Additional Information

Designer: Studio BBPR

BBPR is the acronym that indicates the group of Italian architects formed in 1932 by: Gian Luigi Banfi (1910 - 1945) Lodovico Barbiano of Belgiojoso (1909 - 2004) Enrico Peressutti (1908 - 1976) Ernesto Nathan Rogers (1909 - 1969). Graduated from the Polytechnic of Milan, the four designers in their initial works follow the themes of Italian rationalism of the thirties, collaborating on some projects with Figini and Pollini. They are distinguished by various urban plans, the Pavia Town Plan (1932), the Elba Island Tourist Plan (1939), and above all for the most important and far-reaching the Aosta Valley Town Plan (1936-1937). . In this period they actively participated in the controversy that arose between rationalists and traditionalists and at first, like others, they believed they could support the struggle for freedom of expression and for the triumph of modern architecture within fascism, but later the introduction of the racial laws of 1938 that also affect one of their collaborators, the architects of the BBPR embrace the values of the Resistance. The vicissitudes of the war led Ernesto Nathan Rogers to flee to Switzerland and Gian Luigi Banfi to take an active part in the Resistance and to die in the Gusen extermination camp in 1945. Lodovico Barbiano Belgiojoso was also deported to Mauthausen-Gusen, but managed to survive his imprisonment of the field. The BBPR studio was entrusted with the preparation of the IX Triennale di Milano in 1951.

Production: Kartell

Kartell is an Italian company founded in 1949 in Noviglio, in the province of Milan, that produces furniture and sophisticated industrial design objects made of plastic. The company was founded by Giulio Castelli, a chemical engineer who began his business producing car accessories and plastic household goods. The brand's success consolidated in the 1960s, a particularly positive period for Italian design. International recognition came in 1972 with its participation in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York dedicated to Italian-made furniture. The pieces presented there, designed by Gae Aulenti, Ettore Sottsass, and Marco Zanuso, are still part of the museum's permanent collection. In the 1990s, it began a long-lasting collaboration with several internationally renowned designers, including Antonio Citterio, Ron Arad, Vico Magistretti, Philippe Starck, Piero Lissoni, and many others. In 1999, Kartell founded the eponymous museum, which collects and exhibits more than 1,000 creations. Several Kartell products have received international awards, including the Compasso d'Oro, the prize awarded annually by the ADI (Association for Industrial Design), considered the most important award in the world in the sector. Kartell's distinctive feature is its use of plastic in furniture in a completely original way, employing manufacturing technologies traditionally used in other industrial sectors. Kartell products are entirely produced in Italy, although their largest sales market is the United States. Among the most famous and successful products are the Maui seating series by Magistretti, the transparent two-piece La Marie chair, the Eros armchairs, the rotationally molded "Ghost" and Bubble chair series by Starck, and the Bookworm bookcase by Ron Arad.
