Since he moved to Los Angeles 17 years ago, his goal has always been to tell and explain Italian design to the American public. Now that he has been officially named the 2021 ambassador of Italian design, artist Mattia Biagi decided, as a first step, to set up the exhibition A Journey Through Italian Design, at the Italian Cultural Institute in Westwood.
From the Proust chair created in 1978, to the mini-kitchen designed by Joe Colombo in 1963, the exhibition, curated by the artist born and raised in Ravenna, collects iconic creations by Italian designers and companies from the 1940s to today.
