In this book wanted for love by Franco Marabelli, friend-collaborator right from the first hour, there is the whole man, his life, his history, his ideas, his world told by a hundred friends. A world that represents the beginning of fashion and modernity. Caro Elio, edited by Franco Marabelli, published by Rizzoli, is already in the bookstore.
Finally I received the magnificent book on Fiorucci by Franco Marabelli, brilliantly laid out by Pier Paolo Pitacco, with the collaboration of Franca Soncini. And it was like going back, in a moment I was among friends of the 60s/70s/80s catapulted by a time machine able to bring back emotions, challenges, fun, the energy of years that to tell them today we hardly believed it. Relationship, meetings, faces, people, eccentric personalities, visionaries...

His life, his professionalism, his ubiquity, his commitment to a different future make him a unique professional.

Due to the uncertainty of the effects of the Covid-19, Salone del Mobile has been finally moved to the beginning of September.
Many operators were beginning to wonder about the Salone del Mobile to be held April 2021: yesterday, the Organizers released a communication to inform that the event has been definitely moved to the beginning of September.
Not an easy choice, given what has already happened in 2020, but a choice of responsibility: this solution will leave to the participants a wider span of time to prepare the exhibition, guaranteeing as well a period where the effects of Covid19 are minimal.
The President of the Salone del Mobile, Claudio Luti, declared: "we interacted with Fiera Milano, thankfully we can guarantee a low-risk period..."
Italy crossed by the Toro car and immortalized in several shots of 21 important photographers, one per region plus the exceptional participation in Sicily, from her Palermo, of an icon, the great Letizia Battaglia. Today's useless controversy about the great photographer and her images doesn’t take away from the quality of the project. "With Italy, for Italy" initiative desired by Lamborghini can count on the photographer Stefano Guindani’s artistic direction - who chose Sicily as his set - and it will result first in a book and then into a traveling exhibition.
"It is a source of great pride and responsibility for me to have taken care of this initiative’s artistic direction..."
Imagining a glass skyscraper which, instead of using energy, is itself a source of energy for the entire building sounds like the future, but recent studies suggest that this could soon become a reality.
Buildings with glass facades often have a coating that reflects and absorbs at least part of the light to reduce brightness and heating inside the building.
Transparent solar panels instead of dispersing the energy they could use it to supply part of the building's electricity needs.
A team led by University of Michigan researchers, set a new efficiency record for both transparent and color-neutral solar cells in August 2020. The team achieved 8.1% efficiency and 43.3% transparency by replacing conventional silicon...

“L'anno vecchio è finito ormai / Ma qualcosa ancora qui non va / Si esce poco la sera/ Compreso quando è festa/ E c'è chi ha messo dei sacchi di sabbia vicino alla finestra / Ma la televisione ha detto che il nuovo anno / Porterà una trasformazione / E tutti quanti stiamo già aspettando...”
Lucio Dalla's words, prophetic and intense, speak to the heart. We rediscovered with great emotion images of the exclusive concert hosted at Superstudio 13 in 1994, in collaboration with Videomusic. We hope "the transformation" gets here soon with the "year to come", let yourself be carried away by the music ...
While the construction site of Superstudio Maxi, Superstudio’s new and third space, is in the finishing straight and our team is working on design of projects that will animate the space such as, for example, the DnaDesignNatureArchitecture exhibition format, we open a window on a theme which we are increasingly hearing about and that is an integral feature of the spirit and architecture of Superstudio Maxi: the LEED (Leader in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. We talk about it with the architect Riccardo Hopps, an expert in LEED protocols.
Widespread in Italy mostly among office properties, the LEED protocol...
