Special Opening of the FLA Museum for ApritiModa, October 25–26. The FLA Museum will open its doors for ApritiModa, the event that, over one weekend, brings together more than one hundred ateliers, workshops, museums, and companies, supported by Camera Moda, Fondazione Cologni, and Altagamma, under the patronage of the Italian Ministry of Culture and the City of Milan.

In the Atelier space, the FLA Museum invites visitors to rediscover the exhibition “Grazie Giorgio – The Influence of Giorgio Armani’s Fashion in the Works of Flavio Lucchini”, a narrative told through sculptures, paintings, and digital artworks that celebrate the professional and personal bond between the artist and the designer. Their story began in 1975, when Armani launched his own line with the support of Lucchini, then art director and editor of Vogue and L’Uomo Vogue, and among the first to recognize Armani’s extraordinary talent.

The Atelier of the FLA Museum at Superstudio Più hosted the 2025 edition of "Sentient Horizons," the event curated by Istituto Marangoni Milano Design that explores the intersection of art, design, science, and artificial intelligence. Over 150 attendees, including professionals and students, gathered insights, innovations, and inspiration from an international panel of leading experts.

The theme of this year’s edition was “Seamless Singularities,” an exploration of the hybrid zone where the interaction between humans and artificial systems gives rise to new visions of what is possible.

MIA Photo Fair returns home. From March 20 to 23, the prestigious event dedicated to art photography reclaims the iconic spaces of Superstudio Più, the same venue that hosted its first unforgettable editions. This homecoming has already sparked excitement among collectors, gallerists, and enthusiasts, eager to immerse themselves in a special 14th edition that promises to be richer and more vibrant than ever.

With 77 galleries – 56 Italian and 21 international – and a total of 114 exhibitors, MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas reaffirms its role as a key reference point in the contemporary art scene. However, this fair is much more than an art market; it is a temporary museum of photography, an immersive experience that combines the highest quality of exhibited works with a well-structured cultural program featuring thematic exhibitions, workshops, talks, special projects, awards, and portfolio reviews.

Cinema and photography, two closely connected and complementary worlds, both capable of telling stories, evoking emotions, and capturing fragments of reality through images that reveal the essence of humanity. British director Peter Chelsom, known for his acclaimed films and collaborations with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, has always nurtured a deep passion for photography, an obsession that began in his childhood. An exhibition hosted at MyOwnGallery during MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas unveils the director’s sharp and ironic gaze, offering the public a journey behind the scenes and into his personal exploration of the “dream role.”

"Dream Role", curated by Beatrice Audrito, presents a selection of photographs taken on the sets of numerous films directed by Chelsom, including Funny Bones, Shall We Dance?, Serendipity, Hector and the Search for Happiness, and many others. 

As the fashion spotlights dim, another major week, sponsored by the Municipality of Milan, arrives in town. From March 2 to 8, Milano MuseoCity will involve 149 museums and cultural venues - including public, private, and corporate museums, foundations, and artist archives - to guide the public in discovering an extraordinary Milan. An extensive program of special openings, exhibitions and collaborations, to which our FLA Museum contributes with extended opening hours, guided tours, and a concluding event celebrating the Tortona District.

The museum will remain open with extended hours throughout the week, offering daily guided tours dedicated to the "Fashion R-Evolution" by Flavio Lucchini. Visitors can explore over 650 works set up in 20 themed rooms, showcasing dialogues between art and fashion through large sculptures, bas-reliefs, paintings created with traditional or experimental techniques, digital paintings, graphic works, and small or gigantic totems.

Irreverent, visionary, ironic, and relentlessly unconventional, Franco Moschino was the enfant terrible of Italian fashion—a multifaceted genius who dismantled the conventions of the fashion system with a mischievous smile. Few remembered the 30th anniversary of his passing, but the multidisciplinary exhibition at MyOwnGallery is far from a nostalgic endeavor. Instead, it celebrates his vision, which was ahead of its time.

A small solo exhibition by Flavio Lucchini opens in Milan, 19 artworks that leave their usual home, the FLA Museum, to land in an unconventional but highly sensitive venue, Studio Lombard, an accounting firm that in recent years has become increasingly committed to the issues of circular economy, sustainability, benefit societies and social and cultural enterprises.

Internationally renowned Milanese artist Maria Cristina Carlini has gifted the city of Milan her monumental sculpture, Obelisk. This permanent piece is displayed just a few steps from her historic and beautiful studio on Via Savona. Initially showcased at the Superstudio Più on Via Tortona, a 15-minute walk from her studio, the sculpture made its debut at the 2016 Superdesign Show, engaging in a dialogue with international design.

