MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2026

During Milan Design Week 2026, Imperfettolab presents an itinerary across three locations in Milan. Its core is Imperfettogallery, in its permanent space on the Naviglio; it extends to 10 Corso Como and Next Place Brera. This is complemented by a presence at Palazzo Bovara, within the "Sensory Landscape" project by Elle Decor Italia, as an integrated contribution to the exhibition path. SODALIZI TEMPORANEI + I-LIVINGSPACE | IMPERFETTOGALLERY Within Imperfettogallery, Imperfettolab presents a selection of the most iconic and forward-thinking pieces from its collection, the result of nearly thirty years of research. In this context unfolds SODALIZI TEMPORANEI, where the new collection enters into dialogue with that of Dutch designer Ruud van Oosterhout, whose research revolves around a design in which material, proportions and volumes are meticulously defined, and with Henzel Studio, which through its Collaborations project, active for over a decade, translates works by contemporary artists into the medium of the hand-knotted rug, activating a dialogue between artistic practice and textile form. On this occasion, it presents the preview of RICHARD PRINCE, 1967, a work conceived by the artist in 2013 and now, thirteen years later, introduced for the first time as a hand-knotted rug in an edition of 20. The exhibition is completed by works from Erich Turroni and Verter Turroni, an essential presence that reinforces the central role of art within Imperfettolab’s design approach. On the first floor of the gallery, I-LivingSpace is open to visitors, an environment where the narrative shifts scale into a lived dimension. Here, Imperfettolab’s language engages with hand-knotted rugs by Calle Henzel and Olaf Breuning, alongside lighting by Pulpo, ceramics by Bosa imagined by Jaime Hayon, textiles by Innate and olfactory elements by Omatiiq, constructing a tangible vision of living and defining a domestic identity. Completing the environment are paintings by Marco Neri, which introduce a further layer of interpretation in the dialogue between art and design. Alzaia Naviglio Grande 38, Milan 20–26 April 2026 Daily opening hours vary by day. SONNAMBULO LUCIDO | 10 CORSO COMO  Imperfettolab’s presence extends into the city with SONNAMBULO LUCIDO, an installation in the mezzanine of 10 Corso Como: an invitation to discover its language, where Verter Turroni’s vision translates the brand’s creative universe into an immersive experience within one of Milan’s most iconic cultural venues. Corso Como 10, Milan 20–26 April 2026 Monday 10:00–19:30 | Tuesday-Sunday: 10:00–20:30 NEXT PLACE BRERA Next Place Brera, the core of the Next Place Hotel project, brings together an international network of protagonists around the future of hospitality spaces. The international studio OBMI, which coordinates the project, introduces indoors the B.olla mirror designed by Bruno Rainaldi for Imperfettolab and selects elements of the Imperfettolab language designed by Verter Turroni, including the Io chair and the Orghen table, while also dedicating a room to a new project by the designer developed around the dimension of rest. In the outdoor space stands Qirat, an organic seating piece designed by Elia Turroni for Imperfettolab, in limited edition. The project also unfolds through Around the City, a diffuse urban circuit, within which Imperfettogallery hosts one of the program’s events in its own space. Foro Buonaparte 70, Milan 20–25 April 2026 Daily: 10:30–18:30 Reserve a spot here “SENSORY LANDSCAPE” | PALAZZO BOVARA Within the “Sensory Landscape” project by Elle Decor Italia, conceived by Piero Lissoni, a selection of decorative elements by Imperfettolab is intended for the outdoor space, becoming part of a narrative that explores the relationship between perception, nature, and space.

SONNAMBULO LUCIDO | 10 CORSO COMO

Corso Como 10, Milan | 20–26 April 2026

Imperfettolab’s presence extends into the city with SONNAMBULO LUCIDO, an installation in the mezzanine of 10 Corso Como: an invitation to discover its language, where Verter Turroni’s vision translates the brand’s creative universe into an immersive experience within one of Milan’s most iconic cultural venues. The installation develops through cumuliform aggregations. Forms arrange themselves in space as if in a threshold state, between abandonment and control. Each element appears to emerge without intention, while maintaining a precise tension within the system. It is a condition in which vision guides the gesture without ever losing control: a subtle balance between drift and awareness. Forms transform through subtraction and reworking, retaining an archaic and imperfect materiality that opens to ever-changing configurations, shaping a language in continuous evolution. 10 CORSO COMO Corso Como 10, Milan 20–26 April 2026 Monday 10:00–19:30 | Daily: 10:00–20:30

UNEXPECTED – GIACINTO CERONE / IMPERFETTOLAB curated by Valerio Dehò

SØLO Creative Room, via Nazario Sauro 56, Pietrasanta (LU) | September 26 – October 26, 2025

