Una “Cuccagna” di Fuorisalone
9 April 2015
30 June 2016
The “Stanze e altre filosofie dell’abitare” (Novel Living Concepts), curated by Beppe Finessi and sponsored by Federlegno Arredo, is currently on during the XXI edition of the La Triennale. A series of living rooms are installed to provoke reflections on the art of inhabitation. Federlegno Arredo called Beppe Finessi to curate the installation and select the designers; Finessi called a wealth of artists, including Andrea Anastasio, Manolo De Giorgi, Duilio Forte, Marta Laudani e Marco Romanelli, Lazzarini Pickering architetti, Francesco Librizzi, Alessandro Mendini, Fabio Novembre, Carlo Ratti Associati, Umberto Riva, and Elisabetta Terragni. Each was asked to illustrate inhabitation according to their personal aesthetics and expressions. Tones varied, from the reproduction of a domestic living room to perspective space, and from a home/womb to a dreamscape. Inhabitation, here, is defined by the personality of the inhabitant.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
