Nullus Locus takes over the storefront and creates a furniture atelier. Bringing the studio’s embroidered wood furniture together with technical drawings, sketches, material samples, and embroidery trials, the installation offers an intimate look at the creative process behind the work.

​

Following presentations during Milan Design Week and at Salon 94, this iteration places warm, hand-embroidered wood against Null Object’s steel-clad walls and concrete floors. Developed with Italian fashion designer Fabio Zambernardi, the technique required more than a year of adapting embroidery machines to work with wood. The machine produces the stitch, the material is guided by hand, and a digital file determines the pattern, a hybrid process the studio calls “manomachine.”

​

Massimiliano Locatelli says: “We wanted to see how far we could take the idea of embroidering the impossible. Stitching metal thread into wood transforms walls, floors, and furniture into a kind of drawing in relief. The room is not a backdrop for objects. It is the object.”

​

For the exhibition, Nullus Locus  will also unveil a limited edition of embroidered wooden holiday ornaments exclusive to Null Object. The pieces translate the studio’s architectural language to a collectible scale and offer an accessible entry point into the practice.
