this was also the case at milan design week 2019, where the group and many of its individual members exhibited across the city. these included a series of poetic design pieces that created narrative mosaic tiles for orsoni fornace; ceramic lamps and furnishings objects for ceramica flaminia, which responded to emerging trends within the home environment; and a collaboration between ooniko and refin where prisma project was challenged to design a collection of glass table objects with the capability to form a connection between reflection and representation.
