“metal rooms” at FuoriSalone 2026
Università degli Studi di Milano - Cortile d'Onore
INTERNI exhibition-event “MATERIAE”

An immersive journey celebrates the encounter between architecture and metal, between technology and perception. Sheets of Corten, burnished stainless steel, brass and galvanized steel, crafted with mastery, give life to four environments where light, sound and scents enhance the sensuality of the surfaces. Each room, conceived as a circular and intimate space, transforms metal from a simple cladding into a living structure, creating atmosphere. Visitors are invited to explore the material with all their senses, rediscovering its expressive depth and essential beauty.

The installation consists of four self-supporting cylindrical volumes, distributed in space as presences in dialogue with each other and their surroundings. Each room originates from the juxtaposition of vertically folded sheets, a simple gesture that generates structural rigidity, reflections and depth. The sheets, joined by regular connections, create a harmonious rhythm and showcase the metalworking expertise of Secco Sistemi, responsible for cutting, bending, tolerances and finishes.

The materials define the chromatic and tactile identity of each environment in their natural, unpainted expression, while the sculptural external walls engage with the surrounding space and conceal interiors shaped by integrated lighting. Sounds and scents complete the sensory journey, while curtains filter access, isolating the visitor and transforming the space into an intimate and welcoming resonating chamber, where the coldness of metal becomes a poetic and architectural language.

At FuoriSalone 2026, from April 20 to 30, Secco Sistemi takes part in the INTERNI exhibition-event “MATERIAE” with the installation “metal rooms”.
