In recent years, interior design has evolved into a more emotional and sensory dimension. It is no longer just about choosing furniture, color palettes, or materials that go well together, but about creating experiences that envelop the user, stimulate their senses, and foster a deep connection with their surroundings. At the 2025 edition of MIAD – Madrid Inside Art & Design, this vision came to life through a bold focus on immersive spaces—true installations that redefine the way we inhabit and feel a space.

Technology, Light, and Sound: A New Sensory Triad

One of the key factors in crafting an immersive space is the intentional use of technology, lighting, and acoustics. When these three elements are integrated with sensitivity and artistic intent, they have the power to completely transform how a space is perceived.

This was clearly demonstrated at MIAD 2025 in installations such as Aspen by Global TV in collaboration with Altelier Studio, a concept that reimagines the home cinema through a warm, organic, and tech-forward lens. The space features an artificial fireplace that emits real heat and a backlit ceiling that simulates the open sky, creating an intimate and richly layered sensory atmosphere. Inspired by the mountain lodges of Aspen, this installation doesn’t aim to replicate a traditional cinema, but rather invites visitors to immerse themselves in a cinematic experience that also evokes comfort, nature, and emotional refuge.

On the other hand, the Satélite installation by Ecocero and designer Noé Prades placed acoustics at the very core of its concept. The space explores how sound—or its absence—can alter the perception of a place, generating sensations of calm, surprise, or disorientation. With suspended acoustic panels, pinpoint lighting, and a visual language that evokes the weightlessness of outer space, Prades creates a floating experience where visitors feel suspended in a serene, introspective environment—completely disconnected from external noise. As the author described it, it’s a place to “listen to silence.”
