LUCA MEDA’s Tribute / 8 May – 8 June / Milan
Luca Meda Exhibition “La felicità del progetto” from May, 8 to June, 8 at La Triennale museum, in Milan.
La Triennale di Milano, in partnership with the Design Archives of Venice’s IUAV University and with Molteni&C, Dada and Unifor, pays tribute to Luca Meda, an example of the perfect symbiosis between creativity and business, between art and industry, the creator of numerous products that have distinguished the history of the Molteni Group.
Almost a paradox for a designer who used his pencil more than any other tool to describe and reinvent reality. Drawings, designs, models, catalogues, photographs and objects on show to describe the multi-faceted talents of a figure who had a profound influence on the history of design and architecture between the 1960s and 1990s.
For the Molteni Group this is an opportunity to pay tribute to the designer and friend who significantly and long time contributed to define the Corporate Identity. But it is also the first stage of a journey to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the company, which was founded in 1934.
The inauguration of the exhibition took place last week on May, 8 and are opened for one month, at La Triennale of Milan, stop by if you’re around !
