Three meetings dedicated to advertising graphics, interior design, product design, and all creatives who have made the image of the Ivrea factory famous throughout the world.
The third cycle of the project created in collaboration with the Adriano Olivetti Foundation comes to the MAXXI. In the panorama of Italian and world industry, Adriano’s Olivetti has become the emblem of Made in Italy, and stands out for its corporate style based on technological excellence, innovation, quality, and design, respect for the market but also its strong commitment to art and culture, to sensitivity towards social problems and the constant improvement of the relationship with employees and the territory, in an extraordinary balance between design, society, and technology.
Interior design
with Enrico Morteo
Olivetti’s design is both an ethical and aesthetic experience that permeates the Ivrea factory and affirms the presence and image of the company throughout the world. The quality of the products, visual communication, and organisation of the spaces are an innovative logic of the company as formal, functional, and technological research. Special attention is given to the care and experimentation of interior design from the office furniture, which is witness to the evolution of work, to the setting up of the showrooms in any part of the world, which are transformed into real works of art.
Inspired by his travel in America in the early 1930s, Adriano Olivetti entrusted the project to create a horizontal modern filing cabinet to Aldo Magnelli. This object was initially designed to be used within the company, and the Synthesis filing cabinet was successful on the market so much so that it was produced in series in the Massa factory, the same which would later host the production of the famous and iconic Synthesis Sistema 45 designed by Ettore Sottsass. At the same time, in the shops and showrooms throughout the world, the dialogue among the most important architects and artists of the time imprinted and personalised the avant-grade of the “Olivetti style”.
