Workshop
Entrance upon registration
Where
Triennale Milano
Via Alemagna, 6

A workshop at Gioco, Triennale Milano's new space for families, held during Inequalities to imagine clothes that tell us about and prepare us for the worlds to come.
abiTANTI invites children to reflect on these issues starting from a simple and powerful question: “If you had to leave your home to live in a new place, what clothes would you sew for yourself?” Between real and imaginary habitats, accompanied by Attila Faravelli's sound compositions, participants are guided to design a garment capable of welcoming, telling stories, and connecting, weaving together personal stories and collective visions.

Via della Moscova, 15

Solo exhibition by Harry Rigalo.
A bridge between design and sculpture, Rigalo explores the space between function and intuition through a new body of work: a series of rough stone pieces that blur the lines between design and sculpture. Each piece, part furniture and part relic, reflects an intuitive dialogue with the material, revealing a practice where presence takes precedence over purpose.

CASVA
Via Isernia, 5

Three protagonists who made Italian design famous around the world: De Pas, D'Urbino, and Lomazzi. Behind the icons that made history—the Blow inflatable armchair, the Joe sofa, the Sciangai coat rack—there is a continuous search to rejuvenate the way we live in our homes, which has its origins in the knowledge of architecture.

The exhibition takes the public beyond the object, on a journey of discovery of a creative process that has suggested new spaces and transformed the way we use domestic spaces.

Fondazione Achille Castiglioni
Piazza Castello, 27

The exhibition-through the story of the displays in the Foundation's rooms-brings out the aspect that many recognize in Achille: playfulness.
From an idea of Giovanna Castiglioni, Achille's youngest daughter, arose the desire to put on display the games of when she was a child. Designer Marco Marzini has created inside the Fondazione Achille Castiglioni a dynamic display with the pleasure of exhibiting unpublished materials, sometimes fragile, unobtainable, sometimes common to other people's childhoods, and will be a real pleasure to find a way, in some cases, for visitors to try out the games.
