Fragile, Modernariato & Design

Fragile, Modernariato & Design Galleria di design storico e contemporaneo

Fragile nasce nel 2000 , e diventa in breve tempo punto di riferimento per l'arredamento di casa e ufficio, presentando un'invidiabile collezione di oggetti di design, molti dei quali prodotti da grandi firme, quali Gio Ponti, Angelo Mangiarotti, Carlo Scarpa, Osvaldo Borsani, dagli anni Cinquanta a oggi. Il 2007 è l'anno di svolta con l'apertura del grande showroom in Via Rutilia,11 a Milano, che

, oltre ad accogliere la vastissima collezione di illuminazione, tavoli, sedute, oggetti di design con cui l'azienda cerca di incontrare i gusti del pubblico più esigente, si propone come spazio ideale per ospitare Eventi ed iniziative culturali. Da ricordare, la mostra dedicata nell'aprile 2009 a Franco Albini & Franca Helg, grandi esponenti del design del Novecento, in cui sono state presentate, per la prima volta al pubblico, sia le produzioni industriali, sia oggetti prodotti in edizioni limitate, in alcuni casi, addirittura, rarissimi prototipi. Oltre a dedicarsi agli oggetti di design delle grandi firme del XX secolo, Fragile partecipa attivamente alla produzione di design d'autore con Fragile Edizioni, una nuova linea di oggetti d'arredo realizzata in collaborazione con, tra gli altri, Claudio Salocchi. Entrambe le attività volte a compiacere il cliente nella ricerca dell'oggetto che soddisfi le sue esigenze estetiche e pratiche, e, allo stesso tempo, assicurandogli l'autenticità di un investimento duraturo e di valore.

Hidden behind the curtains, waiting to be noticed.

These rare globe lamps by Tommaso Buzzi for Venini (ca. 1933) are among the hidden gems currently inhabiting Fragile’s spaces alongside "Property of Sergio Asti. A Design Heritage".

Conceived in multiple variations - up to 22 different models, only partly realised due to their technical complexity - the lamps embody Buzzi’s unmistakable language: delicate floral details, cornucopia-shaped arms, transparent glass with gold leaf.

Quietly suspended beyond the curtains, these pieces reveal themselves only to the attentive eye - a parallel constellation surrounding Sergio Asti’s world without ever distracting from it.

Where postmodern architecture meets light.
The Zerma lamp by Anonima Design for Flaet (ca. 1980) embodies the group’s architectural and experimental approach - bold, sculptural, and full of presence.

Currently on view in the gallery, in dialogue with the objects featured in “Property of Sergio Asti. A Design Heritage”.

A conversation with Alessandro Padoan and Alessandro Palmaghini around “Property of Sergio Asti. A design heritage” and the research behind the exhibition presented during Milano Design Week 2026.

Filmed at the Biblioteca Braidense for The Collective, the latest issue of Magazine for Living by Milano Finanza, celebrating the renewed attention towards collectible design through five leading Milanese galleries - guardians of the past and active forces in shaping contemporary design culture.

Color becomes structure, guiding the eye through Sergio Asti’s world.

Totems in masonite panels host a selection of works designed, among others, for Kartell, Candle, Martinelli, Artemide, Arteluce, Vistosi, Salviati and Knoll - a constellation of collaborations across decades.

On the windows, suspended elements reveal subtle clues: the table bearing the inscription “Property of Sergio Asti” and plates from the Dada series.

Sheer curtains trace the space, concealing what lies beyond - fragments of Fragile’s collection, just out of sight.
