LABÒ: an innovative location hosts sophisticated design at the Fuorisalone

News, Appointments, Milan — 30 March 2023

Limited additions, one-off pieces and works of art will interact in an industrial space with a strong, expressive atmosphere, laid out like a small, modernist village.

From April 17 to 20, 2023, the industrial complex of Società Prodotti Antibiotici (SPA) and the Rodolfo Ferrari Foundation in via Biella 6, Milan will host a new cultural project. LABÒ is a unique opportunity to discover the creations of over forty international designers, companies and art galleries.

The workshop is the distinctive theme of the project: the physical space in which visitors will be welcomed along the exhibition path, and the intangible space of a creative investigation that materialises in the design editions presented.

The project is curated by The Design Blender (Elsa Lemarignier and François Leblanc di Cicilia) and Alisée Matta with the aim of promoting the design and research world of international artisans.

“The otherness of forms and the sensations transmitted by this exceptional place were the main inspiration of this project.  Research becomes a source of creation in a path of innovation between yesterday and tomorrow, between art and know-how, in which the designer is at the centre of the process, say the curators Elsa Lemarignier and François Leblanc of Cicilia.

Through alternating collections of furniture, artisan creations and works of art, the project explores the expertise of international designers, artists and artisans with an array of emerging talents.

The boundary between design and art is also explored with an exhibition dedicated to the designs of the surrealist artist, Roberto Matta, in which his pieces and prototypes and re-editions by Paradisoterrestre are showcased side by side.

LABÒ thus becomes an opportunity for the exchange or ideas and thoughts and to promote research into creativity, a collective event in which art, design and experimentation come together to showcase innovative results.

LABÒ is a not-to-be-missed event for art and design fans everywhere, as well as for anyone who is interested in learning about the latest trends in the creative world.
