From 9 to 11 April, the Milano Running Festival returns, transforming Superstudio Maxi into a vibrant village where sport, entertainment, adrenaline and pure fun blend into an open celebration for runners and for everyone else, too.

It’s not “just” a must-attend event for seasoned athletes and aspiring runners. The Milano Running Festival is, above all, a citywide gathering built around togetherness, an invitation, from this afternoon through Saturday 11 April, to soak up the atmosphere of marathon weekend long before the starting gun fires.

A successful designer, Franco Perrotti has created furniture and projects for some of the most prominent international design brands, while simultaneously pursuing a personal artistic research that has led him toward impactful installations and sculptures capable of addressing profound themes, including political and social issues.

In the exhibition curated by Fortunato D’Amico, “Franco Perrotti: From Object to Vision”, on view at MyOwnGallery, design, art, and craftsmanship intertwine to become a single expressive language—a continuous dialogue between function and perception, between artifice and nature. Surfaces, lights, and seating abandon their original function to become “vision.” They are no longer mere furnishings, but bridges between body and environment, compasses that guide our collective behavior.

Ross Lovegrove, Toyo Ito, Ankon Mitra. Three archistars for three visions of the future. Creative, courageous, free to think, design, and most importantly, dream and make others dream. 

Together with them we explore different ways of thinking about living environments, perhaps influenced by their culture: Japan for Toyo Ito, India for Ankon Mitra, England for Ross Lovegrove.

“SPACE” reflects on contemporary mobility and transforms the car from a means of transport into an intimate and fluid space that travels with people.

Lexus presents one of the most sophisticated and sensitive reflections on contemporary mobility with “SPACE,” an installation that goes beyond the technical dimension of the automobile to question the very meaning of movement—no longer, or not only, as a transfer from a starting point to a destination, but as a journey made of experiences, emotions, and perceptions.

The electronics giant explores the most human side of innovation, with an installation centered on emotions and everyday life.

From technological efficiency to a love for creativity. Almost counterintuitively, hi-tech giant Samsung Electronics presents “Design is an Act of Love,” an installation that shifts technology’s focus toward the more intimate and relational dimension of design.

A mural that reminds us of the power of imagination is the gift of ivan, the street poet who invites us to “throw seeds into the wind to make the sky bloom” at Superstudio for its 25 years of design and 20 years of support for street art.

When the Berlin Wall with its libertarian paintings was considered a symbol of independence, young people who claimed peripheral walls to express their fantasies in Milan were all considered illegal vandals deserving fines, trials and other deterrent measures, Gisella Borioli invited Sharp and Daze, American superstar writers, to exhibit in the new MyOwnGallery at Superstudio Più.

Twenty-five years after the launch of the Fuorisalone across the city — starting from Superstudio and the emerging Zona Tortona — it is time to shift perspective and look ahead, drawing on past experience. Two viewpoints clearly embody this transition: the exhibition dedicated to Marcel Wanders, an exhibitor since the very first year, and the opening performance by dancer Yoann Bourgeois, poised in balance over the void.

​​​​​​​In 1983, the founders of what would become the most iconic group in the representation of events and creative, technological, and forward-thinking practices realized, from their first headquarters—“Il 13” in Via Forcella—that the “Zona Tortona” had great potential and could become the heart of a new Milan. Years later, the former working-class and industrial area has become a vibrant center of ideas and opportunities, a focal point for fashion, design, art, as well as social development. The vision of a creative and exhibition district has been fully realized. In today’s Tortona District, major fashion brands coexist with seven museums, cultural centers, photography studios, theaters, arthouse cinemas, countless restaurants, repurposed spaces turned into event venues, design hotels, modeling and communication agencies, and a population of young people looking ahead. The challenges of the years have not slowed its development; on the contrary, they have stimulated new ambitions. Twenty-five years after the first event that anticipated the phenomenon of “diffused design,” born precisely at Superstudio Più, a new step is taken. 
This anniversary is celebrated with a special edition of art and design taking place across three of our Milan venues with three projects: Superstudio Più with SuperNova, Superstudio Maxi with SuperCity, and Superstudio Village with SuperPlayground. And with a major opening party featuring, among many creatives, the extraordinary anti-gravity dance performance by choreographer Yoann Bourgeois. 
Once again, we will amaze you.

Marcel Wanders returns to where it all began: Superstudio Più. It was 2001 when he debuted as an unknown young talent; today he comes back as an established rockstar of international design to celebrate 25 years of Moooi. He does it in grand style, with a mega silver celebration: a spectacular installation of over 1,000 square meters that transforms the space into a symbolic narrative, a sort of manifesto of his imagination. It gathers, celebrates, and relaunches iconic objects and products, reinterpreted—starting with the modular Peak Sofa, Moooi’s bestseller. There is no nostalgia—there is, once again, the same drive and ambition of Marcel to surprise, move, intrigue, and above all provoke.
