Kinetic Harlequin: Milan Design Week 2025

Kinetic Harlequin is a Kinetic Sculpture Developed and Presented at Milano Design Week at Fabbrica del Vapore for Metamorphosis by Sam Wilcock and Ornella Iuorio.

The sculputure is an “Architectural Fragment” merging natural materials with robotic actuation, allowing surfaces to shift and morph in real time. Inspired by nature, adaptability incorporates computational control, allowing the system to behave like an organic body, reacting the environmental changes.

Developed at Politecnico di Milano with the support of our researchers and students Emil Korkis, Yuta Shirotani and Anwar Ahsen Qureshi.
