Salone Milan 2011: Kristalia at the Triennale Museum, Ten Years of Jazz-inspired Design
Posted in: Salone Milan
Besides the beautifully curated Le Fabbriche Dei Sogni, Dream Factories, exhibition at the Triennale Design Museum, there were a handful of smaller shows in the galleries including Italian brand Kristalia’s retrospective of work produced between 2001-2010. The exhibition explored the “encounter of two great passions: jazz and design”:
Creativity based on rigorous studies, versatility harmonized with elegance, individual research and continuous encounters with different voices.
“Elephant” Chair, hard polyurethane and beech wood legs
Each piece was accompanied by a playful take-away illustrating the concepts and origins of the designs. My favorite was the “Elephant” chair designed by Neuland Industriedesign, 2010-2011. Check the jump for details of Studio Bartoli’s soft, minimalist “Joko” chair (2010) and Luca Nichetto stackable “Face” chairs (2005).
