The exhibition, promoted by the Archivio del Moderno - Università della Svizzera italiana and by the Giancarlo Iliprandi Association and curated by Monica Fumagalli Iliprandi and Giovanni Baule, with set-up designed by Lissoni&Partners, offers an in-depth account of the Milanese designer's research, investigating his design universe, which is rich, cultured and still topical.
