An exhibition by Linde Freya Tangelder
in collaboration with Cassina

Linde Freya Tangelder develops an overarching exhibition, during Milan Design Week 2026, in collaboration with Cassina, set within the unique surrounding of 10 Corso Como.

Within this process inspired installation, Linde Freya Tangelder gives a versatile view on her sculptural world, merging craftsmanship with a contemporary vision. Linde Freya’s artistic approach is layered through several scales and disciplines; from scenography to unique or limited-edition pieces, alongside serially produced furniture & lighting she designed for Cassina.

Shaped by the same process-driven, sculptural attitude that defines her work, the different elements within the installation interact with one another. By reimagining and reworking existing collections, while introducing new pieces, a sense of fluidity emerges throughout the exhibition.

At its core, the installation reflects fluidity through craftsmanship. It creates a dialogue between ancient and contemporary techniques, shifting seamlessly between disciplines. Within the semi-transparent spatial interventions and platforms, the exhibition unfolds in phases, recollecting fragments and pieces. Emphasizing the dialogue between art – architecture – fashion, which are the main disciplines influencing Linde Freya's work, the exhibition opens up new perspectives.

The connection between Cassina and Linde Freya Tangelder lies in a shared ambition to create culturally relevant designs that embrace innovative approaches to crafts.

For this occasion a new Fluid Joinery Light is presented, together with the first prototypes of a chair for Cassina. In her artworks she further explores the Reworked and Remould series, which will be exhibited simultaneously.

The collaboration with Linde Freya Tangelder began in 2022, when Cassina launched Patronage, a project aimed at cultivating international talent, nurturing creativity and supporting the culture of design. This relationship has evolved over the past years; Cassina acted as a cultural partner for Linde Freya’s first solo show, and Cassina engaged Linde in the development of furniture and a collection of blown-glass lamps, products that share the same unmistakable style that sets this Belgian based designer’s work apart.
