Acerbis, the restart
At the Salvioni showroom, on Via Durini, Acerbis presents Mirror Reflections, an installation featuring products from the Remasters collection and a tribute to the great masters who are part of Acerbis’ heritage. The installation, designed by creative directors Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces, is a tribute to Nanda Vigo, who started collaborating with Acerbis in the 1970s. The installation is a play of mirrors that transform the space into an intersection of fragments and distortions, featuring the graphic geometry of Roberto Monsani’s Life system and Lodovico Acerbis and Giotto Stoppino’s Med chair.

The Materic table, designed by Piero Lissoni for Porro, is made of reclaimed wood, with a totally natural finish, requiring extremely sophisticated, robotic technology.
