For pba such responsibility is the starting point for taking action: ethics even before use, and morality is part of how things are done. The responsibility of a product lies with whoever designs it and manufactures it.

Francesca Masiero, pba’s President:“pba is a proud women owned and women led company. We are grateful to Gensler, the leading architectural firm in the world, for opening to pba, an excellence in manufacturing, the door of The Museum of Modern Art”. 

“pba creates inclusive design in a work environment that cannot be anything but inclusive and equal: we reward excellence in quality and in relationships, we are every day aware that people are our most important assets. We are proud that MoMA accepted pba donation placing our Hand Sanitizer Covers created in collaboration with Gensler serving as product design consultant throughout the Museum. To portray the Hand Sanitizer Cover in the halls of MoMA we looked for a point of view that would combine executive excellence with inclusive vision and we met Federica Carlet, a photographer of Italian origins who lives and works in New York City. Federica gave us an additional emotion by giving birth to her child just a few days before the shooting”. Erica Anesi, pba’s CEO.

When the best intentions are the reason for doing, exchanging thoughts, actions and missions are with the best people: people who always wanted to make the world a better place, even when it was not trending; designers who, while designing a product, are from the start concerned with the water of the river – that they want to drink again, with the fish in the sea – that they want to see jump, with the life of the people involved who they want to make feel included and valued. Only by working with the best people, who know that behaving in one way rather than another can change the world for better or worse, can these and other new, increasingly ambitious and sustainable goals, be achieved.

“The Museum of Modern Art is committed to being a leader in sustainability and the intelligent use of resources,” said Jean Savitsky, Director, Real Estate and Sustainability at The Museum of Modern Art. “We are proud to work with pba, who shares the same commitment to sustainability, to install their hand sanitizer covers throughout the Museum.”

“We are pleased to partner with MoMA in weaving their efforts to prioritize health and well-being with a visually integrated experience for visitors and staff” says Maddy Burke-Vigeland, Gensler Principal.

The Hand Sanitizer Cover collection has been awarded the METROPOLIS LIKESNYCXDESIGN. 

The collection is made of 316L stainless steel with 25% post-consumer recycled content and is available in different models — including ADA-compliant models —  and finishes. The Hand Sanitizer Covers have been designed and produced to be fully disassembled, therefore 100% recyclable at the end of their useful life.

Elisabetta Sgarbi, Direttore Artistico La Milanesiana, spiega: “Il tema di questa edizione è Omissioni. Quello che avremmo dovuto e potuto fare e non abbiamo fatto, che avremmo potuto e dovuto dire e non abbiamo detto. Un tema che ha una gamma vastissima di declinazioni: morali, politiche, giuridiche, estetiche, anche: non esiste letteratura senza Omissioni, come insegnava Eco. E La Rosa contempla i colori dell’Ucraina. Non abbiamo potuto e voluto sottrarci al rumore della storia, e questa guerra, come anche altre guerre, entrerà in questa Milanesiana. Sarà una Milanesiana che viaggia, in venti città, ma con un maggiore radicamento a Milano (e in molti luoghi della città, più o meno centrali), rispetto a quanto accaduto negli ultimi due anni, a causa dell’emergenza COVID-19 (ma abbiamo l’orgoglio di non avere mai smesso di sottolineare l’importanza degli incontri in presenza e di avere tentato sempre di offrirli, anche nei momenti più difficili). Tornano alla Milanesiana artisti di altri continenti.  E c’è – tra le altre – la letteratura russa, di una grande scrittrice russa, Ludmila Ulitskaya, che dialogherà con scrittrici di altre latitudini culturali, come è giusto e normale che sia. Lei vuole la Pace, che in questo momento vuol dire almeno questo: sapere che c’è un aggressore e un aggredito”.

Their evolution has been focusing on the increasingly adventurous ways metal finishes can be used, giving exciting examples of mesh architectural elements and metal sculptural effects.

We have been all more than accustomed to the clean look of classic satin or to the elegant black emerging in the last couple of years, but the modern-classic look of gold and copper finish, satin or bright is becoming a new trend.

Door hardware in pure copper has been a particularly strong interior design trend this year due to its antimicrobial properties, but also the copper anodized finish, bringing warmth and a sophisticated glow to the office interior design, is becoming more popular.

Gold and copper finishes have been an icon throughout different industries, such as textiles and homes for some years, and we are now seeing such trends come through office interiors. Gold and copper door hardware blend into the luxurious and precious appeal of the metallic yarn, component of the furniture or the textile.

La rosa e le due sigle della Milanesiana

La rosa dipinta da Franco Battiato, che accompagna La Milanesiana sin dalla prima edizione, è stata rielaborata anche quest’anno da Franco Achilli.

Due sigle degli Extraliscio saranno la colonna sonora anche quest’anno de La Milanesiana: Il Ballo della Rosa e Milanesiana di Riviera. Quest’ultimo brano è tratto da “E’ bello perdersi”, l’album edito da Betty Wrong edizioni musicali uscito lo scorso marzo. Al gruppo romagnolo è dedicato il film di Elisabetta Sgarbi, “Extraliscio. Punk da balera – si ballerà finché entra la luce dell’alba” che uscirà il 14 giugno in 120 sale cinematografiche italiane, in collaborazione con Nexo Digital.
