Re-Design Tower Blends Modern Art with Sustainable Practices

The Re-Design Tower features 400 works of art produced by nerolabstudio, showcasing the aesthetic potential of contemporary design while promoting sustainable approaches. The project draws from Nerosicilia’s historical archive, transforming its materials into new artistic expressions.
