Italian Design and the Photography of Aldo and Marirosa Ballo. Presenting more than 350 photographs from the Ballos, outstanding objects from international collections, publications, documents and movies, the exhibition is a panorama of a great period in design with fascinating insights into the relationship between the object and medium through which it's captured.
In the second half of the 20th century, Italian design achieved worldwide recognition.
The Milanese photographers Aldo and Marirosa Ballo played a considerable role in this
success with their photographs of classic pieces designed by Colombo, Sottsass and other
reputable designers of that era.
