Material | ALPI wood veneer with matte open-grain finish

Dimension | 40*40*51 cm

True sanctuary transcends mere technical protection—it embodies a sustainable civilization, inclusive communities, and collective resilience when confronting the unknown.

Pixel’s exterior features ALPI Warp Frosty Grey wood veneer, a design by Piero Lissoni inspired by the ruled lines and grids of school notebooks. This graphic-inspired wooden texture transforms into a bold, modular architectural expression, turning crisis response into tangible, everyday design.

Here, "sanctuary" becomes an active survival aesthetic—where adaptability is woven into daily life, and true security emerges from embracing change and responding with creativity.
