A thought that Superstudio willingly addressed to many citizens who, needing them, do not find these medical devices now essential for every movement and that will be required also in the early times of the post-coronavirus for the more normal activities.
Imagining operators who will accompany the doctors in the new hospital just inaugurated in record time at the Fair, and the many people who will not be able to get them, we have offered them to the Mayor Sala and to the Councillor of the Municipality of Milan Rabaiotti and to the Civil Defence. They will be delivered in the next few days to the Hospital of the Fair and to the ‘Enzo Jannacci' Hospitality House, to the Saini sports center converted into a shelter for homeless and at the center set up in Porta Romana port of call to lighten Casa Jannacci ensuring the protection of all guests.
We are pleased to have been able to contribute a little help to our city and to the safety of its weakest inhabitants.

No words are needed to express how Superstudio and its people are involved and aware of the very serious health emergency of Covid-19.
The bright Italian flag on the ledwall of our entrance is a thank you, a symbol, a sign of hope for everyone and in particular for those who take care of us.
"Despite the crisis, despite the uncertainty, despite the fear, we continue to believe that the appointment with Design in Milan will be - whenever it is - a moment of redemption, trust, beauty, progress, sociality. We are working to return at the beginning of summer with a renewed, sparkling and exciting Superdesign Show, together with the districts of Milan and the Salone. But also ready to propose real and virtual innovations that will make our event even more interesting and irreplaceable. With the presence of large global brands that are wondering about life and the environment. With a stroll through the cultured and technological proposals of the contemporary East. With an endless roundup of young international designers. With a special on Women Designers in the year dedicated to female creativity. With Supercampus, how to study and work together. With talks, meetings, opportunities and much more. Along with our exhibitors, all on our side.
No digital substitute can give the magic and the involvement of "live" event".
Gisella Borioli, founder Superstudio Group and creative director Superdesign Show
"It is precisely in the most difficult moments that tension must not give way and creativity must always think of the future.
Superstudio Più in an open, eclectic space, always ready for new interpretations and transformations. And SuperDesign Show, the Milan Design Week event that kicked off the Fuorisalone in the neighborhoods twenty years ago, will be full of surprises to the next appointment .
The new layout for the design event will have as its main theme red, which will connect, sometimes on the walls and sometimes on the floor, the different installations. Suspended lights in the air will create a magical effect.
Never before has the task of design been to create beautiful projects but above all to make the audience dream!"
Giulio Cappellini, art director Superdesign Show
Further to the decision of the Mayor of Milan Beppe Sala and of the board of Federlegno, to postpone the Salone del Mobile to 16th– 21th June, event with which we are strongly connected for many years now, we have decided to follow the same decision.
Superdesign Show will be postponed to 16th- 21st June, with VIP & Press Preview on 14th- 15th June.
The city and organizers’ top management are solid and motivated, and are promptly working to overcome the global difficulties that are temporarily conditioning all of us.
We are confident that this postponing may be an opportunity to continue to work serenely, building an even bigger, special and significant edition 2020.
Greta Thunberg proved how much strength and courage a little Asperger girl can have, up to raising awareness and mobilise young people from everywhere around the world, therefore our future. Also Superstudio is on Greta’s and young Aspies’ side : boys and girls superior intelligence and strong emotions, able to focus on a target and follow it through, with no distractions and with determination. Girls and boys with weird behaviour, usually highly creative, as demonstrated at the fist “Autism and Creativity” convention held at Superstudio last February during Autism Global Day that summons actors, directors, writers, illustrators, artists, digital technicians all talented Aspies. To show how diversity is a value and getting to know each other helps self-fulfilment and the achievement one owns’ desires. On the 16th February, for the same anniversary, once again at Superstudio Più, with a new convention, organised by Spazio Asperger Onlus, CuoreMenteLab and the specialised publishing house Edra.

