Property of Sergio Asti. A Design Heritage

FRAGILE Milano stages a monographic exhibition dedicated to Sergio Asti, retracing the breadth of his creative output. The display highlights signature pieces — including the Profiterolle lamp, the Marco vase, the Trifoglio table and notable glassworks for Vistosi and Venini — illustrating a practice that ranges from lighting design to furniture and functional objects.

The exhibition is accompanied by a monograph published by Silvana Editoriale, the result of archival research and contributions from design scholars.
