Born into a design-enriched environment, Kouros Maghsoudi, a graduate in sustainable architecture and urban design as well as a self-taught multidisciplinary artist and designer, delves into the realms of future cultures and personal indulgence through his creations. His works mirror his Persian roots and postmodern influences, with a particular focus on themes of hedonism, pleasure, and human desire. Maghsoudi's approach uniquely blends his rich cultural background with a modernist vision, pushing the boundaries of contemporary furniture design.

Ayanegui, complementing Kouros's vision, presented an exclusive collection that pushed the boundaries of traditional fashion, creating garments that appeared eternally drenched, adding a layer of intrigue and sensuality. The event transformed the gallery space into a dynamic scene alive with live models, embodying the themes of liberation, opulence, and self-indulgence that both designers advocate. The immersive experience was heightened by live music and mezcal cocktails, creating an atmosphere of hedonism and pleasure that captivated visitors.