SØLO Creative Studio presents the exhibition ‘UNEXPECTED – GIACINTO CERONE / IMPERFETTOLAB’, which opens as part of the 10th edition of Collectors Night in Pietrasanta, at SØLO Creative Room, Via Nazario Sauro 56, Pietrasanta (LU). The exhibition brings together the visionary design of Imperfettolab with a selection of works by Giacinto Cerone from the collections of two Italian galleries: Gasparelli Galleria, Fano (PU) and Galleria Giovanni Bonelli, Milan | Pietrasanta (LU). Art direction by Marco Martelli Ottoni | Production by SØLO creative studio Art must surprise, arrive unexpectedly, unpredictably. In both literature and the visual arts, what Roland Barthes called “the pleasure of the text” in writing is the artist's ability to take you where they want you to go, not where you are used to going. Looking is an activity of discovery, a temporary journey into a dimension that we do not fully know, that we can intuit, but that reveals itself starting from something, a detail, a form that attracts us without knowing why. There must always be a deviation, a clinamen that leads the atoms of the gaze towards something unexpected. The rest is regularity, canon, standard, at best. Art history is often easily satisfied; art historians, like biologists, seek genetic lines, often mortifying consanguinity, because they attribute to art a sort of chromosomal necessity, a chain of causes and effects that can at best excite scientists or puzzle enthusiasts. Art is something else; it is always on the side of the children and not the fathers. But what links a group of artists and designers to an extraordinary personality such as Giacinto Cerone? Everything and nothing. Everything because both have always sought to reveal the hidden forms that lurk in the infinity of the world. They have read reality as a reflection of their own minds, with a curiosity about what could ultimately be seen and touched, which even they did not know exactly. Can one draw on the dreamlike without being surrealist? Yes, certainly. This is why Imperfettolab does not count the legs of a table, does not draw on the functionality of chairs or armchairs to create something that is comfortable, does not confuse the Idea with Ikea. Giacinto Cerone, known as one of the greatest Italian ceramists after Leoncillo, also created marbles in which the figurative threshold always appears in perfect harmony with the material. The vibration of the materials in the sculptor gives us profound insights, unexpected echoes, desires to participate in the ecstasy of forms. It would seem that the distance from Imperfettolab is definitive, but instead it reopens by hinting at surprise, at the denial of cause and effect, at the revelation of hidden forms. Shows are fine for other things, but works of art need a kind of intimacy that draws us in. Contrast and the impossible arise from the fact t . hat we perceive the worlds that art presents to us as our own, without knowing why. Perhaps it is Jungian synchronicity that causes the gaze of the audience to meet that of the works. I cannot explain it any other way, but in fact, from Mallarmé and Duchamp onwards, we have simply called it “hasard”. It is as if artists, even when they make something recognisable such as a sculpture or a piece of furniture, indicate to us that what we have before us is not exactly what we think we are looking at. They leave us with the uncertainty of what is not yet visible. Art is based on this indeterminacy, and so is much of the physical world. So said 20th-century science. Cerone's convulsive visionary nature suspends forms a moment before chaos. Imperfettolab's unreason suspends its immobility in a probabilistic space where the unexpected is at home

Milano Design Week 2025

During Milano Design Week 2025, Imperfettolab celebrates the first anniversary of Imperfettogallery, its exhibition space located on the Naviglio Grande. The occasion will be marked by a new series of their Sodalizi Temporanei, artistic collaborations that connect different disciplines and languages. The ground floor gallery hosts Sodalizi Temporanei in galleria. Imperfettogallery invites Henzel Studio to a creative dialogue between Calle Henzel's monumental rugs and the imposing sculptural works of Verter and Erich Turroni, creating an environment filled with unconventional synergy. This collaboration extends beyond the Navigli, establishing a new setup at Carlocinque Gallery in Brera, where Henzel Studio's textiles, featuring exclusive contemporary art designs, interact with a selection of limited-edition pieces from Imperfettolab's new collection.  On the upper floor, Imperfettogallery opens up the I-living space, to welcome visitors into a more intimate dimension that reveals its own concept of habitat. In this cozy, domestic atmosphere, surrounded by artworks, Imperfettolab's primordial design redefines the aesthetics and functionality of the space. The living space hosts a selection from Bosa’s collection, signed by Jaime Hayon, olfactory furnishings from Omatiiq, and a sound installation in collaboration with Soundohm, transforming the environment into sensory experiences. The encounter between Imperfettolab, Omatiiq, and Bosa will give life to Sodalizi Temporanei in studio, at the ARPConcept space on Via Fiori Chiari, Brera. — Imperfettogallery | Alzaia Naviglio Grande 38, Milano | 8 - 13 Aprile 2025 | h 11 am - 6 pm  CARLOCINQUE Gallery | Via dell’Annunciata 31, Milano | 8 - 13 aprile 2025 | h 11.30 am - 7.30 pm   ARPConcept | Via Fiori Chiari 12, Milano | 8 - 13 aprile 2025 | h 11 am - 6 pm

Salone del Mobile.Milano 2025

Rho Fiera Milano | 8 -13 April 2025 | Hall 24 - Stand C35

Imperfettolab returns to Salone del Mobile, 2025 edition, with its own world that blends nature and illusion, matter and artifice, skilful craftsmanship and dreamlike dimension. The design of Imperfettolab takes shape within a new, vast space that encloses and reveals its vision in two different areas, guiding visitors through a dual experience. The first area, open and bright, is dedicated to the heritage of Imperfettolab. Visitors are invited to contemplate from every angle the most iconic pieces, which appear to be suspended while elevated on platforms of various heights. The second area is encapsulated by walls, preserving the more intimate side of Imperfettolab. Beyond these walls, in three cozy and evocative rooms, guests will experience a dedicated journey and will be able to embrace the concept of habitat according to Imperfettolab's philosophy. Between the two areas stands UNO once again: a sculptural figure of a ram, symbol of genesis and rebirth, appearing as if in contemplation of the space from a privileged position.