Superstudio Più
Via Tortona, 27 – Milan
Since 2000, debut year, everybody has stopped by the great spaces of Superstudio Più, former-General Electric, and Superstudio 13's photographic studios. Protagonists of architecture and global design, top furniture and applied technology brands, world's archistars and young designers running towards success, authors-craftsmen and either well-known or experimental artists. They are the authors of the iconic pieces that marked our time and spectacular "mise en scène" that became the hallmark of design at Superstudio according to the “less fair and more museum” concept. Almost twenty years of exhibitions on over 17.000 sq.mt and having launched the idea of the Fuorisalone spread over the district and then in the whole city, deserves a book that analyses the phenomenon, reminds the stages, celebrates the protagonists, establishes the icons. SUPER DESIGN 2000/2020, written and curated by Gisella Borioli with Giulio Cappellini, will be presented at the forthcoming Superdesign Show in June.
“La Moda in altro Modo” lands on Youtube, images and testimonies on the golden years of Italian fashion in which Flavio Lucchini has been creator and protagonist as art director and creator of magazines. Project by Gisella Borioli with direction by Giovanni Gastel, the film is a visual and complementary story of the autobiography “Il Destino – dovevo fare il contadino ma ho incontrato la moda (e non sono uno stilista)" by Lucchini.
A fascinating journey marked by social, costumes, taste and socio-politics changes transformations which Lucchini interpreted through his magazines and his art. Fundamental steps. The 50’s of New Look by Dior: Lucchini creates Fantasia. The 60’s between Haute Couture and Beatles: Lucchini designs Amica and transforms Novità to Vogue. Protest movements of the 70’s and the beginning of pret-à-porter, the publishing revolution by Lucchini with Oliviero Toscani to give evidence of the new society with L’Uomo Vogue and Lei. The 80’s: establishment of the designers made in Italy. Lucchini creates the antagonists of “Vogue” Donna and Mondo Uomo.
Top models become stars. The Minimalism and Individualism of the 90’s: Lucchini turns fashion into art with his Dress Art. 2000: fashion changes radically, with the appearance of mass fashion, e-commerce and fast fashion, Superstudio Più is born, among fashion design and innovation. Lucchini leaves publishing and dedicates to his Dress Art.

“I am 50. Hard for me to believe it, I say this because I’m still the same, I still have my Dodgers baseball cap, coloured hands... I still get excited when I am given a new Hot Wheels as a present, I still get emotional when I look back at photos of my friends who have gone away too soon; this is the spirit that guided me up to now and it’s the same one that brought me back to MyOwnGallery of Superstudio, with my solo exhibition...”. “THE PIECE (PEACE) MAKER” it is not just an exhibition, but a celebration of “Underground Culture” by Milanese artist Flycat, an indisputable forefather of the first generation of Writing and Hip Hop culture in Italy. To celebrate his 50th birthday and 36 years of artistic career, 100 art works including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and much more, narrate the story and philosophy of the “Urban Art” cultural movement, with the important curatorship by Francesca Alfano Miglietti (FAM). The theme of Letters inserted into an urban fabric - never mind if in Milan or in New York - takes shape through different art works such as urban maps that narrate overlapping stories.

The "ORGANISMI e HARMONIE" exhibition presents a hybrid collection between sculpture and design belonging to Kim Seung Hwan's last decade production, outlining the new aesthetic direction undertaken by the artist, designer and cultural entrepreneur. The exhibition curated by Martina Corgnati, highlights elements as artifice and nature, modernism and archaism that reunite in the geometric and mathematical laws and emphasizes the impeccable dominion of the Korean sculptor of plastic materials, from bronze to polystyrene to stones.
Kim Seung Hwan began his career in the nineties in Pietrasanta where he attended the Academy of Carrara, then he continued his journey in Asia. In 2008, with his wife Lanki Jung, he founded the great center of contemporary art Dio Art Center, which hosts and produces exhibitions, installations and film shows dedicated to Italian and Korean authors.
After almost 30 years for his return to Italy and Europe, the artist has chosen the MyOwnGallery gallery at Superstudio, a preview of the next stage during the Milan Design Week 2020.
