GABRIELE NERI – UMBERTO RIVA DESIGNER
Wednesday June 8th 2022, Corso Como 10
Fondazione Sozzani hosts Gabriele Neri who presents Umberto Riva Designer a book published by LetteraVentidue.
During his long career, Umberto Riva (1928-2021), one of the most original Italian architects of recent decades, developed a personal approach to design, understood as an integral part of a broader research that connects painting and architecture, spatial design, and object design. Lamps, furniture, carpets, and editorial graphic designs resonate with paintings, installations, buildings, public spaces, and domestic interiors, reworking traditional and industrial materials. To reflect this incessant artistic exploration, the book presents Riva’s work in the field of design through sketches, drawings, photographs, and other documents from the architect’s archive, many of which are unpublished.
