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.

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Marco Marzini has created inside the Fondazione Achille Castiglioni a dynamic display with the pleasure of exhibiting unpublished materials, sometimes fragile, unobtainable, sometimes common to other people's childhoods, and will be a real pleasure to find a way, in some cases, for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.
