How can design be told without going through theory or technical language?
Fantastic Stories for Real Objects, published by Lazy Dog, chooses a novel path: that of imaginative storytelling, inspired by the form of the fairy tale. The volume restituiesce the design universe of the Castiglioni brothers through short stories designed for adults with the curious gaze of childhood. Each designed object thus becomes the protagonist of a story, in which invention, irony and reality are intertwined in a surprising way.

Where
Fondazione Achille Castiglioni
Piazza Castello, 27

The exhibition-through the story of the displays in the Foundation's rooms-brings out the aspect that many recognize in Achille: playfulness.
From an idea of Giovanna Castiglioni, Achille's youngest daughter, arose the desire to put on display the games of when she was a child. Designer Marco Marzini has created inside the Fondazione Achille Castiglioni a dynamic display with the pleasure of exhibiting unpublished materials, sometimes fragile, unobtainable, sometimes common to other people's childhoods, and will be a real pleasure to find a way, in some cases, for visitors to try out the games.
