In the Officine Abarth project, space itself becomes the main character.
It doesn’t represent the car — it creates it. It gathers its rhythm, tension, and contained energy, translating them into matter, light, and sound.
It is an experiment in Esperia’s language: a sensitive architecture, where perception shapes form and matter becomes experience.
The installation unfolds as a contemporary workshop — a landscape of raw materials, frictions, and contrasts. It is a space you feel before you understand, where the visitor doesn’t look at design but inhabits it.
Light moves over painted brick, shimmers on metal mesh, and softens on polished steel — as if time itself were a material.
The spatial sequence has two dimensions, physical and emotional.
Outside lies power: the car as a sculptural body. Inside lies intimacy: the workshop as memory, as gesture turned into language.
The visitor climbs, observes, touches, listens — and becomes part of a perceptive transformation.
A real, tangible environment where experiment meets experience, and space becomes narrative.
This is Esperia’s vision: space as a living act of perception, where design, sound, and material are part of the same sensorial continuum.
In the world of Abarth, that continuum speaks of strength, precision, and desire.
