Venice: 60th Anniversary of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. A group of young designers,
Sam, Marta, Francesca, Valentina and
Carine at
Fabrica, the
Benetton Group’s communications research center, have designed a new collection of items for the museum shop of the Venice based
Peggy Guggenheim Collection, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
Who is Peggy is a mini collection of objects and accessories inspired by
Peggy Guggenheim, a definitive figure in the history of art.
A detail. Underlining Peggy’s desire to explore new forms of art are a series of colored notebooks with figures, which seem to move and bags silk- screened with black and white photographed moments from her life. An elegant ceramic typewriter and secret container symbolize Peggy’s passion for letter writing, while two amusing ceramic bowls represent her love of lapdogs, her inseparable life companions.
