At the entrance to the showroom a temporary exhibition of original products from the historical archive of the company, a tangible sign of the new presence, fascinates visitors with reminders of the historic status and value of the brand, through the iconic design of a number of items now seen in the most important museums and exhibitions of design around the world. They include: Solemio (1983), a luminous shelf with a rotating mirror; and Brooklyn (1977), bridge shelving that stands out for its reticular beam placed between two pylons, with shelves suspended on slender steel ties. Both projects are by Lodovico Acerbis & Giotto Stoppino.
Enrico Acerbis, brand ambassador of Acerbis for MDF Italia, after having directed the company for the last five years, comments on the operation: “Representing the fourth generation means becoming a spokesman for a historical legacy of 150 years of family tradition in the world of furniture, while also being aware that it is necessary to know how to evolve, like those who came before us, to approach the challenges of a world that is constantly changing.”
