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...

Today is the war in Ukraine, with its mothers, grandmothers, children evacuated and suddenly thrown into a completely different reality, with only ruins behind them. Yesterday it were the homeless struggling with the pandemic to which we donated 12,000 hard-to-find masks through the Municipality. And again it was the Afghan women, helped to free themselves from the yoke, as much as possible, through the chat ledonnexledonne and the fundraising at Superstudio Più...

Tomorrow it will be other disadvantaged categories: autistic kids, isolated women, women who have been hit in body and soul through the non-profit activities of theFlavioLucchiniArt Museum. The world is continuously wounded. Helping it has become a duty that we gladly fulfill.Tommaso (Borioli, Ceo Superstudio Events), the young nephew who has been working with me for several years in managing the Superstudio also through subsidiaries companies controlled by him, is moving with the turbo towards the future...

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..

Carlo Ratti Associati reveals the latest project connecting the digital world and the architectural world to the natural environment...

The vision of a bike speeding through the trees.... It's not Elliot, the star of Steven Spielberg's masterpiece "E.T." zooming with the alien in the basket through the plant tops of the woods in the San Fernando Valley, but rather the most recent "effort" by CRA - Carlo Ratti Associati: an overhead cycling and walk path supported by more than a thousand trees.
The work, realized in collaboration with Office for Living Architecture (OLA) according to the Baubotanik technique that involves the use of trees as architectural elements in continuous mutation, leads to the Unesco site of Sabbioneta and is integrated with a system of sensors monitoring and processing various parameters such as air quality, growth and health conditions of the trees along with...

Laura Dimitrio has recently published her latest work entitled NON SOLO KIMONO. Edited by Skira this book has been written by a very committed scholar into the study of fashion. A major text with numerous reference points and sources to understand how traditional and then contemporary garments have influenced Italian fashion...

In the 60/70s, I was the Art Director of Vogue Italia, always aiming for the next level, even beyond the fashion world. I was always present at the fashion shows in Rome, Milan, Paris, mainly. In almost every case, I experienced and saw the beginning of and the journey to success of the stylists who later became icons for the fashion of the time. In Paris, I had been following Kenzo, Issey Miyake, Yoshi Yamamoto since their debut on the fashion catwalks. Then, I also became friends with them.
Only after Kenzo hosted me and Giella in Hiseij...

Architecture and design celebrate the desire for green with urban re-qualification projects and futuristic urban rooftop gardens...

The fact that the cultivation of a vegetable garden in the city has become cool is clear for all to see: for years now, there have been a growing number of areas managed by the residents of Milan who want to eat "zero km" food, real self-sufficient spaces in which to grow fruit and vegetables with low environmental impact in which the producer is also the final consumer. The fact that gardening on the terraces and roofs of buildings has become a question of design is evident from the important names in the world of architecture who have been involved in the creation of innovative and functional gardens in the heart of the Lombard metropolis.
And if the Bosco Verticale by Studio Boeri (2009) can be considered the noble "prototype", we must remember that since 2014 the roofs of Superstudio have been the experimental site for one of the first...

The beautiful book NON SOLO KIMONO. HOW JAPAN HAS REVOLVED ITALIAN FASHION by Laura Dimitrio, published by Skira, recounts the interesting four-century-long story of Japanese influence entering into the costume of Italy, starting with the kimono and ending with the new-pop launched by manga. The presentation will take place on April 12th in the atelier of the fashion-art museum FlavioLucchiniArt where the author, Laura Dimitrio, will meet Gisella Borioli who, as a journalist, was the first to support the Japanese "nouvelle Vague" in the 1980s with her cult magazine DONNA...

"My interest in Japanese influences on the Italian fashion began several years ago, during my MA History of Art Dissertation. I chose to study the sketches designed by the Milanese painter Giuseppe Palanti for the costumes of the first performance of Madama Butterfly, which debuted at La Scala in Milan in 1904...

In her most recent book Design Super Show, Gisella Borioli describes how she turned Superstudio into the forefront of contemporary design trends, by following it throughout their evolution. In person, she discusses pre and post-pandemic design and how the pandemic compelled many to rethink their way to approach design...

If someone had asked me two years ago, "where is design going?", I would probably have answered differently. I would have mentioned a frantic, eclectic, fun, trendy, using basic and essential furniture version, designed by renowned architects (like Lissoni, Jasper Morrison, for instance). As well, sided by other designers who stood against the current on the edge of kitsch (think of Philip Starck's dwarfs for Kartell), antropomorphic (like the Nemo chair by Fabio Novembre for Driade), animal-like (Mooi's horse lamp, Stefano Giovannoni's monkey lamp), ironic and iconoclastic objects (Mendini's Proust chair for Cappellini)...
