Projects
- For the WIDE EYE exhibition, Milan based Danish/Italian design studio OLDER and Danish artist Alexander Vinther have created a series of collectible design works that reflect a playful devotion to contemporary design and its many branches.
For the first design collection of OLDER, which has specialized in uniforms for the gastronomic world since 2013, Studio Vedèt has acted as a consultant and curator introducing them to the collectible design scene and welcoming this creative bunch to Milan. - Alcova is a platform for independent design developed by Studio Vedèt and Space Caviar. Currently operating as an itinerant network of exhibition spaces across multiple sites in and around Milan, it activates forgotten locations of historical significance, temporarily recasting them as venues for performative activities.
After two successful editions visited by more than 100,000 in 2018 and 2019, Alcova returns for 2021 with an equally spectacular site, a 19th century nunnery and laundry in the Inganni district of Milan. The 3500 m2 site – partly taken over by plants and vegetation, and preserved in a state of semi-abandonment – will be once again intensely programmed for the event’s duration with performances, exhibitions, talks, screenings and installations.
alcova.xyz - Picked by Nina is a special project dedicated to a selection of limited edition designs and works of art, with the intention of making collectable design more accessible. Having recently restyled the identity of Nilufar Gallery and rebuilt its main online platform, we are more than happy to contribute to this parallel project – designing its identity and e-shop. If Nilufar is renowned internationally for its prestigious selection and high-end style, PICKED BY NINA, addressing an audience of young collectors, was in need of a different vibe, still elegant but definitely more playful.
- Vedèt has partnered with the Nilufar Gallery to create an innovative and interactive online presence for one of the most important design galleries in the world. Over the duration of the engagement we’ve both designed the concept for the site and provided ongoing updates and support.
nilufar.com - The collective show Brassless was born as an ironic and provocative gesture, an irreverent parenthesis within its context. Just as in the previous episodes of FAR — within the Nilufar Depot — Brassless marries a challenging accent to the established Milanese gallery. With a light but decisive denunciation of the decadence of trends, Brassless looks to accelerate the end of a homogenous phase in which contemporary design and architecture abused this alloy by using it randomly or needlessly.
The exhibition features projects that choose their metals with purpose. If the world is destined to make decisions remotely on the basis of partial representations, it is ever more important that those who design and manufacture have the necessary competence to research and select materials thoughtfully.
nilufar.com - The Great Design Disaster is an experiment in collectible design with an ironic approach that accepts aesthetic clashes and failures. Vedèt's task was to create a visual identity to accompany the provocative concept of this unusual project. Color juxtapositions and neon lines create contrast with the curvy, baroque typography. The identity had permission to go wild as The Great Design Disaster invites crazy outputs.
Studio Vedèt's art direction for The Great Design Disaster celebrates contrast through a bold use of coloured light and surreal narratives. The pictures are abstract representations of hypothetical and beautiful design disasters happening in the house of a collector.
Designed and developed by Studio Vedèt, The Great Design Disaster website is a rich and charming narration of this articulated project, employing its bold visual identity and provocative imagery. Check in monthly for updates and new TGDD episodes.
thegreatdesigndisaster.com - The quintessential Italian bar in Milan, the city that gave the world the aperitivo: Bar Basso. A place symbolic of conviviality, service and passion, which wrote the history of drinking in Milan, thanks in part to its bartenders and waiters.
Previous virtual exhibitions we designed on the Bar website have celebrated famous people of all kinds, and all of them patrons of the Bar — from James Irvine to Sandro Pertini, from Baron Franchetti to Giovanni Trapattoni — designers, writers, brigands, taxi drivers, presidents of the Republic, and above all the people of the neighbourhood, in an assembly with no equal.
This exhibition celebrates the soul of the bar, the people who have always worked there and allow us to live it, and to relive it today, after an unexpected break that made us yearn even more for its trustworthy, everyday presence.
All Stars is a wall of faces dedicated to the real protagonists of the Bar, its precious staff, captured by Corrado Beldì's skillful pen, and immortalised by the infallible camera of Delfino Sisto Legnani in an exhibition curated and web-designed by Studio Vedèt.
barbasso.com/allstars - FAR is a parasitic entity — an experiment in design infiltrating Nilufar, one of most celebrated international galleries. Building on the seminal pilot project in 2018, from April ‘19 exhibition has enveloped the cavernous void of Nilufar Depot, disruptively subverting the established order of the gallery’s programs.
FAR is a voyage into a galaxy of emergent designers. It embraces the work of individuals who often operate as collectives - forming, dissolving and regrouping fluidly and open-endedly. It is a temporary collective of collectives that captures a snapshot of a new generation. FAR subliminally echoes the radical experiments of a previous generation, one that understood design as a language capable of transcending the basic logic of consumption in order to operate instead, on the level of political thought.
FAR is curated by Studio Vedèt, who also developed a visual identity inspired by the same obsessions explored by the 10 participating designers: Alberto Vitelio, Audrey Large, Bram Vanderbeke, Destroyers / Builders, Johan Viladrich, Julien Manaira, Michael Schoner, Odd Matter, Thomas Ballouhey and Wendy Andreu. FAR's exhibition design is by Space caviar. - Alcova is a platform for independent design developed by Space Caviar and Studio Vedèt. Currently operating as an itinerant network of exhibition spaces across multiple sites in and around Milan, it activates forgotten locations of historical significance, temporarily recasting them as venues for performative activities.
During Fuorisalone 2019 Alcova occupied two sites, both programmed for the event's duration with exhibitions, talks, installations involving fifty international partners from as many countries.
Alcova was located in the former panettone factory of Giovanni Cova & Co., north of Loreto, an ex-industrial space partly taken over by plants and vegetation, frozen in a state of poetic semi-abandonment.
Alcova Sassetti, was organised in collaboration with Alice Stori Liechtenstein and Fondazione Kenta, activating a former cashmere factory in Isola perfectly preserved in its original condition since the 1930s.
alcova.xyz - Volumnia sounds large and in reality, it is massive. It is a platform for art and design that will inhabit the cavernous interior of a former church in the heart of Piacenza. With roots in the renaissance, it is a monumental and awe-inspiring space (3000 sqm) steeped in history, with rows of columns that spring dozens of meters into the air. Enrica de Micheli, a gallerist with over 20 years of experience in antiques and design, initiated the revitalization of this historic space through a broad range of activities including an exhibition space, a bistrot and a year-round cultural program. Studio Vedèt created Volumnia identity, including naming, logo design, website and collateral materials.
volumnia.space - Within the context of Fuorisalone 2018, Studio Vedèt acted as a creative consultant for the major “Lina Bo Bardi Giancarlo Palanti – Studio D’arte Palma” exhibition organised by Nilufar gallery. Focusing especially on work realised within Studio Palma, this exhibition presents the largest collection ever brought together of Lina’s furniture.
