On the occasion of the Milan Design Week - Fuorisalone 2024, opens Il Salotto Buono Cattivo, the second exhibition signed LOFT - Light On Future Topics, the line of exhibition projects of Galleria Fumagalli aimed at exploring the hyper-contemporary universe in all its creative aspects, including design.

Il Salotto Cattivo is a free, informal place open to everyone. It is a space where people meet, converse, and exchange ideas. Here, as opposed to the traditional good living room - formal and exclusive where interactions with the environment and objects are discouraged or minimized - everyone is invited to interact with the space itself and thus with the works, to appropriate them and give them ever new meaning. The rigid and set encounter here becomes spontaneous and relaxed, celebrating the very concept of the living room: the most social room in the home. It is no coincidence that the Fumagalli Gallery space, among its many lives, has also been a loft, as the signs layered on the wooden floor still testify.
In opposition to what happens in other exhibition venues, designed for contemplation and not fruition, here, the works of the 7 artists involved can be touched, moved; in a word: experienced.

The artists Pablo Bolumar Plata (Valencia, Spain, 1996), Clara Cebrián (Madrid, Spain, 1991), Nikolas Iturralde (Quito, Ecuador, 1995), Chiara Lecca (Modigliana, Italy, 1977), Luigi Pensa (Turin, Italy, 2001), Stella Stone (Milan, Italy, 1997), and Olimpia Zagnoli (Montecchio Emilia, Italy, 1984) were invited by the gallery to create ad hoc works, starting from a reflection on the furniture and objects that traditionally characterize the living room.
The collective project aims to create a meeting space primarily for the artists but also for the public, invited to enjoy and inhabit Il Salotto Buono Cattivo, a metaphor for a space of active experimentation and action rather than of well-behaved conversations.
