Terrazza Triennale, the magnificent rooftop of the renowned Palazzo dell’Arte, home of Triennale Milano designed by architect Giovanni Muzio in the early 1930s, reopens. This terrace presents a striking panorama that is divided between history and innovation – on one side Castello Sforzesco and on the other the skyscrapers that interpret the rapid development of the Lombard capital.
Triennale represents on the international scene a cultural pole, a place of art, performance and, above all, design and architecture, so much so that it has become the home of the Museum of Italian Design: a prestigious and permanent exhibition that displays and narrates the most iconic and representative pieces of this sector, a source of pride for our country.
Triennale Milano therefore represents a true point of reference for Milanese culture, proposing itself, thanks also to its beautiful Terrace, as a pleasant meeting place for visitors of all ages.
The elegant, welcoming, recognisably stylish but unobtrusive spaces of the Terrace were designed in 2015 by the OBR studio of Paolo Brescia and Tommaso Principi. Compass Group Italia, the company responsible for its management, has recently redesigned the interiors in order to create visual and structural continuity with the external landscape. In this renewed context, Pedrali furnishings have found their natural setting: the Nemea chairs by CMP Design, a collection of seats whose shape recalls the idea of classical gracefulness moulded by time and history, chosen in a finish that recalls the parquet flooring of the hall. Completing the environment is the Arki-table, with a blue Fenix top, linear and rigorous from a structural point of view but at the same time versatile and imagined for different situations of use. Present with a round top, to seat 4 to 6 people, and rectangular for larger groups.
In addition to the restyling, Terrazza Milano has revamped its menu concept, entrusted to the consultancy of Michelin-starred chef Tommaso Arrigoni and implemented by Albano Rrapi, former executive chef at Ducasse, Cracco, and Bartolini.The type of menu, which varies with each season, is inspired by the cornerstones of Italian cuisine, particularly Milanese and the surrounding area.
Once again, especially on the Milanese scene, culture and cuisine intersect in a path that sees foundations, museums and cultural institutions focus on haute cuisine, integrating quality gastronomic proposals with the world of art and design.
