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 

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.

We are pleased to present an installation by Verter Turroni, realized in collaboration with Kalkeriet Contemporary, alongside ’Henzel Studio Collaborations: 1st Decade’ and in conjunction with Frieze Los Angeles at PDC Design Gallery (formerly MOCA’s West Hollywood space). Marking ten years of Henzel Studio’s artist-designed rugs, the exhibition features over 25 works, including new collaborations with John Waters, Mickalene Thomas, and Anselm Reyle, expanding the boundaries of textile-based artistic practice. The accompanying works by Verter Turroni introduce a sculptural counterpoint, bridging textile compositions and object-based forms. This presentation highlights the interplay between artistic disciplines, reinforcing design’s essential role in contemporary visual culture. The exhibition also includes works by Vanessa Beecroft, Richard Bernstein, Olaf Breuning, Nan Goldin, Marilyn Minter, Tony Oursler, Richard Prince, Mickalene Thomas, Andy Warhol, and more. Curated by Joakim Andreasson. Designed in collaboration with Calle Henzel. https://vimeo.com/1055999721?share=copy
