Valcucine Milano Brera

Among other things, this exhibition offers a selection of objects by designers who work outside of normal design business practices, looking beyond the concept of the material "wood" in strictly functional terms.

Legno (wood) is the title of the project by Spotti Milano that the Valcucine Milano Brera space hosts. A design talk, an exhibition and installation to talk about the different facets of this amazing natural material.
Guests of the design talk in the evening of September 24 will be illustrious witnesses who have chosen wood as a key element in their design: Andrea Branzi, architect, artist, theorist of design and architecture; Gabriele Centazzo, president of Valcucine who has made sustainability his corporate creed; Ambra Piccin, sensitive interpreter of the natural material that has brought new life to her interior projects; Maurizio Riva from the eponymous company that has always expressed its passion for wood experimenting with all design alternatives. The event will be presented by Patrizia Scarzella, architect and journalist. Those unable to attend the event can view the exhibition and the temporary installation at the Valcucine space.
The design talk will be followed by a performance by Benedetta Cesqui Malipiero who will pay homage to the theme of wood with an ad hoc performance based on the text of the journalist Barbara Malipiero. Attire by Linda Calugi.
Wood Mood is the title that Davide Fabio Colaci, architect and interior designer, has chosen for the exhibition curated by him, featuring a specially designed display space covered with Jannelli & Volpi Marimekko2 wallpaper, offering a selection of 10 objects by many designers who work outside of normal design business practices, looking beyond the concept of the material "wood" in strictly functional terms.
Display by: Raphael Charles, Tom Chung, Levi Diether, Ryosuke Fukusada, Alexa Lixfeld, Peter Marigold, Mockulock, Julia Walter, Giulia Cosenza + Joanne Choueiri + Povilas Raskevicius, Paolo Ulian.
Il segno del Tempo (sign of the time) is a photographic installation by Patrizia Scarzella, a story told in pictures inspired by the meaning of time by James Hilman who contributed to the birth of the whole initiative. "The project was born from the passion of the writings on the meaning of time by James Hillman and its metaphors: Like trees, we become more irregular, more entwined, more intricate, like the wrinkles on our faces. We become unique and strange pieces".
