2022

In 2022, the first concept was "OSMOFOLOGY", an exhibition conceived in collaboration with the Milanese creative studio S.C. Artroom. The exhibition was born from N51 and the studio's shared love for Wagashi, typical Japanese sweets that pairs the tea, usually brought as a gift for friends, relatives or colleagues. Each sweet encapsulates a distinct history, aesthetic and flavor, becoming a container and reflection of the many facets of the Japanese culture. These sweets, one might call them edible design objects. Inside the two spaces of N51, the traditional elements of the tea ceremony have been recreated, but twisted and taken to an extreme level. The small, delicate, fluffy cakes become huge in size and made from hostile yet colorful materials thanks to paper cutouts provided by Paper&People, a Milan-based atelier of fine papers from all around the world. For the exhibition, it was possible to see and taste the magnificent sweets of Toraya, a historic Japanese confectionery established in Kyoto in the 16th century, also a supplier to the Japanese imperial court. 2022 During 2022, the work and research of Japanese artists such as Chiga Kenji and Ohira Ryuichi are also digitally narrated. 

We study each other. The idea of the exhibition is for it to be a constantly evolving display: from the opening, where sweet and savory creations designed especially for RINIIFISH by BibiLab, a pastry workshop was served; to the celebration of the Chinese Lantern Festival, to the workshop to paint your own "Bunny Bug," immersed in RINIIFISH's psychedelic videos. The Bugs born in digital form, become physical in limited editions on Fedrigoni's magnificent Premium White paper, embellished with sectoral ennoblements in thick glossy varnish, but also as gadgets, toys and embossed stickers.
