CASAHARI ART TOUR

During the time that the Salone de Milano and MIART last, there is life, a lot of life, beyond the confines of these fairs; creativity spreads throughout the city, flooding every corner with irresistible proposals. One of the most interesting experiences has been the tour that Casahari –the project of Inés Ybarra
and Olivia Sartogo – designer tables that are more than just decorative objects – were organised by some of the most important art and design galleries on the Milanese scene today to showcase their pieces: ArtNoble , Ciaccia Levi , Gregor Staiger , NP-ArtLab and Tommaso Calabro were the chosen venues.

Led by the prestigious curator and contemporary art consultant Margherita Castiglioni, and under the title Casahari Art Tour , the KT64 lacquered tables in different colours, one of the firm's most emblematic models, were integrated alongside carefully selected works from various exhibitions, thus establishing an interesting combination of art and design, where one complemented the other. In this way, these pieces of furniture transcended their natural habitat, the home, to become part of an experience
immersive, providing a different approach to artistic exploration.

ARTNOBLE

In Un letto di frasche , the solo exhibition of
Giulia Mangoni in collaboration with the architect Valerio Panella,
Through a magical-realistic vision, the rural world was explored and

sculptures by Luca Staccioli, through which the artist establishes a
dialogue with his child alter ego (and that we can see in the
image with Matthew Noble and Baia Curioni, founder and employee of
the gallery, respectively).

Gregor Staiger

Originally from Switzerland, this gallery has recently opened its second location in Milan, where visitors could admire the surprising works of Lucy Stein that made up the exhibition She the cat's mother, a set of paintings and tiles created from the study of Celtic and European mythologies.

that mixes ancient wisdom and contemporary discourse.

TOMMASO CALABRO

"My life is a search for the ridiculous image," said William N. Copley
(1919-1946), writer, gallery owner, patron, publisher and painter. Copley developed a distinctive style that moved between pop art and figurative art, characterized by bold contour lines, bright colors and comic-book-inspired motifs. Some of his works can be seen until June 22 at the Tommaso Calabro gallery, which perfectly accompany the blue model KT64 by Casahari.

NPART-LAB

The Stargazers II exhibition reflected on the link between art and astronomy through the works of both historical and contemporary creators. Two works by Lucio Fontana stood out: an installation reproducing the pattern of the Galassia Fabric combined with blotting paper and an engraving on silk that refers to celestial constellations (in the image, sharing space with a black KT64 table by Casahari).

CIACCIA LEVI

The burgundy KT64 table by Casahari (next to which the firm's founders, Olivia Sartogo and Inés Ybarra, pose) accompanied the exhibition To those who have quite had his fill of Gorgo , in which the artist Zoe Williams mixes natural forms and everyday objects through her paintings and video installations, creating her own imaginary universe where the occult, surrealism and eroticism reign.

Margaret Castiglioni

She is one of the leading figures of a new generation of contemporary art curators in Milan who are making a lot of noise. Despite her youth, she has a solid track record in the sector as co-founder of The Incipit Club and Armada Milano, as well as an independent consultant. Her contributions promise to further enrich the cultural landscape of the city.
