On the occasion of the centenary of Giancarlo Iliprandi’s birth, this exhibition offers an in-depth exploration of the Milanese designer’s work, shedding light on his rich, cultured, and still-relevant design universe. Drawing on materials from historical archives and private collections, the show highlights Iliprandi’s experimental and interdisciplinary approach to graphic design, an approach that skillfully integrates form, function, and communication.

The exhibition layout, designed by Lissoni & Partners, unfolds in thematic sections that trace the key trajectories of his career. It begins with his education, where painting, photography, set design, and architecture all converge in his early projects, and continues through his work in communication and product design, where graphics and industrial design merge in a continuous dialogue. For Iliprandi, to communicate an object means to participate in its very design process.

Curated by Monica Fumagalli Iliprandi and Giovanni Baule
