Drawing on the life and writings of Bruce Chatwin, the catalogue reflects on the restless spirit of nomadism and its interplay with urban life. Focusing on the middle decades of the twentieth century, Metropolis traces how interior design evolved beyond the confines of national identity, becoming a vehicle for storytelling, cultural exchange, and the circulation of ideas across cities. Here, design is presented as a nomadic language—intercontinental, open, and receptive—turning interiors into crossroads where distant influences meet, merge, and resonate.
