On the occasion of the Milan Design Week, Giustini/Stagetti exclusively presents two limited- edition furniture pieces by Konstantin Grcic: Entitled Ceci n’est pas un mur, the show at NFQ ironically makes reference to Magritte’s famous painting of a pipe which is known to be an image of a pipe and not the object itself. By referring to Magritte, Grcic provokes us to question our perception of the objects that surround us. Both projects, DAYBED and WALL, extrapolate the classical format of furniture to the scale of micro-architecture. The pieces not only furnish a space, they each create a space in their own right.

About
Giustini / Stagetti
Giustini / Stagetti was founded in Rome in 2009 by Roberto Giustini and Stefano Stagetti. The gallery specializes in both twentieth century Italian design and in International contemporary design. Research on modern design focuses on the masters of italian architecture and decorative arts between the 1930s and 1970s with a particular emphasis on authors such as Franco Albini, Gio Ponti, Gino Sarfatti, Ettore Sottsass. The gallery is also dedicated to the research into the Venetian glass production from the 1910s through the 1960s. The promotion of contemporary design consists in inviting authors to create limited edition collections designed exclusively for the gallery, giving a personal interpretation of the cultural and traditional craftmanship Italian techniques. Since 2011 collaborations have followed one another with Campana Brothers, Konstantin Grcic Andrea Anastasio, Formafantasma, Giacomo Moor, Umberto Riva, Anton Alvarez and Francesco Faccin. Giustini/Stagetti regularly collaborates with museums and public institutions to support and promote the designers and their work.
