Vico Magistretti and Japan
16.04.2026–25.02.2027
Fondazione studio museo Vico Magistretti, Milano


ECAL Bachelor Industrial Design students present miniature versions of furniture pieces designed by Vico Magistretti in the exhibition Vico Magistretti and Japan in Milan.


The Vico Magistretti Foundation presents Vico Magistretti and Japan, an exhibition exploring the affinities, conceptual correspondences and formal references between Japanese aesthetics and the work of the Milanese architect and designer Vico Magistretti (1920–2006).

This exhibition is the first outcome of a research project led by ECAL, in collaboration with the Vico Magistretti Foundation.

On display are archival materials (drawings, photographs, objects, videos), the miniature versions of the designer’s furniture produced by ECAL’s Bachelor Industrial Design students, and the illustrations of Magistretti’s Japanese architectures by Dogma.
