ALCOVA DESIGN SHOP / DROP 4 / BOOP LAMP BY SUGARWAVE

THE MAKING OF

Boop takes shape through the movement of repurposed industrial robotic arms, transforming industrial processes into a delicate exploration of form and material. Through algorithmic variation and the movement of the nozzle, each layer takes shape in a continuous dialogue between technology, material and gravity, leaving the trace of the machine while giving rise to organic, ever-changing forms.

More than a lamp, Boop responds to ambient sounds, voices and music, shifting its light in a slow, breathing rhythm inspired by the ocean depths.

Boop Lamp by sugarwave is now available exclusively on Alcova Design Shop.

ALCOVA MEXICO CITY / FEBRUARY 2027
/ VILLA REFORMA

From February 3 to 7, Alcova travels to Mexico City for Art Week 2027, marking its first-ever Latin American edition.

Among the three venues hosting this new chapter is Villa Reforma — a hidden gem of Mexican modernism.

Designed in the 1950s by Francisco Artigas, the house stands as one of the few remaining examples of his residential work outside El Pedregal, defined by its low, horizontal structure and L-shaped plan, where expansive glazing establishes a continuous dialogue between interior and landscape.

Applications for Alcova Mexico City 2027 are now open.

/ IT MUST HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE BY ANDREA FERRERO X FRENCH PLACE

Set within the outdoor spaces of the Baggio Military Hospital during Alcova Milano 2026, Andrea Ferrero x French Place presented “It Must Have Been a Nightmare.” Andrea Ferrero’s practice explores how architectures of power shape the way in which we imagine and move through the world, tracing mythologies of domination embedded in built space. With glimpses of mockery, irony, and mischief, Andrea translates her fantasies into immersive installations, edible banquets and play infrastructures that weave political history with myth, prophecy and personal memory, combining techniques that range from aluminum casting to ironwork and chocolate making.
