Cento % Dino - widespread exhibition tribute to Dino Gavina on the year of the centenary of his birth
From an idea by historic Italian design brand Paradisoterrestre, Cento % Dino: a widespread exhibition tribute to the revolutionary entrepreneur Dino Gavina (1922-2007), on the year of the centenary of his birth.
In collaboration with the Municipality of Bologna, the exhibition is organized into a polyphony of events in significant places throughout the city and - aware of the impossibility of circumscribing his personality - it offers an opportunity to appreciate selected distinctive traits of Paradisoterrestre founder, in a choral narrative made up of objects, values and ideals.
It is no coincidence that the first name Dino appears in the title, to underline how much his personal characteristics as a catalyst for creativity and as a subversive - as he described himself in his business card - have been relevant in the many entrepreneurial adventures (Gavina, Flos, Simon, Sirrah, Paradisoterrestre,…) which have contributed to writing the history of design.
A personal and professional history made up of relationships with some of the most important figures in the world of culture and design such as Carlo Scarpa, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Ignazio Gardella, Kazuhide Takahama, Marcel Breuer, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Lucio Fontana, Roberto Matta, Tobia Scarpa, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Enzo Mari,… but also with a city, Bologna, which today pays homage to his uniqueness.
