Maika Palazuelos, designer and director, founded Panorammma during the period of confinement as an open and permeable platform for design exploration. With an artistic background, she initially conceived the project as an extension of her personal practice.
Panorammma explores expressive domestic objects as a way of extending and disrupting everyday narratives. These objects act as “Trojan horses” for artistic discourse, reframing the mundane and opening up alternative ways of experiencing daily life. The studio’s practice moves across disciplines, engaging with contemporary sensibilities such as the alienation of everyday existence, the expanding “pathology of the concrete” and the role of abstraction within the social sphere. It draws on past visions of the future and the construction of memory, building new visual narratives through personal and collective experience.
Rather than existing as static art objects, Panorammma’s designs are intended to be lived with and used. They require active engagement, sitting, eating, drinking, switching on and off, touching and inhabiting, allowing them to shape and be shaped by daily rituals. Through this interaction, the objects generate subtle ruptures in the domestic space, where imagination enters reality and ordinary environments become stages for parallel fictions. In this sense, they function as performative “pseudo-props” turning domestic space into a scenography of alternative narratives and quiet resistance to the ordinary.
