Felicia Ferrone, STILL NOW. The Dinner, Milan Design Week 2023

Felicia Ferrone, Associate Professor of Industrial Design, presented her iconic glassware collections at her first solo exhibition at Milan Design Week 2023.

STILL NOW. The Dinner is an artistic interpretation of dinner, with inspirations from Renaissance banquets, still life paintings of the 1600s, and contemporary art references come together to explore themes of memory, emotion, and sustainability:

"These objects from the early part of the 20th century—found in flea markets and secondhand shops—capture ‘Neo-Grannyism’ as an exploration of memory, form, and revalorization to emphasize how good design is a value that transcends obsolescence and our throwaway culture.”
