Giulio Cappellini, curator of I-MADE 2019, with the collaboration of designer Leonardo Talarico, has selected a series of iconic pieces by the top Italian brands. The leitmotiv of this selection is represented by Revolutionary Icons: design icons that represented a revolution in the world of design and redefined our living habits when they were launched.
