WELCOME BACK TO EVERYBODY!
This year, too, Corraini begins a new publishing season with many events, news and books, such as Festivaletteratura and:
"A new editorial initiative, casting a critical and free-thinking eye over the design scene, architecture and art". That is how Inventario defines itself, a new publishing concept taking the best of ideas from “book “ and “magazine”, created and managed by Beppe Finessi, edited by Corraini, promoted and supported by Foscarini.
Inventario will be making its debut on 26 August 2010 at 6 pm at the premises of the Venice Biennale at Ca’ Giustinian as part of the 12th International Exhibition of Architecture.

The laser printer is at the ready and the spiral book binder too. Indeed everything is ready for the new 121+ bookshop’s first instant book. Just knocked up today for this evening’s opening: a colouring book full of illustrations, graphic designs and drawings by our artist friends. Along with our enthusiasm go our many thanks!
"A work of Persol" was launched on 16 June at Art Basel 2010. Its 17 specially commissioned works of art complement the famous eyewear company’s dedication to art and style. With a preface by Achille Bonito Oliva and illustrations by Harriet Russell.
