Universita' Statale di Milano

From 4 to 19 September, INTERNI presented Creative Connections: a series of installations, designed by the greats of the project and created by cutting-edge companies that interpret the dream of a better world.

Three themes were developed:

-Care (in design, in production processes, in the use of materials and in the subsequent application of the circular economy);

-Sustainability (in the sense of being conscious and as an indication of method, a creative and productive attitude that is fundamental for those who design, do business, invent and experiment)

-Mobility/Speed (in both a real and metaphorical sense, and referred to peoples, thought, space, means of transport and technology)

Three exhibition sites:

-UNIVERSITA’ DEGLI STUDI DI MILANO • via Festa del Perdono 7 • 4-19 settembre 2021

-ORTO BOTANICO DI BRERA • via Fiori Oscuri 4, via F.lli Gabba 10 • 4-12 settembre 2021

-AUDI CITY LAB • via della Spiga 26 • 5-27 settembre 2021

Here are some of the Installations admired:

Università degli Studi di Milano - Cortile d’Onore - Outdoor lounges

Missoni Home, Righe e fiamme da outdoor

Configurations of the Nap Outdoor sectional sofa in Andalusia striped fabric with Atacama Outdoor flamed black and white cushions.

The mosaic vase-sculpture created by Orsoni Venezia 1888 repeats the colors of the fabric. Lights by Davide Groppi.

Designed by MissoniHome Studio, Nap Outdoor and Virgola Soft are the two featured collections at the installation that MissoniHome has mounted in the exhibition. Two interpretations of relaxation for out of doors playing on the soft/rigid contrast and sharing the concept of the sectional composition of the modular elements and that of the iconic, one-off piece: the Nap Outdoor modular sofa, rigid, linear, rigorous, for relaxing on the grand scale, and the Virgola Soft beanbag, comfortable, with gentle lines and easy to place, accompanied by the Cubo Soft pouf. Outdoor design elements, colors and techniques with an unmistakable character make up the project devised for this occasion. The choreographies are flanked by a large artistic mosaic vase-sculpture specially handcrafted by Orsoni Venezia 1888 for Missoni. It reproduces in macro the interplay of lines and colors of the fabric Andalusia.

Stefano Giovannoni, Survival - Qeeboo (with the lights of Ledvance)

“Today, global warming and the pandemic call into question the very survival of the planet and humanity, evoking biblical and apocalyptic events. The installation includes an ark/raft, onto which Qeeboo’s iconic creatures, inspired by nature in the great variety of its forms, are loaded by means of mechanical elevators in a desperate attempt to save animal species and nature itself as a whole. Providence entrusted to Noah (the positive part of mankind) the task of preserving the species so that, after the flood, he would become the progenitor of a reborn humanity. Today the challenge arises again with a strong desire for recovery, capable of promoting a true rebirth of humanity and its relationship with nature” (Stefano Giovannoni)

All the elements are made strictly in white, in rotational molded polyethylene and in fiberglass.

-Turtle Carry Lamp, Cervo and Giraffe in Love (in fiberglass), designed by Marcantonio;

-chandelier Fallen designed by Studio Job.

The scene is also enriched in its perimeter by Ledvance outdoor LED strips
