Valerio Olgiati, Perm Museum XXI, Perm, Russia. Rendering: Total Real

This exhibition includes a series of spectacular plaster t33 models in addition to photographs and renderings, which show the thematic issues of Olgiati's work. Also included are key images, described as his personal musée imaginaire, providing insights into the influences and decisive stages of his design process. The exhibition is timed to celebrate the publishing of the first scholarly monograph on Valerio Olgiati, designed by Dino Simonett and published by Walter Konig.
