"Playfulness and wonder is where creativity is born" says Nassia Inglessis in exclusive interview

Dezeen commissioned Studio INI founder Inglessis to create an experiential installation as part of a showcase exploring materiality, craftsmanship and artificial intelligence.

Titled Design You Can Feel, the showcase was hosted with Taiwanese electronics brand ASUS, and took place in the historic art nouveau Galleria Meravigli, located near the Duomo in the heart of Milan.

The showcase ran during Milan design week, following on from ASUS and Dezeen's collaboration at London Design Festival the previous year.

Inglessis told Dezeen about her experience of partnering with ASUS, and her design process.

"It was such a natural collaboration because of their deep thoughtfulness on materiality", she explained.

Inglessis' installation was titled Wilful Wonder, and was formed of a series of moving wing-like panels, organised around a central walkway.

Each wing was made using aluminium honeycomb panels and ASUS's proprietary Ceraluminum material.

Ceraluminum is a material developed by ASUS for its Zenbook laptops, which combines aluminium's lightweight nature with the durability of ceramics.
