Triennale di Milano, the top-ranking museum of architecture, design, and arts announced last week their plans for opening Triennale di Milano New York in September. During my visit in Milan last month, Triennale was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. They curated a thought provoking show for the Salone del Mobile. On top of that, they are truly dedicated to preserving the traditional Italian design by sponsoring institutions like the Achille Castiglioni Studio. For the New York location, the museum will open with an exhibition of Gio Poti's works. I think it will make quite an entrance into the New York museum/design scene. I am very excited about having another place to spend a casual afternoon of good design and delicious coffee.

“Triennale New York will bring the essence of Italian identity to New York City,” said Davide Rampello, President, La Triennale di Milano “We will try to represent the extraordinary qualities that are the hallmark of Italian ingenuity, industry and culture.”
“La Triennale has, for many years, been a place at the center of international, Italian and Milanese debates and culture. Triennale New York will allow us to bring this dialogue—through examples of Italian culture in all its many forms—to New York, as well as into contact with wider global trends and discourse.
YES!
"Triennale New York will obviously attentively curate all its “cultural” offer, considering the restaurant not as a side service, but as an opportunity to get in touch with the extraordinary variety that Italian cuisine is able to express through the culture of its territory."
"The restaurant will be guest-curated on an ongoing basis by well-known chefs from Italy and will use products from allover Italy, trying to get out of the stereotypes that sometimes mark the Italian food abroad."
