The Eclisse lamp. The Maralunga sofa. The Carimate chair. Vico Magistretti (1920–2006) was the Milanese architect and designer behind some of the most enduring objects of postwar Italian design. What’s more, throughout his career he maintained a continuous and productive relationship with Japan that has never been fully examined. His foundation now presents an exhibition tracing that relationship through 20-plus projects: among them, the Cerruti 1881 shops he designed in Tokyo in 1974 and Osaka in 1986; his private houses for the wealthy Tanimoto family; products designed for Japanese companies; and the formal and conceptual affinities between his work and Japanese aesthetics of harmony, color, and restraint. New drawings by the Brussels-based studio Dogma accompany the show. —Elena Clavarino