A renowned brand and artist along with a young sculptor traverse parallel paths, offering a diverse range of new aesthetic expressions. On one side are the iconic pieces by Cappellini, thanks to the work of Giulio Cappellini who has enlisted the collaboration of the world's most famous designers. On the other side are the artworks of Flavio Lucchini, which engage in dialogue with design through multiple resonances. And furthermore, it's the first time for Sebastiano Pelli at the Milan Design Week, an artist and designer yet to be discovered.

Let's tell the truth, NFTs have been talked about so much, too much. Cryptocurrencies, blockchain, soaring valuations, and subsequent price crashes. The ART PLUS ULTRA event for a week shows us that we can return to the origin of a technological medium of endless possibilities, where the creative value of artists emerges without prejudice. Even the great Ercole Pignatelli, at 88 years old, ventures for the first time into live digital painting, in an event not to be missed.

Lorenzo Marini, renowned art director, advertising expert, and communication guru, is also a successful artist and pioneer of Type Art. On display at MyOwnGallery, the exhibition features an innovative exhibition format that highlights the fundamental importance of patronage and unveils works that would otherwise only be accessible to a select few.

The schedule dedicated to unconventional female talents continues at MyOwnGallery at Superstudio Più, which hosts, from Nov. 9 to Dec. 8, the exhibition and BookCity event "Antonella Quacchia. Orizzonti sensibili - Naviganti di microcosmi. L’estetica dell’emozione," curated by Fortunato D'Amico, under the Patronage of the City of Milan.

Wearable Art, the creative power of Fashion and Art come together to rethink artwork’s concept on its own, a phenomenon able to give life to indomitable works living and evolving with those who exhibits-wears them. Just like the recently announced collaboration between the internationally well-known writer Flycat and the street Broke Clothing brand.

It was the last art exhibition at Superstudio just before pandemic's great shock. Among the first writing philosophy's artists in Italy, Flycat celebrated his 50th birthday and 36-year career in MyOwnGallery with a significant solo exhibition. Kisses, greetings, hugs, toast… A crowded vernissage with more than 500 guests just in one evening.
And then everything closed, exhibitions, galleries, theaters, the previous life becomes a distant and faded memory...

We hosted him at Superdesign Show 2018 with his monumental installation "Breath/ng", a great white origami that breathed and purified air. We published him in “Design Super Show” book as one of the most charismatic presences in these 20 years of design at Superstudio. We met Kengo Kuma in a video conference from Tokyo during "Welcome, feeling at work" press presentation, the innovative eco&green building that will be built in Milan.  

Rooftops, lush gardens, vegetable gardens, open-air courtyards, restaurants, lounges, shops, a supermarket, a wellness area and spaces for events and exhibitions. A new residential complex in town? No, offices. 
Precisely the first biophilic office in Milan, a project looking to the future and whose sole purpose it's to make working days more livable, encourage people's well-being in a location in close dialogue with nature...

We knew that our "Unreal but Real" exhibition with Flavio Lucchini artworks in augmented reality was avant-garde, but we would not have imagined even prophetic. A new way of enjoying contemporary art that Superstudio had already guessed almost two years ago. A trend that today becomes a necessity. 

Presented in April 2019 at Superstudio Più with the brand new technology created by Sense - immaterial Reality, the virtual exhibition allowed you to enjoy an emotional journey through the mobile phone and a dedicated app of Flavio Lucchini's large sculptures and installations, which interacted with visitors and they could also be photographed as well as shared on social media...

"I have always admired Peter Lindbergh for the consistency and intensity of his work. Being timeless is a quality I personally aspire to, and that Peter certainly possessed. With this exhibition at Armani/Silos I want to pay tribute to a wonderful workmate whose love for beauty is an indelible contribution to our culture, not just to fashion." Thus Giorgio Armani introduces the discovery in his museum space of a great man of world photography. Not to be missed.

Heimat is a concept that has a deep meaning in German culture. It is home, the place of belonging and of heart, the homeland. It’s also the exhibition title "Heimat. A Sense of Belonging" commissioned and curated by Giorgio Armani in his Armani Silos, to celebrate one of the greatest masters of twentieth century photography, Peter Lindbergh, who died in September 2019 at the age of 74. Heimat for Lindbergh represents the industrial background of Duisburg in Germany, with its factories, fog, steel and concrete, the gray horizon. A place that has forever marked its aesthetics, with its truth and personality...

