Casalgrande Padana Opens a New Creative Center in Milan where Ceramics and Architecture Meet
Milan’s Creative Centre is in Piazza San Marco in the Brera Design District, the city’s beating heart renowned for its charming atmosphere rich in cultural, architectural and historical contaminations. This space allows Casalgrande Padana to showcase its unique offering and discuss projects with architects, interior designers, planners and researchers. It’s a place where ideas, experiences and projects can be shared, unlocking creativity and innovation.
In Piazza San Marco 1, the new 250-square-meter space is in a building designed between 1969 and 1971 by Vico Magistretti. This mixed-use complex in the heart of Brera occupies a block between via Solferino, via Pontaccio, via Ancona and Piazza San Marco. It’s an iconic example of early ‘70s Milanese architecture, combining tradition and a contemporary touch that stands out for its dark red façades and white pillars and structural elements. The pitched roofs that follow the L-shaped plan are interrupted by a tower set back from the roof eaves, ending in an effective system of suspended loggias.
