Five Designers Pay Tribute to Fortunato Depero in #Avantissimo Project
Five international artists have come together to honor the famous Futurist artist Fortunato Depero, known for his work in theater, advertising, design, and craftsmanship. The project, called #Avantissimo, is organized by Kreativehouse, which collaborates with brands like Pinko, Vogue, and the London College of Fashion, and is backed by Fidenza Village. It includes a website, a metal and plastic installation, and a special collection of designer bandanas that will be available until April 9. Additionally, in Turin, Gruppo Building has introduced a new public artwork by Richi Ferrero—a “Futurist gate” dedicated to Depero, featuring a striking animated steel motorcyclist at Lagrange12.
