Скачать или смотреть interview: DRIFT mimics soft winds with luminous work for AUDI at milan design week

Returning to Milan Design Week after ten years, dutch artist duo Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta of DRIFT once more redefine how movement, environment, and technology intersect. In collaboration with Audi, their latest installation, Drift Us, unfolds in the peaceful courtyard of the Portrait Milano Hotel.

The work forms an immersive robotic landscape where kinetic bulbs sway in response to visitors’ movements, mimicking wind in a field of grass. Like much of drift’s work, this luminous project is grounded in natural phenomena, yet engineered through complex design systems where organic and synthetic experiences meet.

Drift Us will be open at Portrait Milano Hotel, Corso Venezia 11, and will be on view from April 7th -- 13th, 2025.
