MOTOElastico
Architecture Firm Seoul / South Korea

MOTOElastico is an orbiting Space Lab founded in Seoul by Simone Carena (Founder) and Marco Bruno (Co-Founder) and currently working on buildings, interiors, exhibitions, public design, products and urban research.
Born and educated in Italy, specialized in California and rooted in South Korea since 2001, in all its projects MOTOElastico is using irony to critically challenge and playfully celebrate local customs and behaviors.
The goal is to explore local cultures through the unexpected combination of original ingredients. Its design process is similar to the one used by Dub DJs: enhancing rhythms and underlying features of existing songs, with the purpose of generating new yet familiar design tunes.
MOTOElastico received several design awards and was invited to present its projects in prestigious international exhibitions among which: Anyang Public Art Project, Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, Italian Pavilion at the Venice Art Biennale, Korean Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale (Golden Lion), Marrakech Art Biennale, Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, the Bi-City Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism of Shenzhen and the Gwangju Design Biennale.
