Five small architectures in wood tell of the meeting between Ettore Sottsass’s thinking, the NUMA project led by Roberto Zani and the craftsmanship of Atelier Rivadossi. At Ruaconfettora, Agata, Agnese, Rosalia, Teresa and Zita become the centre of an exhibition devoted to the objects we choose to keep and to the things we keep inside them.

Designed in 2004, the Scatole Segrete bring a language of geometry, woods and colour into the domestic landscape. The exhibition also reveals the bond between this project, Brescia and its craft knowledge.
