The exhibition La sedia infinita (The Infinite chair), presented by Milan’s ADI Design Museum and curated by architect Maite García Sanchis, will take visitors on a journey through 70 years of design history. Scheduled for October 9–11 at the Rimini Expo Centre, the exhibition is taking place as part of the 61st TTG – InOut, Italy’s premier tourism and hospitality trade event, organized by Italian Exhibition Group.
The exhibition, which comprises 40 chairs created by such design masters as Gio Ponti and Gaetano Pesce, bears witness to the social, economic, and technological changes of the last 70 years, parallel to the Compasso d’Oro award. This event will highlight these icons of Italian design, while offering a thorough overview of the history of the chair from the perspectives of everyday life and industrial design.
TTG – InOut 2024 will also host the first edition of the ADI InOut Hospitality Design Award, a prize intended to recognize excellence in the design of hospitality spaces, with the focus on the innovation, functionality, and aesthetics of the projects presented.
The theme of TTG – InOut 2024 is “Veritas” – an invitation to reflect on truth and authenticity in both design and hospitality. In an industry like hospitality, in which the guest experience is all-important, The Infinite Chair offers professionals a unique opportunity to explore the potential of design to enhance this overall experience.
As symbols of innovation, functionality, and design, chairs can shape our perception and experience of spaces. The exhibition will showcase each chair along with a short phrase and a symbol intended to contextualize its value within an overall narrative in which every element tells a story – much like a piece in the puzzle of the long tradition of research and innovation.
“The chair is seen as a timeless archetype that can assume multiple forms and be made of multiple materials. Visitors will be able to delve into the different themes we’ve used to group the chairs, and learn about the particular characteristics of each in terms of design, production, and how it relates to users. In this way, we’re clearly showing the fundamental role chairs have in affecting the way we experience an environment because of their formal and symbolic characteristics, as well as their role in the evolution of design and industrial production.”
