history and visual arts, from photography and painting to digital design.
Born to a mother whose family is tied to handmade textiles and artisanal fashion and to a father who is a photography and nature lover, Micael learned to explore the beauty within the simplest things from a very young age. His attraction to everything aesthetic and authentic was nurtured during his childhood. To him, home is the primary source of inspiration, ‘home is more than a space where you live. It should be your creative harbor with the power to transform, inspire, and change your soul.’
Whenever he leaves his creative nest, Micael Carvalho carries a notebook. A mere landscape can lead him to a creative spree, and creating is the catharsis for his aesthetic soul and uninterrupted creative mindset. Micael sees design as a magic tool to bring his ideas to life and share his imaginative world with the people around him, and he feels that creating is what he is meant to do – at least, it is what makes him happy and feel alive.
PALAZZO delle MERAVIGLIE
Palazzo delle Meraviglie is an event curated by Katrin Herden that gathers six avant-garde companies from around the world at Museo Bagatti Valsecchi in Montenapoleone District during Milan Design Week.
Known for its permanent collections of Italian renaissance art, the Museum Bagatti Valsecchi is a unique and stimulating historic house museum in downtown Milan that has hosted Palazzo delle Meraviglie since its first edition in 2019. Counting with a forced hiatus in 2020, the event created by Katrin Herden and organized by the Milan-based interior designer alongside her Studio MHZ co-founder architect Alessandro Zarinelli invites six leading brands to occupy the chambers of Museo Bagatti Valsecchi and flaunt their vision for the design industry.
Palazzo delle Meraviglie aims to explore the future of interior design with clashing classic and contemporary art, creating an intense artistic symbiosis.
