mito spider auto showroom

foligno (pg) – 2007

The Mitospider showroom, specializing in classic cars, was created in an industrial warehouse reimagined as a museum.The walls feature downward-sloping panels entirely covered with prints related to the theme, including photos, technical drawings, and iconic stills from the film “Il Sorpasso.”

A wood-paneled platform at the entrance displays the current flagship model, while to the side is a glass-enclosed office featuring the Castiglioni brothers’ Toio lamp, crafted from a car headlight.

The central section of the space features mirrored steel panels at various heights that intersect, reflecting the space below in a multifaceted manner and softening the context. Together with the glossy resin-coated industrial floor, these panels help reflect light and double the images.
