The travelling exhibition Vico Magistretti - Travelling archive takes an in-depth look at Magistretti’s design through his work with some of the most recognized Italian design companies (Artemide, Cassina, De Padova, Flou and Oluce, which since 2010 are also founding partners of the Foundation dedicated to the master of Italian design) shown through sketches, pictures, notes, letters and faxes, as well as a selection of his most important creations. 

In addition, the exhibit “reevokes” his studio in Milan, where Vico Magistretti worked during his entire career. The walls are covered by pin boards full of samples of his favorite paper materials, sketches drawn on newspaper pages, drawings made for him by his grandchildren, letters correspondence with friends and colleagues, and family photographs.

Thanks to this layout, the exhibition will follow a double path, one towards creativity, and the other one towards the origin and creation of the products.
