For a couple of years, a lively and innovative gallery has appeared on the international scene with its great artists, with the careful proposal of new ones, with its three venues in Forte dei Marmi and the large gallery in Dubai on Blue Waters artificial island.

For the first time in Milan, in MyOwnGallery’s spaces during the Milan Design Week at Superstudio, it brings two exhibitions, one of which is very special curated by Ettore Mocchetti: “Surprise!

[Tunnel 29] – Design for a Post-Apocalyptic World it’s an exhibition concevied and realized by The Centre for Creativity / Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO). Located in the Discovering section of Superdesign Show 2021, the post-apocalyptic scenario, supposed before the pandemic, becomes a stimulus for designers’ creativity and inventive, transforming itself into a manifesto of new possible solutions.  

The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works (as system) and the way people think (linearly)' anthropologist and psychologist Gregory Bateson wrote this prophetic sentence 1972 book “Steps to an Ecology of Mind”. Starting from a gloomy scenario in which the world is deprived of its resources, the man controlled and limited...

A path exhibition curated by Giulio Cappellini. Starting with the accessory, such as the tents of the Dane Kvadrat. Behind the project there is the creativity of designers like Erik Ole Jørgensen, Patricia Urquiola, Finn Sködt, but also attention to functionality, maintenance and, above all, the environment...

The Discovering section of Superdesign Show, set in the purity of the Gallery space, brings to the fore the thoughts, processes, styles and final products that characterize a “wise” trend of contemporary design. Nature, relationships, storytelling, study, technique and technology, observation are the basis of the presented projects. Creativity turns into an enthusiastic and purposeful energy. 

DISCOVERING has selected exhibitors and projects from different contexts, ranging from architectural studios, to museums, academic experimentation, guided but extremely free to European projects aimed at circularity, passing from the manufacturing companies that combine traditional wisdom, new techniques, the style of young designers and a careful awareness of environmental issues...

The visionary position of Alessi that has made the art of the table and small everyday objects popular tools of culture and pleasure, starting from the famous oil mill by Ettore Sottsass, is once again a forerunner in the numerous collaborations with female designers. Founded in 1921 (one hundred years ago!) it opened its museum in 1998, where objects, projects and documents converge, making its very original story, always avant-garde. Today it also celebrates with this collection of 18/10 steel objects created by eleven famous designers and not: they tell the attention, irony, the quality reserved for everything, that if signed by Alessi, it is never already seen or banal...

A long roundup to find out where creativity goes through 20 selected international designers, over the other 11 already represented in the Alessi Museum and now at Superstudio. Also a proper tribute to 12 great architects, who have made the history of design and who are recently disappeared, will take place.

Compared to even a few years ago, the presence of women in the field of design has changed both in terms of quantity, because women are many more, both in terms of quality, because they are more aware of their role within a traditionally masculine discipline such as design. On some issues, such as sustainability, or reuse design, women are in the front row. They have a cosmopolitan vision, they talk to the world, they know no borders and they are very quick to identify the emerging problems that design can and must try to answer...

The new Superstudio’s event for the Milan Design Week 2021 at Superstudio Più proposes a true r/evolution of our usual format made by great theatrical installations and it is becoming closer to an art exhibition, rather than a fair. We will use the rigour, the harmony and same museum-like care that has always characterized Superdesign Show, to present a series of collective and individual thematic areas, each of them with one independent and competent curator. Areas about the best of Italian and international production, the trends of living today at home and outside, with a focus on female creativity, young people and icons of the beginning of the third millennium. Prestigious brands, famous architects, successful designers and young talents for a special and unique event.
