1. "One-offs" general view




Back to the top


The impluvium is now divided in two. The ground floor houses the airy library; above, a room for rotating exhibitions. In this space there follow one another the many thematic exhibitions that display the Triennale´s Permanent Collection of Italian Design to the general public. "Fuori serie" (one-offs) seizes on the fact that some of the furnishings are coeval with the space in which they are exhibited and uses it as the key to the exhibition design. The brick walls form the backdrop, with long panels resting against them presenting the two contrasting scales of detail and period setting. The artificial lighting recreates the effect of light falling from above, approximating the opening to the sky desired by Muzio. Arranged on the rust-coloured carpet are long steel daises, oxidised and very slightly curved, raising the furniture exhibits imperceptibly and ordering them in space.
