Established in 2020, Movimento Gallery is a contemporary design gallery representing a curated selection of independent artists and designers. Born in London, Movimento Gallery now operates from bases in both London and Milan. Movimento Gallery searches for the places where art and design co-exist; where an object has the ability to evoke emotion, provoke thought or challenge preconceptions. Here, objects and furniture become an expression of creativity, a reflection of culture and a way to connect with one another. With contributors from over 20 countries, Movimento Gallery provides a curated global perspective, celebrating cultural diversity by presenting contemporary designs that pay tribute to a range of cultural backgrounds and artistic traditions.
The journey of Movimento Gallery: from online platform to nomadic gallery
Initially launched digitally due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, Movimento Gallery quickly became a place for collectors, architects, specifiers and design enthusiasts to discover cutting-edge, original design. Since its inception, Movimento has taken care to represent designers from all corners of the world, with the intention of acting as a window into the global design scene. With its physical launch at Collectible Design Fair in 2022, Movimento firmly stamped its name alongside other world-renowned functional art galleries. With the increased visibility, Movimento became more than an online platform, and rather a nomadic-gallery, using high-profile design weeks around the world to showcase new and innovative works in themed, curated and installation-inspired exhibitions. Today, Movimento operates from permanent bases in both London and Milan with its main gallery space in Milan. Here, the gallery showcases product launches, new collections and group exhibitions featuring both emerging talent and established artists.
Movimento Editions and Movimento Collections
At the core of Movimento Gallery’s offer is whats known as Movimento Editions, a series of designer-initiated projects, each unique in its approach, materials and aesthetic, represented and showcased worldwide by Movimento. Editions tend to focus on new materials, innovative manufacturing techniques and cultural relevance. Through Movimento Editions, numerous projects have been initiated and launched with the help of Movimento and the resulting pieces showcased and sold around the world. The other side of Movimento Gallery’s core business is the newly-conceived Movimento Collections. Movimento Collections are an annual celebration of the immense and global talent within the gallery. The pieces within a single collection tend to be themed and connected in one way or another, whether that’s via a specific brief, through the materials, or through the designers themselves. The 2024 collection, entitled ‘Marks of Existence’, features the work of nine Movimento artists, each one imprinting their own style and aesthetics into their work. With the artists hailing from a global selection of countries, each piece inherits the culture, inspirations and past experiences of the designer resulting in a piece of work that tells a somewhat coded story of the artist. This collection is being launched at PAD London 2024, Movimento Gallery’s first show as part of the world-renowned fair.
