"Finnish Lighting with Annmaris & Brazilian Design", organized in partnership with the Finnish auction house , presents an eclectic selection combining Finnish lighting and Brazilian furniture. Around 100 lighting pieces — floor lamps, table lamps, and pendant lights — will be featured, including a significant body of work by Paavo Tynell, alongside pieces by Itsu, Mauri Almari, Gunilla Jung, and Lisa Johansson-Pape. These are complemented by iconic works of Brazilian design by major figures such as Joaquim Tenreiro, José Zanine Caldas, Sergio Rodrigues, Jorge Zalszupin, and Giuseppe Scapinelli.
"Umberto Mariani. L’arte della forma celata" brings together an exceptional group of twenty-five works by Italian artist Umberto Mariani (born 1936), a singular figure in contemporary art whose practice revolves around a unique and obsessive motif: drapery. Working with lead on wooden panels, Mariani creates highly sophisticated reliefs in which the folds of fabric — an enduring metaphor for what escapes the eye — invite the viewer to imagine what the material conceals. From silvery monochromes to intense colors such as bright red, deep violet, midnight blue, and sunny yellow, each work reveals a tension between revelation and mystery.
