Typecasting

An Assembly of Iconic, Forgotten and New Vitra Characters During Milans Design Week 2018, the Vitra exhibition Typecasting, curated by Robert Stadler, presented 200 objects in the former sports hall La Pelota in the citys Brera district. In addition to generous photographic documentation of the event, this eponymous publication , designed by Zak Group, critically investigates how design evolves under the influ ence of social media. By presenting the objects as characters, Typecasting is as much about furniture as it is about ourselves. Whereas furnitures practical function is a given, its representational role has dramatically evolved: furniture and objects become props for self-staging on social media and online.
