HENGE TAKES CENTRE STAGE AT VOCLA
VOCLA, founded by Alcova, is an immersive experience that comes to life exclusively at night, blending a curated design exhibition with a vibrant social meeting place.
7 April 2025
Henge plays a key role in VOCLA — an innovative platform for design experimentation and social interaction during Milan Design Week. As a brand synonymous with craftsmanship and material innovation, Henge has created the entire lounge area, shaping the heart of the VOCLA experience with its distinctive aesthetic and meticulous attention to detail.
Designed by Ugo Cacciatori, the central bar—entirely crafted by Henge—acts both as an exhibition centrepiece and a dynamic social hub. This striking installation is enriched with some of Henge’s most iconic creations, along with bespoke pieces made specifically for the space, including the Air Bar, the Diapason (a nine-metre-long bookcase), Re-Bond sofas upholstered in a fabric selected in collaboration with The Attico, Spyder 80 lighting, and Mushroom coffee tables. Together, these elements create a refined and welcoming atmosphere that embodies Henge’s commitment to contemporary luxury and artisanal excellence.
VOCLA, conceived by Alcova, is an immersive nighttime experience that unites a curated design showcase with a social gathering space. Henge’s contribution plays a vital role in transforming Milan’s historic former slaughterhouse into a dynamic environment where design is not just observed, but fully experienced.
Ends.
