Seven Minutes In Heaven, draws upon the universally resonant themes of closeness and anticipation. This exhibition transforms the nostalgic allure of secluded moments into an immersive design experience, deepening the bond between people and the objects that surround them. Audiences are invited to spend seven uninterrupted minutes inside the exhibit. Within this space sits a collection of furniture works designed by Streifen, each reflecting their design philosophy, robust and infused with a gentle sense of frayed romanticism. During these seven minutes, participants will be encouraged to interact with each piece: to stroke, to open, to lay, to pull.
In collaboration with Studio Manifold, who bring their own vision to the space, Seven Minutes In Heaven invites audiences to reimagine their relationship with the designed world. Seven Minutes in Heaven can evoke a range of emotions from desire and excitement to introspection and vulnerability. This is an exhibit where the boundary between the object and the participant blurs, making both feel alive, connected, and emotionally resonant. Through this experience, Streifen challenges participants to reconsider the emotional role of the objects that shape their environments, and by extension, their lives.