Vedèt created the show’s visual identity, catalogue and website presenting theoretical texts, images, videos and historical documents about the late designer. The components of the visual identity employ the aesthetics of the designers repertoire in a modern fashion, demonstrating her relevance to contemporary design.
bobardi-palanti.com - Bernhard Schobinger (Zurich, b.1946) is among the most important protagonists of contemporary art jewelry. Schobinger subjects the piece of jewelry to a radical reconsideration, overturning the traditional codes nearly to the point of destroying them. His first Milanese solo show was held at the studio of Turi Simeti in anticipation of the opening of the Martina Simeti Gallery. Studio Vedèt created the visual identity for the exhibition and an ad hoc website. Employing a language similar to that used by the artist, one of rebellion against tradition.
- Alice Stori Liechtenstein has converted her home, the Austrian Castle Schloss Hollenegg, into a residency program focused on emerging experimental designers. Now in its third edition, Schloss Hollenegg for Design has invited young designers to consider the palace and its history as a means to investigate the significance of what we leave behind. The exhibition “Legacy” looks at both the past and the future to explore the importance of heritage, in personal and collective terms. Studio Vedèt conceptualized, designed and art directed the exhibition catalogue, exploring contemporary representations of the castle’s antique objects.
- During Fuorisalone 2018, ALCOVA opened the doors of one of Milan’s most historic panettone factories to the public. The complex’s vast spaces - partly taken over by plants and vegetation - hosted projects by designers, institutions, galleries, and companies working at the avant-garde of themes such as contemporary living, design culture, materials, and technological innovation.
Along with Space Caviar, Studio Vedèt curated and produced the exhibition for which Vedèt created a visual identity in which bold fluorescent coloured forms, shaped as alcoves hover over images in a multi-layered website. This represents the powerful synergies and overlapping entities of the old factory and the contemporary projects which it contains.
alcova.xyz - Studio Vedèt created the web identity, content strategy and interactive web platform for the legendary Milanese bar.
The project includes a series of online exhibitions featuring renowned designers, artists and writers. Each of the three exhibitions to date features a varied collection of photography, writings, fonts, drawings, tokens and etc. A bespoke visual identity for each exhibition creates an unexpected user experience.
The website – which was featured in several international magazines – is an ongoing project, growing year after year with new exhibitions.
barbasso.com - From naming, to visual identity, to wayfinding, the catalogue and the website, Studio Vedèt is designing every component of the communication strategy for Sommet, the New Salon for Contemporary Art. With only vintage imagery of the striking Hotel Maloja Palace at our disposal, we used them within a modern interface to create a contemporary experience suitable for the newborn event which will debut in St. Moritz next February.
sommet.art - A new brand born out of the company Lidi which boasts over half a century of expertise in metal carpentry. Fucina is decisively committed to experimentation and quality design. Fucina wishes to pursue new challenges through collaboration with various designers under the artistic direction of Maddalena Casadei.
In the first collection called Digest, weldings, joints, and seams disappear in in an attempt to eliminate the industrial quality of the metal in favor of a formal and visual lightness. These works embody the oxymoron of robust lightness.
Studio Vedèt drew inspiration from this vision to design the website and the catalog for the collection exhibited at Milan’s FuoriSalone 2018.
fucinadesign.com - Studio Vedèt participated in the creation of the identity and designed the online platform for Fatto-Bene, an original archive and e-commerce dedicated to the “Archetypes of Italian Everyday Life” (legendary industrial products that have stood the test of time). Thanks to its simple but strong identity, the project was internationally successful and recognised by experts of anonymous design such Jasper Morrinson, design critics like Alice Rawsthorn and has found space within the design shops of important museums.
fatto-bene.com - The collaboration with the gallery SEE••DS (SpecialEventsExhibits••DesignStore) lasted from 2016 to 2018. In those years the gallery operated a space in South Kensington bringing a contemporary project to a picturesque and traditional London district. SEE••DS moved between design and art, adopting an experimental approach which started with a physical transformation of the gallery (curated by Carol Rabolli Pansera) into two spaces (SEE and DS), distinct but adjoined, presented two different ways of exhibiting objects and works. The creative and design consultancy was started as Actant Visuelle and continued by Studio Vedèt until the summer of 2018, involving some of the most compelling contemporary designers such as: Martino Gamper, Max Lamb, Francois Dumas, Odd Matter, Pietro Russo, Max Frommeld, OS&OOS... and others.
- META - Curation, Graphic Design
The exhibition META curated by Studio Vedèt in collaboration with the galleries SEE••DS and Salvatore Lanteri, explored the theme of meta-communication.
The pieces gathered in this exhibition seemed like unusual meta-linguistic operations. It was difficult to find a precise meaning in their forms, or rather non-forms, and they appeared to be gestures or pretexts for thinking about the material they were made of – sensual pleasures in glass and gas; morbose and inextricable intertwining of cement and foam; bold chalk acrobatics; overflowing and uncontrollable ceramics; then, associations between the spheres of granite dust, marble and concrete.
Works by Odd Matter, Jochen Holz, Duccio Maria Gambi, Aneta Regel, Karin Karinson, DWA Design Studio. - Designed by De Allegri and Fogale for FuoriSalone 2017, the installation Mystical Solace was a presentation of symbolic, surreal and haptic objects. Stairs that ascend into empty space, thresholds that offer transformation, boulders that pose as talismans, stones as mirrors.
Set up like a mausoleum, a wink to spiritual allusions, the gesture was a demonstration of irony and power in the very heart of commercial Milan.
Studio Vedèt and Matteo Fiorini curated the project for Casone, a leader in mining, cutting, processing, and fabrication of stone.
360.studiovedet.com - Together with Jerszy Seymour, Erasmus Scherjon, Stephane Barbier Bouvet and Emanuele Braga, Valentina Ciuffi (now Studio Vedèt) activated and coordinated the workings of "The Wandering School". The project was a non-stop performance running continuously from April 1 to 17, 2016, (between successes and failures), by the students of the Amsterdam-based "Dirty Art Department", in conjunction with the MiArt and Salone del Mobile events in Milan. The experiment harked back to the most unconventional and radical school experiences and ironically made reference to Sidney Pollack's masterpiece They Shoot Horses, Don't they?! (This project was developed with Actant Visuelle).
Wide Eye
For the WIDE EYE exhibition, Milan based Danish/Italian design studio OLDER and Danish artist Alexander Vinther have created a series of collectible design works that reflect a playful devotion to contemporary design and its many branches.
For the first design collection of OLDER, which has specialized in uniforms for the gastronomic world since 2013, Studio Vedèt has acted as a consultant and curator introducing them to the collectible design scene and welcoming this creative bunch to Milan.

