Enrico Peressutti's Modernist Network Explored Through Collaborative Works at Fondazione Pasquinelli

From April 14 to 24, 2026, the Fondazione Francesco Pasquinelli in Milan will host an exhibition dedicated to architect Enrico Peressutti, focusing on his collaborative engagements rather than a conventional monographic format. As a prominent member of the BBPR studio, Peressutti is associated with notable works such as the Torre Velasca and the Musei del Castello Sforzesco. The exhibition will showcase creations by artists including Max Bill, Saul Steinberg, and Alexander Calder, illustrating a web of 20th-century cultural interactions. Highlights include Peressutti's chair designs from 1932, lamp prototypes from the 1950s, and images of the 1954 Olivetti store in New York. Critic Antonello Negri characterizes Peressutti as a designer influenced by collaboration, framing architecture as a practice rooted in relationships.
