Rooms – Novel Living Concepts Presents Interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan Milan 2016: a hollow head-shaped chamber by Fabio Novembre and a geometrically decorated "prison" by Alessandro Mendini are presented as conceptual interior spaces at the Rooms – Novel Living Concepts show (+ slideshow). The exhibition is part of the XXI Triennale di Milano – a citywide series of art, design, architecture, fashion, film, communication and society events. Working on the premise that people spend most of their lives inside houses, and therefore exist in designed spaces, curator Beppe Finessi set out to reassess the importance of interior architecture in the midst of the "digital revolution". The Rooms – Novel living concepts show opened with an introductory space, offering context to the issues explored in the exhibition Eleven Italy-based designers and studios were invited to create an interior living space "for today and tomorrow" in response. http://www.dezeen.com/2016/04/22/rooms-novel-living-concepts-exhibition-interiors-triennale-milan-design-week/ Page 1 of 15 Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM Each of the 11 rooms relates to an influential book – or several books – written in the last 30 years by critics, while 11 essays by philosopher Francesco M Cataluccio also accompany the show to "enable the architects involved to dialogue with the great thinkers of our time". The show opens with an introductory space, offering historical context to the issues and themes explored in the exhibition. Fifty architectural designs for Italian interiors are presented, ranging from the 1920s to the present day. Beyond, the 11 installations by "established masters and young designers" are showcased. http://www.dezeen.com/2016/04/22/rooms-novel-living-concepts-exhibition-interiors-triennale-milan-design-week/ Page 2 of 15 Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM Alessandro Mendini created a geometrically decorated cell-like room called My Prisons Architect and designer Alessandro Mendini created a geometrically decorated cell-like room for his installation. Described as a "sort-of prison", mirrors and lights produce a disorientating effect for visitors. "For a long time, forever in fact, I have felt as though I were living shut inside a prison," said Mendini. "Serving a life sentence for the crime of 'ornamentation'." "My ideas, my style, my atmosphere, my mirage: everything is in there," he continued. "It is the isolation cell inside a romantic and privileged Alcatraz." http://www.dezeen.com/2016/04/22/rooms-novel-living-concepts-exhibition-interiors-triennale-milan-design-week/ Page 3 of 15 Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM Carlo Ratti Associati exhibited Lift-Bit, the "world's first Internet of Things sofa" Carlo Ratti Associati produced the "world's first Internet of Things sofa" for its exhibit. The Lift-Bit is a modular seating system that can be adjusted with an app or hand gestures into different configurations. Each stool can double or halve in height, adapting to new forms, and even gets "bored" and begins shape-shifting on its own when not in use. "We're exploring how the Internet of Things enters the physical space," Carlo Ratti told Dezeen. "All the elements talk to each other and you combine them just by putting them next to each other. You can control them digitally with your iPhone." http://www.dezeen.com/2016/04/22/rooms-novel-living-concepts-exhibition-interiors-triennale-milan-design-week/ Page 4 of 15 Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM Intro by Fabio Novembre was designed to resemble a human head Fabio Novembre's spherical installation was designed to resemble a human head – a common theme in his furniture and interiors projects. The mirrored exterior features a single entrance and two "golden vestal virgins" positioned either side of the doorway. Inside, the bedroom features leather fittings and components detailed to look like ears. The door appears takes on the form of a mouth when visitors sit down inside, while eye- like features are included above. "If you think about it, an egg is like a solidified uterus, and what appears to be the great difference between oviparous and viviparous species is simply a matter of the consistency of the outer membrane," explained Fabio Novembre. "If we then tried to plunder our remotest amniotic memories, it would be easy to http://www.dezeen.com/2016/04/22/rooms-novel-living-concepts-exhibition-interiors-triennale-milan-design-week/ Page 5 of 15 Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM demonstrate that our first perception of space occurred while we were floating about in the warm hollow of an ovoid form and that every concept of domesticity is geared to recreating that condition." Andrea Anastasio's Resonances identified the furnishings essential to daily life for his room Andrea Anastasio identified the furnishings essential to daily life for his room. A table and bed are arranged inside while a semi-transparent curtain was hung across them. "While substantially altering the furniture, splitting it did not preclude its functionality, while sharpening its symbolic/narrative properties," said Anastasio. http://www.dezeen.com/2016/04/22/rooms-novel-living-concepts-exhibition-interiors-triennale-milan-design-week/ Page 6 of 15 Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM Manolo De Giorgi's Round and Round room explored the way people move through the spaces they live in Manolo De Giorgi's Round and Round room explores the way people move through the spaces they inhabit. Walls are lined up against each other in strips, with open space between them to create a "fluid space" that dispenses with the "rigid, tile-like juxtaposition of rooms". http://www.dezeen.com/2016/04/22/rooms-novel-living-concepts-exhibition-interiors-triennale-milan-design-week/ Page 7 of 15 Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM Duilio Forte's Ursos installation is a living space created inside a zoomorphic shape Duilio Forte's installation is a living space created inside a zoomorphic shape – in this case a bear. The entrance forms the head and leads to the main room, or body. This room is split into two levels, with two small bathrooms below and a bed above. The full-height central space features a long table and a kitchen. http://www.dezeen.com/2016/04/22/rooms-novel-living-concepts-exhibition-interiors-triennale-milan-design-week/ Page 8 of 15 Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM Marta Laudani and Marco Romanelli's considered the impact of families living together for a long time in The Absence of Presence Marta Laudani and Marco Romanelli's The Absence of Presence considers the impact of families living together for longer periods of time. In such a scenario privacy becomes ever more important. The installation therefore proposes empty spaces dedicated to "lone" activities such as reading, getting undressed or even eating. "This is a project that does not simply aesthetically valorise the concept of emptiness, but is driven by different 'contemporary family' structures," explained the designers. "Families made up of individuals all of whom have reached adulthood but who, out of necessity, continue to live together." "Within these nuclei, each person needs to create their own intimacy, their own story, their http://www.dezeen.com/2016/04/22/rooms-novel-living-concepts-exhibition-interiors-triennale-milan-design-week/ Page 9 of 15 Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM own 'one-man tent'", they added.

