Triennale Milano

Since 1923, Triennale Milano has been one of world’s leading cultural institutions, conveying the complexities of the contemporary world in a host of artistic forms: design, architecture, and the visual, scenic, and performing arts. It hosts a permanent exhibition of the most important pieces of Italian design, some of the 1,600 objects in the Triennale collection.
The setting is organised in chronological order and provides insights into the history, creative period and context in which each work was designed.
The most iconic pieces include the Lady armchair by Marco Zanuso for Arflex or the Eclisse lamp by Vico Magistretti for Artemide and the Arco lamp designed by the Castiglioni brothers for Flos
