Migliore+Servetto Architects

Ico Migliore and Mara Servetto, Migliore+Servetto Architects, design spaces at different scales conceived as active communication interfaces between institutions, businesses, and people, where the lightness of design is combined with an expressive use of light and new technologies. They have received numerous international awards and recognitions including the XXI and XXIII Compasso d’Oro ADI. Among their recent projects are the new Chopin Muzeum in Warsaw, the new Mondadori stores, the traveling exhibition Coats! 60 Years of Italian Fashion for Max Mara (Berlin, Tokyo, Beijing, Moscow), and the exhibition In Equilibrio, dedicated to Herb Ritts, at Palazzo della Ragione in Milan. They are also creative advisors for the new Museo Egizio in Turin, for which they designed the new logo, the coordinated image, the exhibition graphics for all spaces, and the special setups for the eight thematic areas. Together with Italo Lupi, in May 2014 they won the competition for the permanent exhibition of the new Museo della Collezione del Compasso D’oro ADI in Milan, at the spaces of the Ex Centrale Enel, and for Expo 2015, they created the Boulevard delle Bandiere installation spread throughout the historic center of Milan.

Both are visiting professors in Japan, Ico Migliore at the Tokyo Zokei University and the Kuwazawa Design School in Tokyo, Mara Servetto at the Joshibi University in Tokyo.
