Superstudio at Milan Design Week 2019: Five Highlights
Superstudio, the format created by Gisella Borioli and art director Giulio Cappellini, continues its nearly twenty-year activity with the motto 'less fair, more museum'. The 13,000 sqm space across two locations hosts heterogeneous exhibitions, from big design brands to emerging authors, futuristic environmental projects to commercial products, Italian companies to those from countries reinterpreting their craft heritage. Five unmissable proposals include: Smart City exhibition curated by architect Giulio Ceppi at Superstudio 13, focusing on 'The Latin Way to Smart City' with workshops and debates; Dassault Systèmes presents 'Design in the Age of Experience' showing 3D design innovations for sustainable cities; Korea Craft & Design Foundation's 'Monochrome Monologue' project promoted by the Korean government, featuring a black-and-white space and a collective of 25 national artists selected by Seoul Fashion Week director Kuho Jung; Indonesian Contemporary Art and Design by Artura returns, alongside 'Essential Jakarta' supported by Jakarta government; Normann Copenhagen celebrates 20 years with a hybrid visual arts and design exhibition featuring ten international artists; Giulio Cappellini launches Superhotel, an international yet deeply Italian space mixing industrial and high-craft products from top Italian design names.
