Casati Gallery, Chicago

In September 2003 Ugo Alfano Casati added his Italian accented Casati Gallery to Chicago’s meatpacking district, contributing to the edgy neighbourhood’s growing roster of contemporary art and design venues.

Specialising in mid-20th century Italian Design, Casati Gallery illustrates the value of the most significant architects and designers of the Italian post-war period such as Angelo Mangiarotti, Andrea Branzi and Franco Albini.

Casati Gallery will be bringing a selection of Italian designs to the show, including Andrea Branzi’s Bar cabinet for LAPIS Italy; a unique sculptural design that utilises a composition of volumes that unfold to reveal a mirrored interior.
