CARLO MOLLINO
See on Map
September 04 2021 -> November 07 2021
*
The exhibition is based on an analysis of these furnishings for the Casa Albonico, a reinterpretation of the work of Mollino, a key figure in the world of twentieth-century design and architecture, highlights a series of aspects that have not yet been sufficiently examined. These range from his obsession with form and his links with the second wave of Futurism, through to his interest in craftsmanship, interior design, engineering, physics and aerodynamics. Two fundamental aspects of Carlo Mollino’s work, which the furnishings for the Casa Albonico allow us to explore, are the artisanal manufacture of his furniture and his cooperation with other artists.

The theme of the exhibition moves away from crafts ‘of humans, by humans, and for humans’ and seeks horizontal and equal relationships between the numerous agents involved in crafting.
The exhibition seeks to serve as an opportunity to reflect on both the attitude of crafts and social practices through fundamental introspection on humans that can be sympathized by all the people who are living and suffering in this time of a pandemic crisis.

September 05 2021 -> September 10 2021
*
With 30 Compasso d’Oro award-winning chairs and another more than 100 having netted honourable mentions, Take Your Seat / Prendi Posizione, curated by Nina Bassoli, evidences that chairs bear witness to and are the political, social and cultural expression of their times.

The chair is the star of the show. Or rather, more than 130 chairs are. It's a unique narrative journey, from 1954 to the present day, illustrating just how design, through the changing forms (but not only) of the chair has channelled the great changes in society, responding to the new cultural paradigms with inventions, vocabularies and totally original content.
