COSMIC SOUND
Collectible Design Exhibition
Curated by Valentina Guidi Ottobri

Together with Manfredi Moretti and Gallerie Soleille
At Nomade, Ibiza

In collaboration with International Design
September 2026

International Design a new curatorial online-platform spotlighting collectible design pieces and contemporary art, today announces its official launch with its inaugural physical cultural experience presenting the exhibition ‘Cosmic Sound’ at the recently opened Nomade Ibiza from 30 September to 10 October 2026, in collaboration with Soleille Gallery. Curated by Valentina Guidi Ottobri together with Manfredi Moretti and Gabriela Soleille, the exhibition will bring together a collection of unique pieces by international artists and designers exploring the relationship between sound, design, space and emotion. During the eleven-day showcase, Nômade Temple will be transformed into a lived experience.

Visitors to ‘Cosmic Sound’ can expect to find a curation of objects traditionally associated with music culture, reinterpreted as collectible works, including remarkable DJ turntable consoles, high-end sculptural speakers, meticulously engineered sound systems, vinyl-first furnishings and site-specific installations. All these aim to contemplate the intersection of craftsmanship, technology, materiality and performance in relation to the way we experience music today. International Design’s concept for ‘Cosmic Sound’ ties directly back to its founders Manfredi Moretti and Jules Guérard's own histories as international DJs, making music-driven, immersive programming a natural fit for how they want collectible design to be experienced not as isolated pedestal pieces, but as part of a wider cultural atmosphere shaped by architecture, hospitality, sound and the people moving through the space.

By shifting attention from sound as an intangible medium to the objects that produce, carry and frame it, ‘Cosmic Sound’ positions audio equipment within the language of collectible design, where engineering becomes craft, function becomes form and listening becomes a spatial and aesthetic experience. A collection of works that explores each artist and designer distinct perspective on the theme. Jacob Egeberg reimagines the DJ console not merely as a functional interface, but as a site of natural metamorphosis. At the center of his exploration is a 'sonic rock' a raw, organic element transformed into a sculpted object that bridges the geological and the technological. The console becomes a tactile monument where sound emerges from the earth, turning a primordial mass into a vessel for creative fantasy.
