'25 Eclipse of Perceptions

2025 Milan Design Week
Museo della Permanente, Milan / April 7–13

The moment boundaries dissolve
and converge in
perfect alignment,
a new chapter of Kia Design
begins.

  • At Milan Design Week 2025, Kia Design presents an experience
  • where design, artists, and audiences connect as one.
  • “The Eclipse” symbolizes Kia Design's firm belief
  • that creativity deepens not as an individual outcome,
  • but when perspectives and ideas intersect—
  • mirroring the moment when the sun, moon, and Earth align.

Eclipse of Perceptions,
A Shared Direction
for Creation

In 2025, Kia unveiled its third Milan Design Week exhibition, "OPPOSITES UNITED: Eclipse of Perceptions," at Museo della Permanente.

Over the past three years, Kia’s design exhibitions in Milan have brought together artists, creatives, scholars, and thinkers who share Kia’s vision—fostering the exchange of ideas with audiences, offering new perspectives, and expanding a growing creative community.

The 2025 exhibition showcased artworks by artists within the community who reimagined the cultural essence of “OPPOSITES UNITED” in their own creative languages. Conversations unfolded as artists, scholars, and thinkers shared their perspectives on “OPPOSITES UNITED,” while cross-disciplinary live performances brought the exhibition's narrative to life.

Here, audiences are not merely visitors. They are co-creators of the cultural community and creative forces that complete the celebration.

When different perspectives and
senses converge in a single Eclipse,
Kia Design becomes the force
that ushers in a new era beyond change.

This exhibition—woven through light, rhythm,
and flow—marks the beginning of
bold expansions and experiments yet to unfold.

New perspectives. New possibilities.
New movements.
The next era begins here.
