Over the years, the iconic Componibili has been reinterpreted by famous designers including Ron Arad, Nendo and Philippe Starck.

From November 15, 2017, to April 15, 2018, the Design Museum in London will host an exhibition that pays homage to the famous automobile brand, which is celebrating the 70th anniversary of its founding this year.

The wide range of exhibits in the show will include drawings, letters, hand-sculpted models in clay and wood, and memorabilia of Ferrari’s racing heritage.

“Alexander Girard, a designer’s Universe” from December 20, 2017, to March 4, 2018, at the Hangaram Art Museum in Seoul (South Korea)

Interior designer Alexander Girard will be the subject of an exhibition later this year in the “land of the morning calm.” The show will feature some of his best-known creations as well as others that have never before been displayed, including textiles, furniture, small objects, personal documents, and drawings. Brought up in Florence, Girard studied architecture in London, before embarking on a prestigious career in which he designed interiors for restaurants, companies and private clients and created some 300 fabrics for Herman Miller, which appointed him as director of its textiles division in 1951. — AFP-Relaxnews
