From Piazza del Duomo to Piazza San Fedele, from Triennale to Palazzo Reale, to the city’s historic homes, the exhibition is a journey that celebrates the opportunities for dialogue and cultural exchange generated by the design event. Through materials from the Triennale and Salone del Mobile archives, topics such as craftsmanship, the birth of Italian style, reflections on living, ecology and the finiteness of resources are explored.
“Carlo Mollino. Hyperformal Allusions”, curated by Marco Sammicheli, presents furniture designed between 1944 and 1946 by the Italian architect and designer for Casa Albonico in Turin. The exhibition reinterprets the designer’s work, highlighting little-known aspects such as his obsession with form, his interest in engineering, physics and aerodynamics, his link with the second wave of Futurism and his collaboration with artists.
The installation project, designed by the studio bunker arc / Carlo Gandolfi – Roberto Molteni, also displays unpublished correspondence and original drawings from the archives of the Politecnico di Torino, and a site-specific installation by artist Corrado Levi, a student of Mollino.
