MOTOPLEX MILANO CITY LOUNGE: THE LAUNCH
DELIGHTFUL. HALL OF ART. Vespa has also been chosen by the Studio Ciarmoli Queda as a “disruptive” element. Occupying a prominent position in the “Hall of Art”, the venue hosting the top brands in Italian design, Vespa is the object that blends perfectly with the environments narrated by the exhibition. A unique creation embodying the concept of luxury linked to experience and authenticity, conceived and developed to separate and unite contemporary living spaces.
The Vespa is interpreted as an art and design object in DeLightFuL (Hall 15, Rho Fiera), a visual and sensory exploration of daily life and contemporary space, which looks at the way the new generations live and see the home. Theirs is a fluid space combining technology and domestic archetypes, public and private, primary needs and new desires, an emblem of creativity that moves beyond the traditional subdivisions among functional areas.
MOTO GUZZI TOTOMOTO BY TOM DIXON. For the 50th anniversary of the V7, launched in 1967, Moto Guzzi is presenting TOMOTO, an exclusive model customized by British furniture and interior designer Tom Dixon, an enthusiastic biker who has always been close to the values and history of the motorcycles from Mandello del Lario.
Untreated aluminium, startling wheel-rims and a Tom Dixon lamp for the headlight are the distinguishing features of a concept that mixes motorcycle art and industrial design. Tom Dixon not only designed the details, he was directly involved in the study of the prototype. Tomoto will be presented as part of the Tom Dixon Multiplex, at the Manzoni Gallery, via Manzoni 42, in The Rubber Shop, a workshop devoted to two-wheelers during the Salone del Mobile (means: Furniture Expo; Milan, 4-9 April 2017).
