CoDe is a design museum located on board a cruise ship. The museum presents 470 exhibits of Italian design from the 1930s to the present, including furnishings, fashion items and everyday objects. CoDe covers 400 square meters in a high traffic area between two entertainment venues. The layout is built around a walking path portal formed by a series of stainless steel arches lit from the inside. Guests can cross the space as a corridor or step aside to view the displays on each side, which encourages repeated visits.
