(September 12, 2016) With the aim of highlighting the genius of some Italian architects and designers that have become icons of international design in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first century, on September 14 at 19 at the Institute Italian culture of Brussels will be inaugurated the exhibition “Italian design: the culture of the project”, which collects all of Italian works from the CID – Centre d’innovation et de design of the Grand Hornu – collection. During the opening night, Giovanna Massoni (artistic director of Reciprocity Design Liege) will converse in French with the designer Mario Trimarchi. Some of the pieces of the exhibition, which will remain open to the public until November 8, are the result of the merger between the creativity of the designers and the excellence of Italian industry, represented by brands such as Alessi, Artemide, Danese, Magis, Oluce, Produzione Privata, Venini, Serafino Zani, Zanotta. Others testify to the poetic inspiration of personalities such as Andrea Branzi, Ettore Sottsass and Michele de Lucchi. (Red)
