Your guide to Design
in Milan, everyday.

Armando Milani's graphic art on show at the new Piranesi Doodle Gallery: 40 posters addressing social, environmental and denunciation issues.

The exhibition can be visited from Monday to Friday from 17:30 to 19:30.
 

The Galleria Milano Foundation opens. The Foundation has a dual purpose: on the one hand, the protection and enhancement of the artistic and cultural heritage of the historic Galleria Milano; on the other, the promotion of contemporary research. The inaugural exhibition, with vernissage on Monday 18 March, will be dedicated to a project born from the dialogue between the Russian architect-artist Alexander Brodsky and his son Sasha Brodsky, a visual artist, printmaker and musician who lives and works in Brooklyn.

The exhibition entitled “ORIGIN of SIMPLICITY. 20 Visions of Japanese Design” is a transversal overview through design and craftsmanship in order to understand the origins of the very concept of simplicity, which can be interpretated as emptiness (ku), space or silence (ma), sometimes readable as poverty (wabi) and consumption linked to use over time (sabi), and on other occasions as asymmetry, non-definition and imperfection: all concepts rooted in diverse philosophical schools of thought belonging to this culture ranging from Zen Buddhism to Shinto animist thought and almost the opposite of Western rationality.

The works developed specifically for this exhibition include a series of furniture and light objects that explore themes of personal identity and collective memory. The works critically address the canons of Modernism, highlighting its gendered nature and rootedness in a conservative conception of masculinity.

"From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana" presents the fashion house's unique creations on display for the first time. An open love letter to Italian culture, the inspiration of Dolce&Gabbana's spirit since its origins, tracing the extraordinary creative process of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana: from the heart, from which ideas spring, to the hands, the instrument through which they take shape. The exhibition will celebrate the brand as a symbol of Italian style through the dream of Haute Couture, and will explore its unconventional approach to the world of luxury: elegant, sensual and unique, but at the same time fun, irreverent and revolutionary.

In anticipation of Inga Sempé's exhibition La casa imperfetta (The Imperfect House), Triennale Milano presents a meeting with Inga Sempé and Paolo Ulian on the constants of the designer's profession: research, innovation, the study of materials, the relationship with clients and manufacturers, the logic of service, and the desire to respond to a rounded idea of function.
In dialogue with the designers there will also be Chiara Novello and Alessia Pessano, owners of the A/C studio, who will design the exhibition La casa imperfetta (The Imperfect House), curated by Marco Sammicheli, Director of the Triennale Milano Italian Design Museum and moderator of the meeting.
From 16 April, the exhibition will present Sempé's recent work to the public and will stage projects, objects and drawings in a domestic scenario designed by Studio A/C together with Inga Sempé.

The Museum of Italian Design celebrates the centenary of Triennale Milano with a new path that starts from the foundation of the institution in 1923 and ends with the development of technological, material and social research that has transformed the identity, aesthetics and main features of design Italian. The exhibition itinerary presents over 300 objects from the permanent collection which, when related to the history of the institution, tell the story of Italian design through the reconstruction of some domestic interiors. A journey that culminates in the Design Platform, a space that hosts temporary exhibitions of young designers and new forms.

The Museum of Italian Design is a Permanent Exhibition of Triennale MIlano
