In a world where design and history converge, a unique experience emerges: Zigurat, an ephemeral installation created by the talented interior designer Fabián Ñíguez for Neolith at ADN Fórum 2024. This art installation is not only a tribute to the past but a bridge toward a more mindful future, closely connected to our environment.

Imagine stepping into a space where every element has been carefully designed to guide you on a temporal and spiritual journey. Zigurat is more than just an installation; it’s an invitation to explore the ancient symbolism of Mesopotamian structures while immersing yourself in a multisensory atmosphere. With evocative textures like sand underfoot and neutral lighting leading the way, this installation transports you to a place where past and present intertwine, letting you experience the essence of architecture in a completely new way.

The Zigurat, an icon of ascension to the divine in ancient Mesopotamia, takes on new life in this installation. Fabián Ñíguez, the designer behind this space, explains that the symbol now reflects our search for a deeper connection to nature and sustainability. In a world where contemporary design often feels disconnected from its roots, Zigurat emerges as a beacon, reminding us of the importance of honoring our cultural heritage as we look to the future.

What’s truly remarkable about this installation is how it transforms a shipping container into a boundless sensory space. Through ingenious design and the use of Neolith’s sintered stone surfaces, visitors are invited to transcend physical limitations. The dialogue between space and light creates an experience of deep contemplation, where every corner invites a sensory exploration that goes beyond the physical.

One of Zigurat’s best-kept secrets is the lighting. Ñíguez has designed a play of light that not only illuminates but interacts with Neolith surfaces, producing visual effects that enhance textures and create a mystical atmosphere. Neutral lighting becomes a silent guide for visitors, evoking wonder and reverence with every step.

As you step into Zigurat, you are wrapped in an atmosphere of calm and reflection. The interplay of light and shadow, along with a subtle smoke effect, invites contemplation on the passage of time and spirituality. This is a space that aims not just to dazzle visually but to offer a refuge for introspection, where each visitor can connect with their emotions in the presence of reimagined monumentality.

The installation seamlessly weaves together past and present through architectural forms evoking ancient ziggurats, reinterpreted with high-tech materials like Neolith sintered stone. This contrast between the exterior's modernity and the interior's richness highlights the duality of time, reminding us that innovation can and should walk hand in hand with our historical roots.

In an era where sustainability stands as an essential pillar in our society, the Zigurat installation emerges as a clear statement of responsible, conscious design. Using Neolith sintered stone along with a recycled shipping container as the base structure for ADN Fórum, this work of art goes beyond aesthetics to become a symbol of environmental awareness.

Zigurat invites us not only to immerse ourselves in a timeless sensory experience but also to reflect on the collective responsibility of designers and consumers in building a more sustainable future. This choice of materials and structure exemplifies reuse and respect for the environment, minimizing environmental impact while celebrating a commitment that unites design with the planet’s well-being.

Zigurat is more than an installation; it’s a call to action, an invitation to rediscover the value of history and nature within contemporary design. At ADN Fórum 2024, Neolith and Fabián Ñíguez remind us that each design choice holds the power to transcend time and space, connecting people with their past while moving toward a more conscious and harmonious future. This immersive experience testifies that design can be both an art form and an act of responsibility, inviting us all to be part of this evolution.
