The project is in progress and open to other authors.

Design the Italian excellence.È il concept di un progetto espositivo in progress curato da Vincenzo Basile (BasileArteco) per il gruppo Baglioni Hotels spa, nella sede rinnovata del Nuovo Caffè Baglioni all’interno del Carlton Hotel Baglioni in Milano.

Dodici teche in vetro saranno teatro di esposizioni temporanee di oggetti unici caratterizzati da percorsi di ricerca progettuale, di sperimentazione e di realizzazioni preziose e rare legate al design.

Design italiano storico e contemporaneo. I maestri Ettore Sottsass, Enzo Mari, Ugo La Pietra e la giovane designer italiana Chiara Andreatti, sono gli Autori selezionati in questo primo allestimento. I giovani progettisti delle nuove generazioni che operano sulla scena italiana ed internazionale, i Nuovi Maestri e i grandi Maestri del Design saranno i protagonisti.

La continuità di una storia e di un percorso che lega il fare progettuale italiano al fare delle abilità di artigiani e di imprese di eccellenza, in una tensione proiettata al futuro che mostra i legami forti e mai interrotti tra la nostra storia e i nuovi approcci e le ricerche di una inedita e vitale stagione di creatività e di avanguardia del design italiano oggi più che mai viva.

Le relazioni di qualità tra le persone, l’autenticità dei rapporti, la correttezza e l’etica che sviluppa qualità e valore, le abilità realizzative di eccellenza, le lavorazioni tradizionali e l’innovazione continua, la cultura, queste le caratteristiche ed i valori senza tempo che identificano lo stile italiano, un modo di lavorare, un modo di gestire e vivere le relazioni, un modo di vivere.

The Italian way, il modo italiano.

Un universo di professionalità che esprimono un mondo di relazioni ed una qualità di rapporti unica ed improntata al rispetto della professionalità ma anche a rapporti umani di stima e di amicizia in un contesto ambientale unico al mondo, un paese e delle realtà inimitabili.

Lo spazio rinnovato dallo studio milanese Rebosio+Spagnulo rivela la presenza del design contemporaneo attraverso la scelta di Autori e dei loro progetti curata da Vincenzo Basile (BasileArteco) appositamente per questa location prestigiosa e per un gruppo italiano la Baglioni Hotels che rappresenta un’eccellenza nel mondo dell’Hotellerie del lusso e ambasciatore dell’italianità nel mondo .

Gli oggetti esposti racconteranno delle storie di persone, di lavoro, di relazioni, scambi e nuovi capitoli di un racconto ininterrotto e sempre nuovo e sorprendente.Un’ attenzione al design, al progetto, al fare di qualità che lega prodotti e servizi di eccellenza ad una moderna concezione di impresa e del suo operare all’interno di un contesto sociale unico, l’Italia di oggi, attraversata da un rinnovamento crescente.

The high quality and the authenticity of the relationship between people, the fairness and ethics, that develop quality and value, the skills in realizing “excellence”, the traditional craftmanship and the continuous innovation, the culture, these are the characteristics and the eternal values that identify the Italian style, a way of working, a way of managing the relationships, and of living them.

Il modo italiano, the Italian way.

A universe of professional and skilled people who create a world of relations and express a unique quality, respectful of their professionality, and, at the same time, friendship and regard, in a country that is unique in the world, in its inimitable realities.
