Who we are
Our history began as a publisher of illustrated books and art catalogs. Over the past twenty-five years we have added to our publishing activity the production and organization of major art exhibitions and special projects, in Italy and abroad. We specialize in public and private cultural heritage enhancement and museum management. We provide services such as educational consulting, communication and press office, ticketing services, retail services and corporate event organization. We collaborate with companies and institutions that rely on us to turn a need into a tailor-made project.
Our method
Telling
Building a story starts with content, values, and materials, and comes to life through the art of connecting them into a unique experience. An expertise that has always been part of our DNA as publishers of prestigious volumes, an activity to which we have added the production of major exhibitions and consulting in all museum management services.
Enhance
Whether it is the promotion of a museum collection, the rediscovery of a corporate archive or an urban regeneration intervention, the ultimate goal of any project is the creation of cultural value.
Amplify
A story is made up of images and words; it is real and virtual. From event to educational, from catalog to multimedia exhibition, we have the know-how and tools to give each story its proper place.
Connect
With over two hundred and fifty realized exhibition projects, we are the reference partner for a network of institutions and museums, both national and international. Being part of one of the largest Italian publishing groups allows us to intercept the best energies of the cultural industry and take advantage of the multichannel nature of the Group’s media.
Mudec: a uniqueness in the Italian cultural landscape
Since 2015, in partnership with the City of Milan, we have managed MUDEC – Museo delle Culture, a multidisciplinary center dedicated to the cultures of the five continents. An innovative form of governance, unique in Italy.
Creating value, together
Companies
We create special and tailor-made projects from content, values and collections. A dialogue between the corporate world and art, with a focus on contemporary languages and themes.
Institutions and Territory
We support institutions, public and private, in the promotion and enhancement of their cultural heritage. We are present on the ground, alongside public administrations, to promote participatory urban regeneration interventions and bring value through art.
Exhibitions and Museum Management
The production of major exhibitions is our core business. We take care of every aspect of the path that transforms the concept into a unique experience: from conception – thanks to a network of internationally renowned curators – to production, through a network of specialized professionals from the management of communication and ticketing services to educational activities. We offer institutions and companies our professional and managerial expertise, providing specialized consulting services in the management of museum venues and projects.
Lines and publishing products
Being publishers is part of our DNA, a skill we have been honing since 1989. Today the group includes four publishing brands through which we conceive and produce volumes dedicated to art, fashion, photography, design and architecture, as well as non-fiction with Scheiwiller and children’s books and comics with the Kids and Comics lines. We partner with established international publishing houses and export our publishing products worldwide.
Retail and merchandising
Stories come to life through signature objects inspired by art, design and fashion, protagonists of the art&design24 line. Sometimes the inspiration comes from us, other times we realize the visions of brands, partners and institutions that ask us to turn an idea or need into reality. We take care of production, with a focus on recycling and environmental protection issues, and distribution, thanks to a network of bookshops and retail outlets.
