Ephemeral Architecture and Design: Eurostands by Mitograff sets up Franco Raggi’s “Pensieri Instabili” exhibition at the Triennale
Eurostands by Mitograff brings ephemeral architecture and design to Franco Raggi's “Unstable Thoughts” exhibition at the Triennale.
There’s something magical about the way the exhibition “Franco Raggi. Unstable Thoughts,” inaugurated today at the Triennale Milano, manages to transport the visitor into the creative world of the Milanese architect and designer. A result achieved also thanks to the installation created by Eurostands by Mitograff, which gave concrete form to the curatorial vision of the Piovenefabi studio.
Whoever enters the exhibition spaces is welcomed by an unconventional path that perfectly reflects the nomadic and nonconformist spirit of Raggi, a prominent figure in Italian design who has moved with ease between architecture, design, publishing, and theory
The retrospective exhibition, which traces over fifty years of the artist’s work through projects, drawings, photographs, and installations, is striking for the presence of evocative architectural elements: concrete platforms, unusually shaped display tables, and, above all, a central tent-like structure that becomes the symbolic heart of the exhibition. The latter, created with oven-painted poles supporting the fabric, visually represents that concept of creative “instability” that has characterized Raggi’s entire career.
The Piovenefabi studio, founded by Ambra Fabi and Giovanni Piovene and known for its experimental approach to museum architecture, conceived a concept that Eurostands by Mitograff had to re-engineer and realize in surprisingly short timeframes.
The result of this work – which also includes the creation and installation of all the explanatory graphics – will be visible until April 13, 2025, offering the public an important opportunity to discover or rediscover the thought and works of one of the protagonists of Italian design culture.
