What Happened
The installation 'Origin', located in the courtyard of the former Archiepiscopal Seminary, distills Audi's new design philosophy into an architectural experience that invites reflection. Its matte metallic skin reflects the historic surroundings, creating a dialogue between contemporary design and heritage.
13 consecutive years
Audi has established itself as a contributor to the global design community that gathers in Milan.
“Our recurring presence in Milan is not about showing cars – it is about contributing to a broader cultural debate. In a world that is getting busier every day, design must help people filter the noise, find clarity, and reconnect with what truly matters.”
Why this matters
Audi uses design and cultural events to shape its brand identity and advance electrification, including a new plug-in hybrid and its Formula 1 entry.
