Ulises Studio Transforms Milan's Palazzo del Senato into a Vibrant, Inflatable Clay Landscape for Design Week

For Milan Design Week 2026, Ulises Studio, led by artist Ricardo Orts, has unveiled "EpiQ! by Škoda Auto," an extraordinary inflatable installation that redefines the historic Palazzo del Senato. This immersive creation transforms the venerable venue into a surreal, clay-like landscape awash in a spectrum of vivid colors, including pink, orange, yellow, and turquoise. Described by Orts as a 'playground for kids and adults,' the installation encourages interaction and play, inviting visitors to wander through its undulating forms and bulbous shapes. The use of inflatable structures offers a contemporary approach to spatial design, emphasizing adaptability and lightness. Juxtaposed against the Palazzo's classical architecture, the vibrant, organic forms create a striking dialogue between heritage and modernity. This collaboration with Škoda Auto underscores a growing trend of cross-industry partnerships pushing creative boundaries, presenting design as a powerful tool for emotional engagement and experiential storytelling. "EpiQ!" stands out as a celebration of joy, innovation, and the transformative power of art and design.
