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.
At the heart of the exhibition is “Dissuader”, installed outdoors in the Piazza dell’Arte: a monumental metal pigeon pierced by spikes and suspended in mid-air, a powerful symbol of the invisible barriers that regulate our cities. In dialogue with it is its counterpart in laminated wood, resting on the ground. In a sky now saturated with drones and satellites, Perrotti’s work invites us to reflect, transforming technical design into a shared ethical responsibility.
Art thus becomes a conscious practice of inhabiting space—an invitation to rediscover the beauty of sharing and connection. Form ceases to be merely structure and becomes the expression of a new awareness of contemporary living.
