Sisan Lee (b. 1995) explores the sculptural possibilities that emerge at the intersection of different times and environments. Drawing on experiences shaped between urban and rural landscapes, as well as the structural thinking developed through spatial design, his work investigates how modernity and primitivism, nature and industry, continuity and change can coexist within a single form. This exploration extends across furniture, objects, and spatial works.

GUCCI ‘Bamboo Encounters’
2025
During Fuorisalone 2025, Gucci unveils Bamboo Encounters, a design-forward exhibition held within the historic Chiostri di San Simpliciano in central Milan. Curated and designed by interdisciplinary agency 2050+ and its founder, a former member of OMA, Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, the show revisits one of the house’s most iconic codes—bamboo—through the lens of seven international artists, architects, and studios. Set in a 16th-century cloister, the project unfolds through a series of installations and a four-part public program exploring the themes of imaginaries, materials, crafts, and narratives. On view till April 13th, visitors encounter bamboo as a living material with cultural, ecological, and emotional resonance. Participating creatives include Nathalie Du Pasquier, Anton Alvarez, Dima Srouji, Kite Club (Liesbeth Abbenes, Maurice Scheltens, Bertjan Pot), Laurids Gallée, Sisan Lee, and the back studio (Eugenio Rossi and Yaazd Contractor), each offering a distinctive take on the potential of bamboo.