"The viewer gradually sees the threshold between interior and exterior become defined and include the role of architecture in the mediation between landscape, domestic space and objects," said Librizzi. http://www.dezeen.com/2016/04/22/rooms-novel-living-concepts-exhibition-interiors-triennale-milan-design-week/ Page 11 of 15 Rooms – Novel Living Concepts presents interiors in Milan 4/29/16, 12:38 PM Umberto Riva simple cabin design is called La petite chambre Umberto Riva's installation explores "discretion as a survival strategy".

  • Kartell Célèbre L'icône De La Marque, Créée Par Anna Castelli Ferrieri
    Kartell célèbre l’icône de la marque, créée par Anna Castelli Ferrieri Un classique intemporel, depuis toujours tourné vers le futur : Componibili a 50 ans et Kartell dédie un événement spécial à cette icône intemporelle, créée par Anna Castelli Ferrieri et devenue immédiatement un succès commercial durable de la marque. Pour célébrer cet anniversaire, il a été demandé à des designers, des conservateurs, des critiques et des intellectuels du monde entier d’apporter leur propre contribution personnelle. À l›occasion de l›ouverture du « Salone del Mobile 2017 », la boutique phare de Milan, située Via Turati, est transformée en exposition débutant le mardi 4 avril et s’achevant le 9 avril. L’histoire des Componibili fait une place à l’objet dans son évolution au fi l des décennies, en présentant les produits de manière théâtrale dans toutes leurs couleurs et hauteurs, grâce à un grand nombre d’images, de dessins d’archives et de documents qui les accompagnent. L’acteur principal de l’exposition, qui va devenir un modèle d’exposition transportable applicable dans d’autres musées et lieux d’exposition internationaux de prestige, est par conséquent le produit lui-même, dans sa déclinaison passée et actuelle. « L’anniversaire des Componibili d’Anna Castelli Ferrieri, est un événement très spécial, comportant de nombreuses signifi cations dans la mesure où il relate les origines et les racines de Kartell et où il a marqué l’histoire du design par sa dimension de nouveauté absolue, devenant une icône des produits industriels, a déclaré Claudio Luti, président de Kartell. Les Componibili sont pour moi un «objet» familial, ils ont toujours fait partie de ma «vie».

Due fotografi, un caravan e un anno a disposizione per raccontare il volto nascosto e inaspettato del Giappone. L’ultima tendenza? Dare vita a locali e negozi alla moda mantenendo le insegne storiche della vecchia Milano.

Una tappa importante per chi ci ha lavorato con passione e per chi ci ha investito tanto. Ho scritto volu- tamente “progetto” perché pensare, costruire e far crescere un prodotto editoriale oggi è quanto di più “progettuale” si possa pensare. La passione, i sogni e lo slancio che tutti i giorni ci spingono ad andare oltre le difficoltà a un certo punto devono necessariamente lasciare spazio alla fredda legge dei numeri. Un progetto è prima di tutto una visione, ma per rimanere tale e non dissolversi come neve al sole deve avere lo sguardo lungo e le basi solide. Io credo fortemente che per Club Milano sia così. Da parte nostra abbiamo cercato di raccontare la città che ci ospita e che amiamo con lo spirito a volte di un cronista, a volte di un viaggiatore curioso. Milano è molto più dinamica e multiforme di quanto appaia a chi ci vive e ne è in parte assuefatto.
