Design Gallery Philia hosts the Transhumances III exhibition which showcases the selection of works by designers Andres Monnier, Morghen Studio, Elsa Foulon, and Laura Pasquino. The art is showcased in an ancient cave dwelling located in Cappadocia, Turkey. It sees impressive works including a chandelier that is made from a tree or candle holders that are carefully crafted using local stone.
The works are inspired by the UNESCO World Heritage site with the contributing efforts of local artisans. Co-founder and director of Philia, Ygaël Attali states, "I've loved Cappadocia for a long time – it's really a region of pottery and ceramics." He chose this location to honor the heritage and the residency took place throughout 10 days and marks the third part of the series by Philia.
