The Moshe Tabibnia Gallery transcends the concept of an exhibition container, becoming a place of care, research, and conservation. It welcomes visitors through a tripartite ground floor where the display windows establish a dialogue with the city.
The exhibition path, articulated by a staircase in travertine, steel, and glass, leads to the first floor. Spacious galleries host antique tapestries animated by motorized wall-mounted lifting systems.
The library is conceived as a place for conversation and relaxation, with reading areas located near the window openings and naturally lit. Administrative and research offices, services, a small café, and storage spaces complete the functional program.
Materials are reduced and essential: unpolished travertine slabs laid in a staggered pattern for the flooring metaphorically recall the rammed-earth surfaces of the regions of origin of the precious textile artifacts. Wall paneling, custom-designed furniture, and large pivot doors are made of teak wood. Furnishings pay tribute to the city of Milan and one of its most renowned designers.
