The Palermo1 installation focuses on the furniture from Agapecasa Mangiarotti Collection, an icon of refinement and cultured living, objects whose beauty has been untarnished by passing time. Forms suspended in time, simple geometric shapes in space, precious materials in nature.

Angelo Mangioarotti is an architect with a keen eye and sensitive intuitions, an artist who has moved beyond the present to design a future garbed in brand-new ideas, always attracted to material and the memories it holds.

Agapecasa

Agapecasa extends the vision of Agape to the whole of domestic life, with original products that are refined, functional and modern. The Mangiarotti Collection is a range of furniture made from prototypes, designed by Angelo Mangiarotti from the early 50s onwards: design classics, carefully tested and updated in full agreement with Studio Mangiarotti. It includes objects for everyday living, all very diverse, although designed by the same author, extremely relevant to today’s needs, and consistent, despite having been designed over a fifty-year period. Conceived by a designer who has been able to experiment with and establish new reference parameters in typology, form and construction, the collection proposes objects that deal in an unconventional way with the objects that inhabit our lives (chairs, tables, shelves and storage units), making them functional in an intelligent, innovative way, and giving them appropriate, yet sophisticated and unusual form.
