More than 100 pieces are on display, including design objects (lecterns, bookcases, bookmarks, etc) and furnishings, designed by the most influential players of our times on the international design scene. Amongst these designers are grand masters such as Cini Boeri, Gae Aulenti, Giotto Stoppino, Franco Raggi, Giulio Iacchetti, Martí Guixé, Gabriele Pezzini, Matteo Ragni, Paul Cocksedge, Ross Lovegrove and Marco Ferreri.

Curated by Beppe Finessi, the exhibition interprets the book as not only a container of words, but also as a universe of objects and design actions. The show runs until 6 May 2013.
