Milano Design Agenda

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.

A journey through posters and images from the Historical Archive of Fondazione Fiera Milano. Over a century of enterprise, innovation, and transformation within the Italian production system: from mechanics to chemistry, from automobiles to design, from food to fashion—industries that have helped spread around the world a production style rooted in creativity, quality, and innovation.

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Marco Marzini has created inside the Fondazione Achille Castiglioni a dynamic display with the pleasure of exhibiting unpublished materials, sometimes fragile, unobtainable, sometimes common to other people's childhoods, and will be a real pleasure to find a way, in some cases, for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

The exhibition transforms the Shed at Pirelli HangarBicocca into a feminine, dreamlike house-body: an intimate and political space where craftsmanship and symbolic ornament invite viewers to reclaim subjective time and imagine freedom.
 

A major retrospective dedicated to Lella Vignelli and Massimo Vignelli explores their decisive impact on international design and graphic culture, from Milan to New York, through objects, projects, and a shared language of clarity.

A monographic exhibition dedicated to Andrea Branzi, a central figure in Italian design culture and in design thinking between the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Through the perspective of Japanese architect and Pritzker Prize laureate Toyo Ito, the exhibition presents the most significant themes and projects of the Italian designer, bringing together installations, objects, and drawings in a dialogue that highlights the core ideas of Branzi’s work.

A special itinerary through the works in the permanent collection, also featuring the most recent acquisitions. The exhibition presents the most significant objects in the collection, designed and produced between the 1930s and the 2000s, placing them in dialogue with the history of the Triennale and opening up new and unprecedented perspectives on the history of Italian design.
