The Torre Velasca, designed by BBPR and completed between 1954 and 1958 in Milan, is a landmark of postwar Italian architecture. Standing at around 106 meters, it is one of the few Italian examples of post-rationalist Brutalism, a rationalist approach with an undefined style, often linked to both Neoliberty and Postmodernism.

What makes the Torre Velasca monumental is its bold attempt to connect modern architecture with the historical fabric of the city. Its distinctive flared silhouette recalls the medieval towers of Lombardy, such as those of the Castello Sforzesco, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. The narrowing base and the expanded top, where the residential units are located create a striking and symbolic profile: a bridge between past and future.

Blending functionalism, expressive form, and historical memory, the Torre Velasca remains a powerful statement in the evolution of modern architecture in Italy.

Fortunato Depero (1892–1960), a leading figure of Futurism, began his collaboration with Campari in 1924, encouraged by Davide Campari. He explored the potential of advertising as the “art of the future” through posters, sketches, advertising sculptures, and collages.

The most iconic moment of this partnership came in 1932 with the creation of the conical bottle for Campari Soda—a poetic inversion of the bitter glass and the world’s first single-serve aperitif. Its label-free design highlighted the transparency and vibrant red color, while the embossed name and textured glass improved both grip and aesthetic appeal.

The installation by Eligo Studio takes its inspiration from the cocktail jigger, the unmistakable measuring tool used in mixology, here reimagined in a monumental and artistic form.

Its mirrored, multifaceted structure instantly recalls the bold geometries and striking visual contrasts typical of the Futurist aesthetic of Fortunato Depero, the artist who profoundly shaped Campari’s visual identity.

Tilted upward, the installation invites viewers to look at the Torre Velasca with fresh eyes—an architectural icon of Milan, a city with which Campari shares a deep and enduring bond.

To honor its enduring connection with art and Milan, Campari presents a mirrored installation in Piazza Velasca, designed by Eligo Studio. Inspired by the iconic advertising posters of Fortunato Depero, whose dynamic, Futurist style helped turn Campari’s imagery into art, the piece reinterprets his bold geometries, vivid colors, and energetic compositions. Tilted upward, the installation reflects the Torre Velasca, offering a fresh, unexpected perspective that plays with angles and perception.

The Best Houses Design Selection exhibition, organized by Platform and held at Palazzo della Borsa in Genova, showcased 80 single-family homes as case studies in contemporary architectural experimentation. Exploring themes like context, memory, light, and materiality, the exhibition redefines domestic space as an active site of meaning. A special edition of Platform magazine, part of the “Best Design Selection” series, was published to document the projects.

Among the invited participants, Eligo Studio, represented by co-founder Alberto Nespoli, presents Ca’ de Vignasse, a refined renovation of a 650sqm historic villa surrounded by a three-hectare park near the Arenzano Golf Club. The project opens the building to the Ligurian landscape with large apertures and enhances original features such as the bas-relief map and traditional flooring. The result is a home that embodies a thoughtful dialogue between past and present, transforming living space into an experience of memory, connection, and architectural intention.

The shapes of Intreccio’s totems are inspired by the geometric forms of Constantin Brâncuși’s works (1876–1957), the Romanian-born French artist who, with his avant-garde vision, is considered one of the most important and influential sculptors of the 20th century and a pioneer of modern sculpture.

His work is defined by the synthesis of forms, the pursuit of essence, and the masterful use of materials such as bronze, marble, and wood. Drawing inspiration from nature, spirituality, and Romanian folk traditions, Brâncuși stripped away superfluous details to create pure, essential, and archetypal shapes.

The Intrecci exhibition has been designed to highlight the symbolic value of the basket, presenting eight Totems that embody the narrative identity of various Italian regions.

These Totems become true characters, telling stories woven from craftsmanship techniques, landscapes, and plant fibers.

The goal is to go beyond stereotypes, rediscovering the past not as a mere archive but as a source of inspiration and creativity.

Intrecci is an exhibition project born from the collaboration between Fondazione Cologni and Eligo Studio, aimed at enhancing weaving as an art form; the oldest and most widespread technical skill on Earth.

Framing the exhibition is the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum, a house-museum born from an extraordinary late 19th-century collecting story.

The exhibition was presented on the occasion of the Giornate dei Mestieri d’Arte event, thanks to the support of Vacheron Constantin.

Toni Cordero (1937–2001) was an Italian architect and designer known for his experimental and poetic approach, skillfully blending industrial and artisanal materials into unique creations. His career spanned architecture, interior design, and the design of furniture and lighting.

Among his early architectural works are the executive offices of Olivetti in Ivrea, the Kenzo retail stores across Europe and the USA, and the restoration of the Palazzo del Banco Mediceo by Filarete in Via dei Bossi, Milan.

In the following years, he brought his experimental vision to the world of design, collaborating with companies such as Acerbis, Driade, Artemide, and Sawaya & Moroni.

Contessa is a modern alcove that carefully balances the tactile strength of iron and steel with the softness and lightness of textile fibers.

The structure is crafted in iron with polished steel columns, featuring solid iron elements turned and hand-forged: floral-shaped finials and glossy-finished feet that create a striking contrast with the natural hammered iron joint, enhanced by domed-head screws, also polished.

The design is completed by bespoke tassels—created by the historic Milanese workshop Passamanerie / Figli di Carlo Monti—and fabrics by C&C Milano: the bed frame and headboard cushions are upholstered in a refined striped textile, while a light drape surrounds and crowns the structure.

Triennale Milano needs no introduction — an icon of rationalist architecture and a vibrant hub of contemporary culture in the city.
Beyond its eclectic history and central role in the discourse on design and architecture, it also hosts a major international collaboration: on the first floor lies the .it pour l’art contemporain, a permanent presence within the Milanese institution since 2019, occupying a 1,300-square-meter space.

It was precisely in this space — conceived to welcome cross-disciplinary practices and artistic exploration — that MAGICIAN took shape in 2025, a project by Eligo Studio in collaboration with .

All of this is seamlessly woven into the rationalist architecture of Giovanni Muzio, who designed Triennale’s home in 1933 — a building envisioned as a place for modern culture, now increasingly open to new forms of creative contamination.
