“Wrapped Up in Time” at Milano Design Week

For the second consecutive year Paola Navone, founder of OTTO Studio, has opened the doors of her incredibe studio to All’Origine and to all visitors of the Milano Design Week. For seven days we peacefully invaded the ground floor spaces which are normally home to the library and meeting rooms of OTTO Studio.

For this edition of Fuorisalone we teamed up with our long time friends, artist duo Petripaselli who presented their editorial project “99objects”, a series of art magazines (first launched in 2017) each dedicated to an unconventional collecting theme. Right by the entrance to our pop-up shop, a 1960’s kiosk, sourced in Bulgaria by All’Origine, operated as a 99objects news stand, with Luciano Paselli and Matteo Petri alternating as as newsagents.

Issue number 8 of 99objects  is the one we chose as a connecting thread between the artists’ work and All’Origine’s collections. It is dedicated to the highly specific topic of vintage space themed orange wrappings, selected by PetriPaselli among the 44k different fruit wrappers that make up the private collection of Romana Gardani.

Inside the foyer of our temporary shop a series of enlarged prints of some of the wrappers featured inside the magazine .

And right next to this wall of delightful vintage illustrations selected by PetriPaselli our very own twist on this theme: bocce and other spheres presented as fruit in a shop.

Everything else we brought to Milano:

The largest assortment of mid-century glasses we ever presented! (1067 to be precise)

A selection of 1960’s porcelain bisque by several different Bavarian manufacturers relating to the themes of fossil/mineral inspired motifs and optical art.

60 linear meters of bespoke compositions by Art Director Corina Jucan.

200/something pieces in pewter and other metal ware combined with mid-century lace doilies, dyed in shades of blue for the occasion.

Fish shaped dishes and platters
