Speech by Queen Máxima at the opening of Masterly – the Dutch in Milano.

Queen Máxima: ‘Here at ‘Masterly’, we can enjoy the finest examples of Dutch design in all its diversity. Right in the heart of the city, next to the spectacular Duomo. I would like to thank curator Nicole Uniquole for making this possible. And I would like to thank you Mr Mayor, and the city of Milan, for your hospitality. We feel very welcome here. The Dutch design community is very grateful for the close partnership and friendship with Milan. We hope to continue this for many years to come!
Grazie mille!’

Masterly Milano Award 2023

Designed by Sodalime (material: dichroic).
Jury: Mark Timo, Christine Boland and Nicole Uniquole

‘And the winner is Studio Vocum! Ceramic artist Pierluigi Pompei and acoustician Adam Foxwell. Their collaboration began with a shared vision and intensive research to connect form, sound, and colour that became the Vocum series. Vocum is both a design object and a high-fidelity loudspeaker crafted in custom-glazed porcelain and stoneware.

According to Foxwell, ceramics have unique material advantages in providing uncompromised sonic clarity. Pompei hand sculpts ceramic shapes that imitate wind instruments’ musical projection and overlays a signature colour composition. Colour expresses the sonorous quality of musical tones he experiences as a synaesthete – he “sees” music as colour when listening.’

The award was handed out to the winner during the network cocktail of De Interieur Club.
