12.09.21

During the Milan Design Week from 4 to 10 September 2021, an oversize installation inspired by a classic board game took place at the Giardino delle Culture located in via Emilio Morosini 8 (Municipio 4).
The art installation by the decorative design studio PROGETTOMENODUE entitled THE ICONS OF MILAN, THE ART OF PLAYING THE GAME, in partnership with CANDYSLAB, EXTREME FACTORY and MINIMALS, aimed to tell a contemporary Milan, made of many inspiring women, Milanese by birth or by adoption, who are a reference for their determination and vision.
Modern icons in the fields of fashion, design, culture, entrepreneurship, art and entertainment: among them also Maria Porro, President of Salone del Mobile and marketing and communication manager of the family design company.
On each piece, next to the person's name, there was a QR code which, framed, tells her story.
The scenography recalled all the elements of a board game and has been designed to take pictures and interact with it: the pawns with the symbols of "Milan way-of-life" like the panettone, to the gold and pink dice, the board and the colored banknotes that reproduce in a graphic key the main monuments of the city.
