For Milan Design Week 2026, from April 20 to 24, Park’s headquarters in the heart of the Porta Venezia Design District becomes The Meanwhile Club: an installation conceived as a temporary club and listening room, where architecture and sound converge.
Rooted in an in-depth exploration of meanwhile uses and adaptive reuse strategies, the project inhabits the suspended time between one use and another, turning the space into an ecosystem in constant transformation. The installation takes shape through an archaeology of materials drawn from the historical archives of WAY, where fragments from past setups are sampled and layered, giving new life to elements that retain traces of their previous existence.
For five days, The Meanwhile Club will be activated by a series of site-specific DJ sets curated by Le Cannibale, creating an immersive experience at the intersection of spatial research and club culture.
