Design Exhibition in Lucca

Until 20th September at the Ragghianti Foundation

Lucca celebrates the design. The Ragghianti Foundation will welcome until 20th September the exhibition “Daily Art – A journey between art and design”.

120 creations by around 60 artists and architects and created between 1968 and 2000. A fascinating journey at the discovery of the extraordinary union between art and industrial design.

Industrial products, but also hand-crafted prototypes and creations ordered by time, forms or authors and often accompanied by works of art created by the same designers.

The journey begins with the Antidesign works, going through the pop suggestions in the early ‘70s by Gino Marotta, Gianni Ruffi, Superstudio, Archizzom, Ceretti, Derossi, Rosso, Enrico Job, to end with the experience of Memphis, Metamemphis and Memphis extra, with vanguard artists like Mimmo Paladino, Chia, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Bagnoli, Boetti, Luigi Serafini and the collection of 12 porcelain plates of the “The White snow moi” by Giandomenico Sozzi for Driade.

There are of course the furnishing objects of the collection “Megalopoli” created in limited edition by the Italian workshops on behalf of Agneta Holst and projected during the ‘80s by artists like Carla Accardi, Mimmo Paladino, Gianni Pettena, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Giò Pomodoro, Shama, Ettore Sottsass and Tarshito.

“Daily Art – A journey between art and design” is a coloured and fascinating exhibition that holds great surprises and, therefore, it’s a must for those who, even on holiday, do not miss the chance to satisfy their curiosity.
