The Gallery of Trendy Artwork in Milan (GAM) is dedicating an exhibition to this genius designer of the 20th century. Cesare, referred to as Joe Colombo (1930-1971) had a brief but dazzling life, producing prolific work on the border between artwork and business. “Pricey Joe Colombo, you taught us concerning the future,” curated by his former and closest collaborator, Ignazia Favata, traces the profession of this visionary who, pushed by his utopian ideals, foresaw the future of design, know-how, and society. This retrospective seems again at his first experiences when he joined the Movimento Nucleare in the 1950s, creating sketches of an underground nuclear metropolis that already revealed his futuristic vision. Then invites us to rediscover the facility of his avant-garde, practical, and playful objects, such because the Elda armchair and the Acrilica and Alogena lamps. But in addition the Universale chair, the Tube-Chair and the Multi-chair, marking his attraction for the modular, new supplies, and adaptability of the shape. Trendy, creative, and revolutionary concepts that have laid the foundations of up to date design.
