Albini in Present Tense

Albini in Present Tense
Franco Albini makes his principles of relational transparency explicit in his project for Villa Pestarini. Its open plan is not merely a modern gesture but a tool for establishing tensions between space, light and objects, before bringing them back to the scale of the single room - complete and articulated. Nothing is isolated; everything is in dialogue.
From this principle, the installation curated by Patricia Urquiola in collaboration with Haworth and Cassina, takes shape in a concept that does not add a narrative but works through subtraction instead.

Patricia Urquiola is an architect and designer. In 2001 she founded her own studio, specialising in industrial product design, architecture, art direction and strategy consulting. Since 2015, she has been Art Director of Cassina
