National Museum of China, Beijing.

Great approval for Sella and Sacco, two of the most recognized pieces of Zanotta collection, at Serie Fuori Serie exhibition, set up at National Museum of China at Beijing and curated by Andrea Branzi together with Triennale Design Museum, promoted jointly by the General Directorate of Museums and Fondazione La Triennale di Milano.

The project developed to the bilateral collaboration between Italy and China sealed on October 7, 2010, when a Memorandum was undersigned about the bilateral cooperation between the two countries in the cultural promotion through thematic exhibitions.

Through a selection of 120 works, Series Off Series illustrates the contemporary scene of Italian design, which starts from experimental research to get to mass markets, using handicraft materials as well as sophisticated technology. Sella, designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni (1957) – celebrating its 60th anniversary just in 2017 – and Sacco, designed by Gatti, Paolini e Teodoro (1968) – considered one the most clever and symbolic pieces of the Italian design – represent perfectly the concept of exhibition.

The pieces are enhanced by the exhibition rational arrangement curated by Antonio Citterio.
