Triennale Design Museum, directed by Silvana Annicchiarico with the expert consulting of Andrea Branzi, presents a new interpretation of Italian design: Serie e Fuori Serie.

This second interpretation illustrates the contemporary landscape of Italian design, ranging from experimental research to mass markets, crafts to advanced technologies, small businesses to globalized corporations.

The museum ‘stages’ Italian design by updating not only its thematic approach but also its exhibit design, done by Antonio Citterio and Partners, covering the 2000 sq meters of the museum, with the sole exception of the Teatro Agorà designed by Italo Rota in 2007.

The opening for the public, 21. March 2009.

A video installation of director Peter Greenway opened the new museum in the dream of cinema- Triennale Design Museum.

After three years of work , the Italian design has found the place where put on display. On 6 December, it opened its doors in Milan ,”Triennale Design Museum. Instead of a mausoleum or a showroom it will be a dynamic museum. There will be a rotation speed of productions every 18-24 month to persuade the public to return repeatedly.

If we make a comparison with serial television , we could say that this opening like permanent collection of museum, put its first episode about a theme “What is Italian design?”

The director Peter Greenway, made a good host to visitors with a multi screen projection. The museum shares ten thematic areas. First steps of visitors were in ” Teatro Agora”, designed by Italo Rota, what is the heart of the new museum. This space covered with raw wood and equipped with multiple video equipment, and it will host meetings and performances. Then, there are “La Luce dello Spirito” as forms and emotions of the lighting between design and technology (film by Antonio Capuano). “La Dinamicita” speaks about innovation and experimentation from futurism to today (David Ferrari).

The Italian design as a symbol of bourgeois modernity by armchair Martingala Marco Zanuso (film by Silvio Soldini), in the space of the”I Grandi Borghesi.”

Furthermore is “Il Teatro Animista”, as a home theater, objects as actors talk with the people, from armchair Proust by Alessandro Mendini (film by Mario Martone). Even a large challenge between “la democrazia impilabile, la semplicità, il super-confort, il ponte e il fiato alle trombe” like the best design.

It opens Thursday, 6th of December in Milan, “ Triennale Design Museum” which presents itself as a reference point for the production of excellence in Italy. It proposes a different museum: dynamic rather than static, in which the stories continuously speaks with the present. This museum will be changing dynamically the design of itself, and it will continually innovate and offer visitors always different. It will be a creative space, consistent with its subject. Moreover, this will not be museum collection, but the narratives. The basic idea is to identify a great theme every year, which offers the possibility to enthusiasts who can come more than once a year knowing that they will find new things and new about design.
For inauguration, the issue is clearly “What is the Italian design?”
This project which began in 2004, wants to interpret the creativity of design, an expression of “Made in Italy.”
