This October, Nômade Temple Ibiza becomes home to Cosmic Sound, the inaugural physical exhibition by International Design, presented in collaboration with Soleille Gallery. Across ten days, Cosmic Sound brings together collectible design, contemporary art, music and wellness through a curated programme of exhibitions, DJ sets, sound experiences, wellness rituals and cultural gatherings, from the opening night to the closing celebration.
cosmic sound
AN IMMERSIVE EXHIBITION WHERE SOUND BECOMES FORM
30TH SEPTEMBER - 10TH OCTOBER
NÔMADE TEMPLE IBIZA × INTERNATIONAL DESIGN X SOLEILLE GALLERY
THE CURATION
The curation brings together works selected for their ability to move naturally between function, sculpture and cultural expression. Each piece reflects a distinct approach to sound through material, form, craftsmanship and
technical innovation.
Rather than following a single aesthetic language, the selection creates connections between different practices, generations and interpretations of contemporary sound culture.
At the heart of Cosmic Sound is the idea that the objects through which we experience music deserve the same attention as the music itself. Their proportions, surfaces, construction and presence all participate in shaping
the act of listening.
A LIVING ENVIRONMENT
Cosmic Sound is conceived as a living exhibition, where the relationship between the works, the architecture and the people inhabiting the space evolves throughout the residency.
Rather than separating the objects from their surroundings, the exhibition allows them to exist within a real social environment, creating new encounters between design, music and everyday experience.
This continuously shifting environment gives the exhibition a temporal dimension, allowing each visit to reveal a different relationship between object, space and audience.
THE PROGRAMME
Throughout the exhibition, a series of carefully curated moments will bring the space to life, creating new encounters between sound, design and the people experiencing them.
Curated by Nômade Temple Ibiza, the programme will unfold throughout the exhibition’s residency, combining selected music moments and intimate gatherings that bring together artists, designers, collectors and guests.
Further details and individual programme moments will be announced progressively across International Design and its partners’ channels.

PARTICIPANT DESIGNERS
Cosmic Sound brings together an international selection of designers, artists and creative studios whose practices explore sound through collectible design, material experimentation and contemporary culture.
The selection reflects a wide range of approaches, from sculptural furniture and audio objects to immersive installations and site-specific works. Together, these voices create a dialogue between craftsmanship, technology, artistic research and the evolving culture surrounding sound.
From sculptural audio systems and DJ consoles to immersive installations and functional objects, each participant brings a distinct interpretation of how sound can shape form, space and experience.
