Design is a state of mind

In 2011 Martino Gamper (Merano 1971) designed the space on the ground floor of Museion: Passage. And now he will be returning to Museion as curator of the exhibition “design is a state of mind”.

The show is presented in cooperation with the Serpentine Galleries in London (05/03/14 – 21/04/14) and the Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli, Turin (24/10/14 – 01/03/2015).
Design is a state of mind will present a landscape of shelving systems, telling the story of design objects and their impact on our lives. An extensive display of shelving systems from the 1930s to the present day will form the backbone of the exhibition. Ranging from historic design classics and one-off pieces, to industrial, utilitarian, contemporary and newly commissioned work, the exhibition will include designs by Gaetano Pesce, Ettore Sottsass, Ercol, Giò Ponti and IKEA.
