Marocchino:Hebel Gallery Opens in Milan, Blending Modernist Design with Works on Paper and Contemporary Ceramics
Michele Marocchino and Stefanie Hebel have launched Marocchino:Hebel Gallery at Via Santa Marta 14, located in Milan's Cinque Vie district. The gallery presents a collection of modernist design, contemporary ceramics, and works on paper. Marocchino, who has a deep appreciation for 20th-century interiors, acquired Casa di Fantasia in 2019, shaping his perspective on historical artifacts. Hebel, who has spent over three decades in Italy and previously worked as a Retail Manager in fashion, joins him in this venture. The gallery aims to attract architects, interior designers, and collectors, emphasizing Italian and international Mid Century Modern design from the 1920s to the 1970s, featuring notable designers like Franco Albini, Gio Ponti, and Marcel Breuer. Restoration plays a crucial role, preserving each piece's authenticity and history.
