The recent pandemic and awareness of the high rate of pollution in our cities has led us to question the quality of indoor air, and to think about systems to make it healthier.

My Air Pure, an innovative start-up founded in late 2020, has successfully interpreted these new needs and presents at the Superdesign Show 2022 in Milan My Air Pure Space, created by designer Giorgio d'Alessandro...

MyOwnGallery from May 12 to 22 will be the stage of a special exhibition that brings together memories of the past and the present, vintage photos and videos and recent paintings, melancholy and even painful languages and the colors of hope. It is LIFE, a journey between war and peace discovered by Elena Chioccarelli Denis among the memories of her grandfather, an explorer in Africa at the time of the Second World War, and that have greatly influenced her training as an artist. A truly different exhibition in which to be moved, reflect, smile, rediscover the feeling of family and start again...

There are family ties, the happenings of history, the events of the war. There are places, changes, departures, returns, affections. There are pages and pages of diaries and letters found, rearranged, and transcribed. There is an immense baggage - as she recounts - behind the works of VITA. The past seems to translate into awareness, belonging, feeling...

Leaning on green hills in Dubai's finance district, the majestic Museum of the Future has everyone's attention with its spectacular shape, the lightness of the covering, and the contrast between its horizonality and the surrounding vertical skylines. The inside is even more impressive…

This futuristic icon was created by an architect studio led by visionary Killa and Buro Happold using robotic technologies and algorithms. With a height of 77 meters, a surface of 30,000 square meters, and 7 floors, the Museum of the Future is a self-supporting building covered in stainless steel and glass shaped in soft lines. The structure hides many symbolic meanings: its shape resembles the eye, signifying the ability to see; its emptiness symbolizes the greater unknown that remains to be discovered; and its Arabic calligraphy (artwork of outstanding craftsmanship) encapsulates three mottoes by Sheik Mohammed bin...

A unique, ingenious, sophisticated artist, Carla Tolomeo has become famous for her seductive soft sculptures. She will be at the Superdesign Show in June with new exclusive works...

Carla Tolomeo does not use metal marbles or materials "cold" but soft stuffing, she obtains her colors not from paints but from precious fabrics, she creates inviting and mysterious forms where flora, fauna and other imaginative creatures penetrate the space, rising above a cushion on which it is sweet to snuggle. They are sculptures to sit on, or armchairs to use with caution as a work of art. After thousands of exhibitions and infinite successes in galleries and museums, Tolomeo felt the desire to measure herself in the world of design, so apparently distant from herself and to do it in her own way, by placing an exhibition of works of art in the world of design. installation of works specially created at Superstudio..
