EVENTS Underground atmosphere The last of the aforementioned locations was very popular since it was the site of the Alcova exhibition, which united over 90 designers and institutions, committed to shaping contemporary design culture through innovative practices concerning living environments, products, systems, materials and technological innovation. Among them, Ciam, who created an installation based on the new gelato pozzetti, Circle, arranged on a long panel suspended in darkness. It was curated by Art Director Fabrizio Milesi, who played with contrasts such as off/on, light/dark, noise/silence to engage the visitors’ senses and bring out the sensations of freshness and radiance associated with gelato. From the lathe to the table Among the historic buildings, Palazzo Borromeo d’Adda with its neoclassical façade and the beautiful inner courtyard may seem at first glance an unlikely place for an exhibition dedicated to the industrial use of metal. Instead, it turned out to be the perfect location for the “Art Metallica” exhibition by Alessi, which presented four projects carried out with some of its most important collaborators. One was “Il Tornitore Matto” (The Mad Turner), which focused on objects that recall the function of containers, including bowls, vases, shelves and glasses.
