NEW MUSEUM OF DESIGN AT TRIENNALE OF MILAN: FROM THEMATIC TO PERMANENT MUSEUM

Posted by: Gisella Borioli
The Triennale, with Stefano Boeri as chairman, never stops surprising with its increasingly interesting activity. After a long period of design annual theme exhibitions curated by Silvana Annicchiarico, it is now hosting a more classic and permanent form of exhibition. At the same time as the not-to-be-missed Broken Nature exhibition curated by Paola Antonelli, the Museum of Design curated by Joseph Grima, is now located, filter-free on the ground floor. A way to respond to a basic demand of culture and knowledge - in connection with the museum of ADI and the regional companies museums - and to ensure visibility to the Triennale’s heritage with unique pieces by great masters. Finding domestic objects, that quietly entered our houses such as Valentine writing machine by Sottsass, the inflatable armchair by Zanotta, the unfailing foldable chair by Plia, up to the break with respectability and to modernism of furniture by Memphis, is like opening a memory scrapbook. A basic set-up, a likewise simple connection to publishings and facts of the time, from 1950 to 1980. A nostalgic itinerary for those who lived those years, a cultural promenade for students and young amateurs.
