The Virtual Gym

The long-awaited second  season of “Body Building” uses an incredible new gold skin made of recycled polyester from plastic bottles. This time, however, this landmark project was not presented in a physical space but in a fantasy VIRTUAL GYM created in collaboration with Six N. Five studio.
 Famous for their tongue-in-cheek exploration of some of contemporary  society’s greatest obsessions, Alberto Biagetti and Laura Baldassari take  the Body Building concept one step further with an environmentally conscious approach.

Started in 2015 the project curated by Maria Cristina Didero created a subtle short-circuit between expectations and reality taking us on a journey from our preconceived ideas of hardcore gym equipment to the reality of luxury, hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture and lighting. Atelier Biagetti now reverses this logic and takes us on a rollercoaster ride navigating preconceptions, beauty’s obsessions and virtual reality along the way, in keeping with the Milan-based atelier’s DNA and signature exploratory and ironic style.
