Contourella

Studio65 grasped this opportunity to design a fitness centre and used it to reflect ironically on the myth of stereotyped beauty, that puts appearance before the quality of being. And so in Milan, the studio designed this place, devoted to the fascination of the body: Contourella, referred to as the “Temple of Beauty”. The layout included the entrance to the temple, a juice bar and a swimming pool – colours, gigantic backdrop, ironic, a multi-coloured Babylon in which the change of scale brought back the experience of infancy. The mouth-shaped sofa, designed specifically for this context, symbolises the lips of the goddess who has no face.
