Columbus Continuum 100 Years Celebrations, Milan – Italy
In the second half of the year 2019 Columbus celebrated its 100th Anniversary with a series of exhibitions in order to narrate the many stories composing this unique entrepreneurial scenario.
The four exhibitions, reunited under the name "Columbus continuum". 100 years of a steel manufactory in Milan, have been planned to set and show the company from four different perspectives and industries: tubular furniture; steel series for bicycle frames; the great innovation and research content of the company that lead it to collaborate to amazing goals and achievements (from airplanes to cars and riding machines); the constant focus on art and design.
