Questa composizione integra nove
famiglie di prodotti disegnati da sei
progettisti diversi nell'arco di oltre
quarant'anni, in un insieme che appare
un disegno coerente, frutto di una
singola mano.
Perché il progetto non si ferma al
prodotto. Il progetto è l'elemento
principe del vasto catalogo Agape.
È ovunque. Diventa relazione e permea
ogni anfratto e interstizio tra un oggetto
e l'altro. Stabilisce interfacce, relazioni,
narrativa, gerarchie tra gli elementi e lo
spazio che li accoglie.
Perché il progetto è miracolo. Oltre
quarant'anni di coerenza e sensibilità
di Agape diventano il pentagramma
sul quale comporre soluzioni dove il
risultato supera eloquentemente la
mera somma dei singoli contributi
in un insieme che attraversa stili e
tempi con disinvoltura, senza mai
perdere la propria identità.
Perché il progetto è Agape.
This composition integrates nine
product families from by six different
authors in a more than forty year long
period, in one, coherent design that
appears to be the result of the work of
a single hand.
Because the project does not end with
the products. The project is the principal
element of the vast Agape catalogue. It
is everywhere. It becomes relationship
and permeates every corner, every
interstitial space between one object
and another. Establishes interfaces,
associations, narrative, hierarchy
among the elements and the space
that embraces them.
Because the project is a miracle. More
than forty years of Agape's coherence
and sensibility become the pentagram
on which to compose solutions where
the pure sum of the single contributions
is eloquently exceeded by the whole that
nonchalantly crosses styles and ages
without ever loosing its own identity.
Because the project is Agape.

Angelo Mangiarotti
Angelo Mangiarotti, one of
the leading exponents of
20th-century Italian design, a
committed, cultured and
brilliant designer, who took
on the ideals of the Modern
Movement and actually
exceeded them through his
experimental and highly
original work. A razor-sharp
exponent of rigorous
functionalism, who,
however, never lost sight of
elegance and beauty, always
using cutting-edge
production processes.
