Floating Cube: 10 Years of Molteni's Photography Commissions at Giussano

exhibition · 2026-05-05

The 'Floating Cube' exhibition launched at the Molteni Compound in Giussano celebrates a decade of photography from M&C magazine. Curated by Cristiana Colli, the exhibit showcases 20 pieces by ten Italian photographers, each linked to iconic Molteni&C designs. This project, which began in 2006, reflects the evolution of M&C from a business publication into an influential magazine. Each edition highlights a dual-themed photograph during Milan's Salone del Mobile. Selected artists include Paola De Pietri and Olivo Barbieri, with the exhibition designed by Ron Gilad, officially opening on October 16, 2017.
