โForme mobiliโ
๐ @triennalemilano
โณ Until April 13 2025
โForme mobili is an invitation to think of movement as a design action. It explores the relationships between body and silhouette, gesture and structure, in a path in which objects from the collections of Triennale are organized in ten sections and in which the chosen themes represent constants in Italian design. Three new areas of research and dissemination enrich the collections: fashion, which in each section is related to the museumโs works by compositional assonances between forms, materials, historical periods and design ideas; boating, with drawings and models of boats, between ingenuity, technology and interior culture; and illustration and drawing for magazines and newspapers. The itinerary culminates in the Design Platform, a dynamic space dedicated to temporary exhibitions of contemporary designers and new forms, where there is an exhibition on fashion designer Monica Bolzoni.โ

๐ The Gherpe table lamp stands out for its shell-like shape and the use of methacrylate. It is one of the first examples of an interactive luminous object.

๐ Gherpe
Table lamp designed by Superstudio
.
The Gherpe table lamp does not belong to the traditional typologies of lighting fixtures placed on a surface, due to its form like the shell of a marine creature, and to its use of an industrial material like methacrylate. It represents one of the first examples of an interactive luminous object, which thanks to its relationship with the user is capable of changing its tone: from white light for illumination, to colored light to alter the emotional perception of a space.
