About
Nestled in the industrious Milan, LABO derives its name from its location. In 1947, Prof. Rodolfo Ferrari established SPA Società Prodotti Antibiotici and became the first to produce antibiotics in Italy. Several years later, his granddaughter Aliseé Matta, herself a creator, decided to dedicate the now unused Pharmacology section and other unused spaces to promote creation in the broad sense.
Concept
Marked by a long friendship, she entrusted Elsa Lemarignier and Francois Leblanc di Cicilia with the responsibility of promoting this new venture. Surpassing the time capsule effect caused by the buildings and some rooms, we are quickly caught by the power of architectures, and the breath of life of machines still on site.The curator's choice will be based on this climate of work, wealth creation and research. Alterity of forms and time, diversity of materials; in short, an exhaustive representation of a time of design, its richness in the respect of know-how and designers or craftsmen forms the guiding line of the presentation. Authentic, historic and contemporary creations will enable visitors to embrace 50 years of design, to discover new talents and demanding editors, attentive to the beautiful gesture.
