The year 2025 marks the centenary of the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes opened in Paris in the spring of 1925, which was the codification of a new international taste that spread through Europe in the early post-war period, defined from that moment on as 'Style 1925' or Art Deco. The exhibition presents works of art, artifacts, images, and reinterpretations of a series of historical-cultural events and artistic phenomena that unfolded in Italy and Europe in just under ten years. During this time, these influences gradually took on national characteristics, both in architecture and interiors, and in objects and furnishings, highlighting the relationship between form and function, as well as between high artistic craftsmanship and proto-Industrial Design. At the same time, an account will be given of the political-economic and cultural events that marked and influenced the decisions of that decade, during which the foundations were laid for the success of "Italian Style" within a new international taste.

An exhibition by the Municipality of Milan - Culture Area | Palazzo Reale | 24ore Cultura.
