Gallery
Movimento Gallery is a contemporary design gallery searching for the places where art and design co-exist; where an object has the ability to evoke emotion, provoke thought or challenge preconceptions.

As part of the Marks of Existence collection, Moreno Vannini presents Almost Soft Bench. This bench plays with perception, blurring the boundaries between hardness and softness. The solid travertine, sculpted with rounded edges, gentle curves, and two subtle rises, takes on the appearance of something worn smooth by time and touch. Neither rigid nor yielding, it lingers in an in between state, evoking a sensation of softness that stone should not possess, yet here, almost does.
The collection searches for beauty within the imperfection and explores our fascination with natural materials despite their unpredictability. The entire collection is tied together by Travertino Ascolano; an ancient, complex stone that carries memories of past its experiences and conditions. Through this unifying constraint, each piece becomes a representation of the artist, inheriting their culture, inspirations and experiences.
Following on from the launch of the Marks of Existence collection at PAD London in 2024, Movimento Gallery, in collaboration with Spazio Vento, brought the collection to Milan for Milan Art + Design Week 2025.
Our exhibition presents a curated selection of unique pieces by exceptional artists from around the world, each united by a shared exploration of innovative materials. These works, distinct in style and function, serve as powerful expressions of creativity and reflections of diverse cultural narratives.

Marks of existence is a collection of unique objects designed to highlight the allure of natural materials; the impossibly complex weaves of texture, colour and forms that, despite our ever-expanding capabilities, are still completely unattainable and irreproducible.
Our show marks the launch of a series of unique pieces conceived by a global selection of exceptional artists represented by our gallery. United by common materials, each piece, distinct in style, approach and function becomes both an expression of creativity and a reflection of culture.
