Buy Aldo Cibic / 61

With his show at Galleria Antonia Jannone, Cibic reiterates his chosen career as an architect-entrepreneur and launches into e-commerce.

The idea of the architect-entrepreneur is in Aldo Cibic’s Dna and has been since the 1908s. Just remember Standard, the first self-made collection presented to the public in his loft-home in Milan.

In this period of makers and the rediscovered values of craftsmanship, his show at Galleria Antonia Jannone – which ironically puts a “buy” instead of a “by” in front of his name, as if the designer was on sale – represents a continuity of his vocation, midway between creativity and entrepreneurship. The pieces “buy Aldo Cibic” – armchairs, sofas, lamps, tables and window displays – become products thanks to the masterly skills of Italian craftsmen, personally selected over the years by the designer for their capabilities in the precise processing of the best materials. They will be sold online (www.buyaldocibic.com as of May).

“Quando vengo chiamato a progettare una casa o magari un albergo mi capta spesso di disegnare spesso anche pezzi di arredamento, accessori e oggetti d’arte. Scelgo con cura i materiali con cui realizzarli e gli artigiani per produrli. “Buy Aldo Cibic Objects and Art” in sintesi è questo, la possibilità di rendere disponibili oggetti di questa natura. L’e-commerce mi permette di farlo per chiunque sia interessato, indipendentemente dal luogo in cui si trova. Ma soprattutto permette ad artigiani straordinari – spesso sconosciuti e non inseriti nei canali distributivi – di connettersi con il mercato a prezzi accessibili.
