Opere di Ettore Sottsass, Studio Job, Patricia Urquiola, Jaime Hayon, Alessandro Mendini, Marcel Wanders, Sandro Chia, Mimmo Paladino, Fabio Novembre

Non esattamente il luogo in cui ci si aspetta di trovare creazioni di architetti e designer famosi, come John Pawson, Richard Meier, Ettore Sottsass, Marcel Wanders e Jaime Hayon! Per aggiungere ulteriore fascino e mistero alla scoperta della collezione permanente, l’edificio che la accoglie è nascosto da un’alta siepe di bambù che ne svela l’esistenza solo quando la si è superata per accedere al giardino antistante, circondato da esemplari di arte topiaria perfettamente curati.

Inspired by a trip to Scandinavia, Patricia Urquiola conceived the “Fjord” chair, which takes its name from the characteristic narrow inlets of that region. With its pedestal base, the chair is Urquiola’s take on the mid-century modern chairs of such designers as the Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. "Patricia Urquiola: Between Craft and Industry" is now on view. 

The bamboo whisks used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies inspired the design of this lamp. Its flexible metal strips can be contracted and expanded to suit the user. See this work and others in "Patricia Urquiola: Between Craft and Industry." 

This inlay is made of marble and other semiprecious stones damaged by the magnitude 5.9 earthquake that hit the Emilia region of Italy in 2012. In commissioning Urquiola to design the inlay, Budri’s intention was “to create something beautiful, to inject life back into something that had been totally destroyed in the space of a few seconds.” See this beautiful work in "Patricia Urquiola: Between Craft and Industry." 

Internationally acclaimed designer Patricia Urquiola creates cool, innovative objects for the home and office. Perhaps more than any other designer working today, she has successfully fused the artisanal and the industrial. Explore her work in "Patricia Urquiola: Between Craft and Industry" opening Nov 19. 

Our upcoming exhibition "Patricia Urquiola: Between Craft and Industry" explores how Urquiola fuses handcraftsmanship with modern materials and technologies. See these amazingly creative designs when the show opens on Nov 19.
