support the team at the London Design Biennale, especially in this landmark year as they mark their 70th anniversary. He explained that what began as a small venture in traditional cement tile manufacturing has grown steadily into a thriving company with over 200 dedicated employees and two state-of-the-art facilities in \u0126al Far and Lija. He said that Halmann\u2019s involvement in this project goes beyond sponsorship, it&#8217;s about championing creativity, fostering collaboration, and showcasing their commitment to sustainability by supplying their own reconstituted stone for the installation.<\/p><p>The\u00a0Malta Pavilion presented at Somerset House between the 5th and 29th of June will feature a monumental recreation of the team\u2019s proposal. Delivered within sedimentary layers of the limestone material developed by Halmann Vella, the installation will showcase how 128 souls will be stored. Rather than fitting into an urn, the project proposes that after death, each body becomes part of one large, communal URNA. This inverts the established methods of bodily disposition (primarily burial), creating a whole rather than separate parts. The pavilion will include a publication of visual and written research together with a film which speculates on the possible future of rituals around URNA. The team will similarly present the project in Malta for audiences to witness the same installation first-hand.<\/p><p>The project is context-derived; imagined to be out of limestone and positioned within disused Maltese quarries. In its universality, however, the concept behind URNA will be able to adapt to different cultures, landscapes and materials so that one can imagine completely different rituals, in different places, built on the same foundation. \u201cDesign,\u201d said curator Andrew Borg Wirth, \u201cneeds to deliver internal desires within external forces which is the underpinning thought behind the theme chosen for this year\u2019s Biennale by Artistic Director Samuel Ross \u2014 Surface Reflections.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p>For the project, the team is supported by main sponsor Halmann Vella, using a new reconstituted stone material using limestone dust from Malta. In this way the team is bridging contemporary technological advancement from Malta, with urgent political and cultural themes. The team will be showcasing research into limestone landscapes and places of burial from across the Mediterranean.<\/p><p>URNA is already receiving support from Halmann Vella, the Deloitte Foundation,\u00a0Visit Malta, the Embassies of France and the United States of America, Dr Jeannine Rizzo and the University of Malta. The team is looking for support from patrons, organisations and institutions in order to continue building on the project\u2019s success.<\/p><p>For this project, a multinational team\u2014not only with strong Maltese roots, but also Mediterranean foundations\u2014has been compiled. The team is constructed as a constellation of artists, designers, curators, architects and art directors, in dialogue with intrinsically Maltese elements that fuel the design process. Mediterranean sentiments from Malta, Cyprus and France meet with more global design processes in London and the United States in order to create universal outputs.<\/p><p>\u2014<\/p><p>Andrew Borg Wirth (b.1993) is a curator and architect with an interdisciplinary practice interrogating political themes through collaborative projects with artists, collectives, architects and organisations. He curates exhibitions and site-specific projects both in Malta and overseas.<\/p><p>Anthony Bonnici (b.1990, Malta) studied architecture in the UK and Switzerland, then led major projects worldwide at Valerio Olgiati&#8217;s office.

This proposal perfectly exemplifies and merges design innovation and creativity. It is bold, stimulating and far-reaching, beyond the idea of simply &#8220;art&#8221;. It is a design for the community and challenges the status quo on interment, while offering a solution that is both poetic, intellectually stimulating and environmentally engaging. It should serve as the starting point for much discussion.<\/p><p>URNA introduces a new ritual for handling human remains, anticipating the adoption of cremation in the Maltese Islands and envisioning it as a culturally significant process. The project redefines the columbarium, ossuary, and wake to re-establish death as a significant ceremony, unburdened by unnecessary signifiers.<\/p><p>The collaboration of architects, designers, curators, and art directors has devised a geometrical construction using large, nondescript boulders that accumulate over time and form a language of their own. These spherical modules, universal in shape, incorporate cremated remains, embodying the individual\u2019s connection to a broader cosmic reality and evolving through tactile interventions that invite various cultural interpretations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b69fcf7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b69fcf7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2485\" height=\"1864\" src=\"https:\/\/artscouncilmalta.gov.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1718895831.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-3841\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artscouncilmalta.gov.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1718895831.png 2485w, https:\/\/artscouncilmalta.gov.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1718895831-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/artscouncilmalta.gov.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1718895831-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/artscouncilmalta.gov.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1718895831-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/artscouncilmalta.gov.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1718895831-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/artscouncilmalta.gov.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1718895831-2048x1536.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2485px) 100vw, 2485px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-529f779 fund-1st e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"529f779\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e1eea2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8e1eea2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15e1579 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"15e1579\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-356ed55 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-laptop__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"356ed55\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Malta\u2019s participation at the London Design Biennale<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-364ea82 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"364ea82\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f358d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f358d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Arts Council Malta, under the auspices of the Ministry for National Heritage, the Arts and Local Government, has been entrusted to act as the Commissioner and the Contracting Authority of Malta\u2019s participation at the London Design Biennale in 2025.

The network of participant nations and regions will gain international recognition and profile, forge links with a new generation of global leaders and creators and be part of a global conversation about design\u2019s socioeconomic role in our collective future. The audience includes the international design community, business leaders, journalists, opinion formers, diplomats and trade officials, and also provides a highly accessible way to appreciate the power of design for those outside of the creative sector. June is at the centre of London\u2019s cultural calendar, and as such, the Biennale is well placed to benefit from this.

It is encouraged that participating countries foster new business relationships and creative partnerships during the event. Many installations from the 2016, 2018, 2021 and 2023 Biennales established a legacy for participants with some designs exhibited at subsequent international exhibitions or acquired by national collections. The Biennale is also an opportunity for each project&#8217;s partners and sponsors to engage with the Biennale community and London\u2019s design landscape to establish new connections in the UK and abroad.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-9285\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"6\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-9285\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><h4 class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> What opportunities are there to raise awareness for the project? <\/h4><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-9285\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2e3b88 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d2e3b88\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-647c312 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"647c312\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div align=\"justify\"><div align=\"justify\">The London Design Biennale\u2019s international communication campaign reaches a wide global audience, through their newsletter, social media, website, advertising and comprehensive media coverage.
