Electa has won the six-year management contract for the bookshop at Palazzo dell'Arte, home of Triennale Milano, and commissioned Patricia Urquiola to redesign the space. The new layout, inspired by Giovanni Muzio's iconic facade arches, features modular furniture by Urquiola and will debut during Salone del Mobile. The bookshop will offer art, design, and architecture books, along with magazines, official merchandise by Studio Camuffo and Kesselkramer, and design objects from brands like Design Memorabilia, Seletti, and Danese.
