DESIGNERS

Listening and observing as cultural roots of design. The thought of Federico Peri
by Federica Capoduri

Federico Peri is a young designer, born in Venice, who has always been fascinated by objects’ shapes; after his university studies in Milan, he moved to Paris and began his professional career by becoming passionate about interior design, with an approach that straddles history and contemporary. Back in Milan, in 2011 he opened his own studio and started to collaborate with major international furniture and fashion brands, ranging from retail concept to private homes to product design. Nominated by AD France as one of the 100 best designers of the year.


DESIGNING LIGHT

The permanent exhibition of the new National Museum of Norway, Oslo
by Massimo Iarussi

The new National Museum in Oslo was established in 2003 by the merging of four existing state museums: the National Gallery of Norway, the Museum of Architecture, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.  The building, completed in 2020, is the largest museum in the Nordic region: a total area of more than 54,000 square meters, of which 10,000 for permanent exhibition, distributed in 86 rooms, and 3,000 dedicated to temporary exhibitions. The prestigious project was entrusted to an Italian team, composed by Guicciardini & Magni Architetti for the exhibition design, Studio Massimo Iarussi for the lighting design, Rovai Weber Design for the graphics and Innovision for the multimedia installations. We asked Massimo Iarussi, whom we thank, to tell the readers of LUCE the path, the dynamics, the results, and the success of this project.
