In a celebration of modern and contemporary Italian design, Forma & Estetica at Carpenters Workshop Gallery brings together leading figures in the field, exploring how beauty and function intersect in a world shaped by industry, urbanisation and cultural tradition.
The exhibition features contemporary artists Vincenzo De Cotiis and Giacomo Ravagli alongside iconic 20th-century designers such as Gio Ponti, Gabriella Crespi, Emilio Lancia, Cesare Leonardi, Franca Stagi, Mario Gottardi, Studio BBPR, and Ico and Luisa Parisi.
Milan-based Vincenzo De Cotiis creates sculptural pieces that blur the lines between art and architecture. His DC1909A Chandelier is inspired by Japanese chochin lanterns, reinterpreting their traditional form with Murano glass and brass, while DC2101 Coffee Table uses hand-finished patinas and antique bronze surfaces to reflect on history and materiality.

About
Carpenters Workshop Gallery
From Functional Art to Collectible Design, today Carpenters Workshop Gallery produces and exhibits functional art by international artists or designers, both rising and established, going outside their traditional territories of expression. Actively involved in the research and production of limited edition works, the gallery’s choices are guided by seeking an emotional, artistic and historical relevance; a relevance that must appear evident.
