Italian design: beyond the crisis

The seventh version of the Triennale Design Museumis now open: “Italian design beyond the crisis: autarky, austerity and self-production.” The show includes works by, among others, Enzo Mari, Andrea Branzi, Gio Ponti, Maurizio Cattelan, Fortunato Depero, Bruno Munari, Alessandro Mendini, Vittoriano Viganò, Paolo Ulian, Michele De Lucchi, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Marco Ferreri, Salvatore Ferragamo, Patricia Urquiola, Ettore Sottsass, Franco Raggi, Giulio Iacchetti, Caterina Crepax, Antonio Citterio. The seventh exhibition of the Triennale Design Museum focuses on the theme of productive self-sufficiency, approached in a different way in three crucial historical periods: the 1930s, the 1970s and the 2000s. The basic idea is that designing in years of economic crisis can stimulate creativity: the origins of Italian design in the 1930s, the years in which the great masters were making remarkable works; the productive districts (formed in the 1970s in small geographical areas with legacies of knowledge and skill, based on local traditions and direct access to raw materials); all the way to the experimental forms of production from below and self-production. www.triennale.org.   "},{"caption":" The seventh version of the Triennale Design Museumis now open: “Italian design beyond the crisis: autarky, austerity and self-production.” The show includes works by, among others, Enzo Mari, Andrea Branzi, Gio Ponti, Maurizio Cattelan, Fortunato Depero, Bruno Munari, Alessandro Mendini, Vittoriano Viganò, Paolo Ulian, Michele De Lucchi, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Marco Ferreri, Salvatore Ferragamo, Patricia Urquiola, Ettore Sottsass, Franco Raggi, Giulio Iacchetti, Caterina Crepax, Antonio Citterio.
