The objects and systems on display in the exhibition tell, through their material, ergonomic and functional diversity, Micheli's own history of intellectual continuity, together with his principles underlying his design, which have been the same since the beginning of his work.

In fact, when asked which works he considers most representative of his career, he replies: “Just as a good father has no preferences among his children, so I love all my creations in the same way, all my projects perfectly represent my expressiveness and my content credo: to transform the complexity of our time into simplicity”.

The exhibition highlights the numerous themes that Micheli addresses and explores in his works, always achieving results that are as rigorous as they are unconventional. And if he had to summarize his way of designing in two adjectives? “Heroic”, he replies, “and nonconformist”.
