Nacho Carbonell will present a collection of twenty new prototype pieces throughout the 625m2 surface of his solo show at the Gianfranco Ferre building in Milan. The prototypes have been developped by experimental techniques and combine thorns, gravel, filaments, bushes, resins and many more materials and textures. Diversity results from the raw and brave freedom of creation of Nacho Carbonell. The exhibition’s sheer volume and unconventional form lead a new movement in the growing design field. The show takes place at via Pontaccio 21 in MIlan and will run from the 14th of April 2010 throughout the month and has been developped in collaboration with Galleria Rossana Orlandi and Gianfranco Ferre.

For the first time in his home country,  Nacho Carbonell will present a solo exhibition of his most significant work organized by Italian curator Paolo Maistri. The show’s historic venue, “La Sala Vinçon”, is an exhibition space with roots in the first half of the 20th century that has hosted an international roster of artists and designers since 1973.  Carbonell’s exhibition will run from March 4^th to April 3^rd, 2010, at La Sala Vinçon, Passeig de Gràcia, 96, Barcelona.