Bar Basso All Stars
The quintessential Italian bar in Milan, the city that gave the world the aperitivo: Bar Basso. A place symbolic of conviviality, service and passion, which wrote the history of drinking in Milan, thanks in part to its bartenders and waiters.
Previous virtual exhibitions we designed on the Bar website have celebrated famous people of all kinds, and all of them patrons of the Bar — from James Irvine to Sandro Pertini, from Baron Franchetti to Giovanni Trapattoni — designers, writers, brigands, taxi drivers, presidents of the Republic, and above all the people of the neighbourhood, in an assembly with no equal.
This exhibition celebrates the soul of the bar, the people who have always worked there and allow us to live it, and to relive it today, after an unexpected break that made us yearn even more for its trustworthy, everyday presence.

Far 2019
FAR is a parasitic entity — an experiment in design infiltrating Nilufar, one of most celebrated international galleries. Building on the seminal pilot project in 2018, from April ‘19 exhibition has enveloped the cavernous void of Nilufar Depot, disruptively subverting the established order of the gallery’s programs.
FAR is a voyage into a galaxy of emergent designers. It embraces the work of individuals who often operate as collectives - forming, dissolving and regrouping fluidly and open-endedly. It is a temporary collective of collectives that captures a snapshot of a new generation. FAR subliminally echoes the radical experiments of a previous generation, one that understood design as a language capable of transcending the basic logic of consumption in order to operate instead, on the level of political thought.
FAR is curated by Studio Vedèt, who also developed a visual identity inspired by the same obsessions explored by the 10 participating designers: Alberto Vitelio, Audrey Large, Bram Vanderbeke, Destroyers / Builders, Johan Viladrich, Julien Manaira, Michael Schoner, Odd Matter, Thomas Ballouhey and Wendy Andreu. FAR's exhibition design is by Space caviar.