The YogaFestival returns to Superstudio Più, the fifteenth edition that focuses on quality and “live” practice in complete safety. Giulia Borioli, its founder and leading personality of the entire Italian and international Yoga field, tells us what has changed in the Covid era.

15 years of YogaFestival and the return to the historic location, Superstudio Più, where your headquarter is also located. How has the festival changed in these 15 years and how has the enjoyment of yoga turned in Italy?
From the first year until today yoga itself has undergone a swift evolution, which has had a great impact on today’s society. The first edition was born in this way, for my desire to convey this ancient and wonderful knowledge to as many people as possible. Over the years, the festival has become a reference point, which was missing, for  yoga community. Why? I believe that being superpartes, presenting so many yoga styles in the same way, involving foreign guests who have never come to Italy is the secret of a certain success...

After the exhibition in MyOwnGallery in 2019 that marks his return in Italy after 30 years, the Korean artist Kim Seung Hwan is designing a great installation of monumental sculptures and a furniture collection that we will see during Milan Design Week 2021, at the Superdesign Show which continues its museum-like contaminations. From August 22, however, a new solo show in Udine.

You began your artistic career in the 90’s, in Pietrasanta. You won the Critic Award during the very first edition of MiArt. How has this all-Italian beginning influenced you?
I was inspired and influenced by the works of modern Italian sculptors. While I was working in the atelier in Pietrasanta, I met several International and Italian artists and I am pleased to have seen some of the finest marble works. I was also excited about thinking of Michelangelo working in the same place as me...

The moment the Temporary Museum of Superstudio hosts for the first time the group exhibition of Thailand, it is almost a challenge. An unusual country in the design market, yet full of promises and with a very interesting point of view, a wise mix of craftsmanship, artefacts, tradition and desire for renovation.

In 2011, it is a little space in the Former Ansaldo of via Tortona, inside the complementary project “Innovation/Imagination” always curated by Superstudio in collaboration with SlideArt: a group exhibition with the best of Thai design and the winners of the prestigious DEmark (Design Excellence Award) that rewards design, innovation and functionality, all curated by the Thai researcher and designer Eggarat Wongcharit.
The following year, the group exhibition moves to Superstudio Più for three years in a row, taking up an important space and becoming a proper national pavilion also thanks to the important investments in support of the companies from the government...

16 years ago, Cristian Confalonieri, a design student back then, had a brilliant insight: while trying to plan what to see in the city during the design week, he realised that on the web there was more or less nothing. This is how the website Fuorisalone.it was born and had become the portal that gathers all the exhibitions and projects of Milan Design Week. He co-founded the company Studiolabo that deals with communication design and territorial marketing. Accepting an invite from Council Member Cristina Tajani, he coordinates the Interzone Focus Group where all the most important players of design take part, including Superstudio.

For the first time in 1991, design showrooms gather together under an official guide called Fuorisalone, by initiative of Gilda Bojardi. In 2000, districts of design were born, by impulse of Superstudio that opens its space to design, with the accomplished creation of Tortona District. Later on, the development of other districts such as Brera and Ventura Lambrate... What is the success of the Fuorisalone, an event that the world envies us and uselessly tries to imitate?
I think the success of Fuorisalone is strictly connected to the inability to define it. And therefore to reduplicate it. Is it an event or a fair? Is it BtoB or BtoC? And so on. It is a strictly Italian model, Milanese actually. The city dimension, a little metropolis as it is usually called, is a fundamental element for the event success. We can shortly go through it and all neighbourhoods (who became then areas, and then districts) feel involved...

Even art against the terrible Covid-19. Artists and galleries offer their works for a fundraiser that combines beauty with generosity. Flavio Lucchini is among them.

"Beauty will save the world" wrote Dostoevskij in one of his famous novel, and never as in this moment of fear and uncertainty our eyes would like to be filled with beauty, whether it be a natural landscape, an exotic journey, a work of art…
Emotions that only partially the virtual world can evoke.
When the desire for beauty is combined with the desire to help the forces in the field that fight against the virus that has upset our lives, the marriage is perfect. As for the initiative of Blindarte, gallery and auction house based in Milan and Naples, which launched the "ART to STOP COVID-19" project, an online auction where you can buy at very attractive prices a rich selection of art works both contemporary and modern, antique paintings, art design, drawings, also photography and graphics.
All proceeds support the Lombardy region or the Pascale Institute of Naples, to be chosen by the purchaser...
