When Design Was Experimentation

The exhibition explores a pivotal moment in the history of Italian design: the early 1960s, when what would later be defined as Radical Design had not yet taken shape as an ideological manifesto, but existed instead as an open and fertile field of experimentation. During this decade, architects and designers progressively redefined the domestic environment, questioning materials, colors, forms, and the very relationship between design and industrial production.
