"Gioco, a new creative space for children, has opened at the Triennale Milano as part of the larger redesign of the Piano Parco. Designed by AR.CH.IT Luca Cipelletti, the project introduces a flexible, interactive environment of modular blocks of cork to be reconfigured and used for hands-on exploration. The initiative comes with the institution's commitment to accessibility and family engagement, following the strategic plan and the Triennale Manifesto for families, which was introduced in 2025."
"With his Gioco space for the Triennale Milano, architect Luca Cipelletti emphasizes adaptability and material honesty. Furnishings by French studio smarin use modular cork blocks and flat pine surfaces chosen for their durability, along with their sustainable and tactile qualities. Assembled without nails or screws, these lightweight elements can be rearranged to create seats, desks, partitions, or loungers, allowing the interior to shift quickly between a workshop, playroom, or contemplative retreat."
Gioco opened at Triennale Milano within the renovated Piano Parco, welcoming children and caregivers throughout the day. The space functions as both a structured educational setting and a free-use area, hosting workshops by the Triennale Education Department and offering informal playtime. Architect Luca Cipelletti and French studio smarin designed modular furnishings from cork and flat pine, assembled without nails or screws for durability, sustainability, and tactile quality. Lightweight blocks reconfigure into seats, desks, partitions, or loungers and stack neatly for storage, allowing rapid shifts between activities. The Triennale commits to accessibility and family engagement through a strategic plan and a 2025 Manifesto for families.
