WORKSHOPS
Purple Book Meets Green Bottle

Olimpia Zagnoli was born in Reggio Emilia, Italy. After years of scribbling she became an illustrator and now collaborates The New York Times, The New Yorker, La Repubblica, Prada, Taschen among others. Soft shapes and chameleonic colours inform her style. She lives in Milan in a house with kaleidoscopic floors.
Shy, small and fragile exhibitions at home
with Giulio Iacchetti, designer
Become curators of small domestic exhibitions with materials you can find at home. Easy to set up and dismantle, these micro-exhibitions have a low environmental impact but a high lateral thinking factor… Why not give it a try?”
Giulio Iacchetti has been designing objects since he was a kid, and it became his job in 1992. He loves to design, experiment, curate exhibitions, to learn, write and create small objects and models – mainly out of wood – with his own two hands.
