Forme Mobili

Triennale Milano presents the new exhibition layout of the Museo del Design Italiano, directed by Marco Sammicheli, with exhibition design by Luca Stoppini. Titled Forme mobili, the exhibition brings together a series of acquisitions, loans, and in-depth studies that explore the multiple relationships between body, silhouette, and movement.

Forme mobili is an invitation to think of movement as a design action. It explores the relationships between body and silhouette, gesture and structure, in a path in which objects from the collections of Triennale are organised in ten sections and in which the chosen themes represent constants in Italian design. Three new areas of research and dissemination enrich the collections: fashion, which in each section is related to the museum's works by compositional assonances between forms, materials, historical periods and design ideas; boating, with drawings and models of boats, between ingenuity, technology and interior culture; and illustration and drawing for magazines and newspapers. The itinerary culminates in the Design Platform, a dynamic space dedicated to temporary exhibitions of contemporary designers and new forms.
