Described by its designer as \u2018a playground not only for kids, but also for adults,\u2019 this soft, colorful landscape unfolds as an all-day environment with yoga sessions, coffee, and a shifting atmosphere that transforms after dark through light. Rooted in the tactile logic of modeling clay, the installation translates \u0160koda\u2019s design language into a participatory landscape where visitors are invited to explore, pause, and engage with the brand.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The vehicle showcase project expands into a layered environment where physical and digital elements blend. At its center sits the still-camouflaged \u0160koda Epiq alongside its sculptural counterpart, the EpiQ sculpt. Together, they anchor a scenography of oversized, brightly colored forms that echo hand-shaped clay, set against the baroque architecture of the courtyard.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1187627 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"inflatable clay-like landscape by ulises studio fills palazzo del senato in milan with color - 1\" width=\"818\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/inflatable-clay-landscape-ulises-studio-palazzo-senato-milan-color-skoda-design-week-2026-designboom.jpeg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>images courtesy of \u0160koda Auto, unless stated otherwise<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ooooh, that\u2019s EpiQ!: a living playground by \u0160koda<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition follows a sequence of zones. An open atrium hosts relaxation areas and informal gathering points, while a digital corner immerses visitors in LED-driven narratives around the Epiq and \u0160koda\u2019s evolving identity. Elsewhere, an open auditorium and a family-oriented area extend the experience beyond display into participation. Even the brand\u2019s \u0160koda Elroq is repurposed as a mobile caf\u00e9, folding hospitality into the installation\u2019s logic.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the physical setup, the project operates as a narrative platform for the upcoming Epiq. The recurring slogan \u2018Ooooh, that\u2019s EpiQ!\u2019 leans into a sense of discovery, aligning with the exhibition\u2019s emphasis on curiosity and open-ended interaction. By situating itself within one of Milan\u2019s most historic venues, \u0160koda\u2019s installation softens the setting through color, tactility, and informal programming. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulises.studio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Valencia-based<\/a> Ulises Studio\u2019s environment feels closer to a temporary playground than a conventional exhibition, where the boundaries between visitor, object, and environment remain deliberately loose.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1187625 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"inflatable clay-like landscape by ulises studio fills palazzo del senato in milan with color -
