Triennale Design Museum and Bosa present ANIMAlità, an exhibition by Silvana Annicchiarico, with unseen works by Sam Baron, Matteo Cibic, GamFratesi, Jaime Hayon, Sebastian Herkner, Lanzavecchia+Wai, Minale-Maeda, Elena Salmistraro, Ionna Vautrin and Nika Zupanc, who were asked to create for the occasion a collection of apotropaic, playful and animist pieces of pottery playing with the subject of animal nature, as much literally as metaphorically and creatively.

The project is part of a decade-long process of research that started with the cycle of exhibitions Le parole e le cose, created and curated by Silvana Annicchiarico, exploring the relations between names and designer items: three focuses on items with women’s names, items with animal names and shapes, and items with place names, respectively.
