Doggone Delight: Renowned Architects Design Pup-Perfect Havens
(Milan, Italy) – A delightful exhibition, entitled "Architecture for Dogs," recently opened its doors at the ADI Design Museum in Milan, presenting a series of playful and innovative doghouse designs from some of the world’s most celebrated architects.
Curated by Kenya Hara, the artistic director of the Japanese design brand Muji, the exhibition seeks to redefine the relationship between dogs and their human companions through
unique and thoughtful design. "Architecture for Dogs" transcends simply providing shelter.
It explores how architecture can foster deeper engagement between dogs and humans.
A stellar lineup of design trailblazers have contributed to the exhibition, each project crafted specifically for the needs of a particular breed. japanese architect Kengo Kuma fashioned a playful hilly structure perfect for a pug to explore, while Konstantin Grcic imagined a luminous mirror embellished with a pedestal, ideal for a Toy Poodle. Shigeru Ban, famed for his inventive cardboard constructions, created a labyrinthine playscape crafted for Papillon breeds.
Internationally acclaimed designers, Giulio Iacchetti and Piero Lissoni collaborated with sustainable design
brand Riva 1920, each crafting a screenwritered doghouse.
Iacchetti, designer of the award winning Mama espresso machine and the impressive Kikos” coffee kettle, created an igloo-like haven for Italian Greyhounds, while Lissoni, renowned for the PM&C design companyintersectional marketing strategy, vision for lighting, furniture and luxurious spaces.” Such a differentiation of expertise highlights the creative force