Now in its third edition, Schloss Hollenegg for Design has invited young designers to consider the palace and its history as a means to investigate the significance of what we leave behind. The exhibition “Legacy” looks at both the past and the future to explore the importance of heritage, in personal and collective terms. Studio Vedèt conceptualized, designed and art directed the exhibition catalogue, exploring contemporary representations of the castle’s antique objects.

In the first collection called Digest, weldings, joints, and seams disappear in in an attempt to eliminate the industrial quality of the metal in favor of a formal and visual lightness. These works embody the oxymoron of robust lightness.

Meta
META - Curation, Graphic Design
The exhibition META curated by Studio Vedèt in collaboration with the galleries SEE••DS and Salvatore Lanteri, explored the theme of meta-communication.
The pieces gathered in this exhibition seemed like unusual meta-linguistic operations. It was difficult to find a precise meaning in their forms, or rather non-forms, and they appeared to be gestures or pretexts for thinking about the material they were made of – sensual pleasures in glass and gas; morbose and inextricable intertwining of cement and foam; bold chalk acrobatics; overflowing and uncontrollable ceramics; then, associations between the spheres of granite dust, marble and concrete.
Works by Odd Matter, Jochen Holz, Duccio Maria Gambi, Aneta Regel, Karin Karinson, DWA Design Studio.

Mystical Solace
Designed by De Allegri and Fogale for FuoriSalone 2017, the installation Mystical Solace was a presentation of symbolic, surreal and haptic objects. Stairs that ascend into empty space, thresholds that offer transformation, boulders that pose as talismans, stones as mirrors.
Set up like a mausoleum, a wink to spiritual allusions, the gesture was a demonstration of irony and power in the very heart of commercial Milan.
Studio Vedèt and Matteo Fiorini curated the project for Casone, a leader in mining, cutting, processing, and fabrication of stone.

The Wandering School
Together with Jerszy Seymour, Erasmus Scherjon, Stephane Barbier Bouvet and Emanuele Braga, Valentina Ciuffi (now Studio Vedèt) activated and coordinated the workings of "The Wandering School". The project was a non-stop performance running continuously from April 1 to 17, 2016, (between successes and failures), by the students of the Amsterdam-based "Dirty Art Department", in conjunction with the MiArt and Salone del Mobile events in Milan. The experiment harked back to the most unconventional and radical school experiences and ironically made reference to Sidney Pollack's masterpiece They Shoot Horses, Don't they?! (This project was developed with Actant Visuelle).
