100×100 Achille
from 19 February to 30 April 2018 (later traveling)
To celebrate the Maestro's 100th birthday, the Fondazione Achille Castiglioni (Achille Castiglioni Foundation) has entrusted the curating of an exhibition to Chiara Alessi and Domitilla Dardi, who have asked 100 Italian and international designers to donate their favorite anonymous object.
100x100 Achilles is the collection of these birthday gifts and some greeting cards, sent by colleagues who have known Castiglioni, former university students or designers who have been inspired by his work; among others, the Bourorullec brothers, Studio Formafantasma, Konstantin Grcic, Giulio Iacchetti, Enzo Mari, Alessandro Mendini, Philippe Starck, Patricia Urquiola.
A tribute to the master who is also a focus on one of the most investigated themes in the design world today. Because it is in the curiosity for everyday objects and the investigation of their function that a new planning can find space.
The setting up of the exhibition was entrusted to Studio Calvi and Brambilla, which created a display consisting of mobile and versatile structures in continuity with the general concept of the project.
Inauguration of the exhibition, by invitation only, on February 16th with the extraordinary participation of the designers and friends of the Foundation.
