Editare iMaestri, tributo a Filippo Alison by Cassina
Palazzo Reale di Napoli - Piazza del Plebiscito, 1
10.00 AM - 7.00 PM
Cassina, the historic company founded in Meda in 1927, will take centre stage at Palazzo Reale, with a tribute to the Neapolitan architect, designer and professor Filippo Alison, who in 1973 created the renowned Cassina iMaestri Collection. This project reissued furniture designed by the masters of Modernism, and had been launched by the company back in the mid-1960s. The Teatro di Corte, designed by architect Ferdinando Fuga in 1768, will raise the curtain on Alison’s research starting from the 1970s on the furniture of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, true milestones in the history of design. Central to the exhibit, the Hill House 1 chair and the Willow 1 armchair, iconic models from the Cassina iMaestri collection, will be featured to tell a story that connects the city of Naples to the world of international editorial design.
