Archivio #10

ARCHIVIO is a biannual Italian magazine focused on archives and the edition is exclusively built with archive's documents. Each issue involves the most relevant archives from all over the world with a high quality selection of pictures and exclusive contents.

Every issue will be constructed around a theme, but in a loose way, browsing from art to fashion, culture, sport, design, cinema, science, photography… No barriers.

We want to use our ability to watch everything from a contemporary point of view, because what archives can teach us is how memory becomes future.

ARCHIVIO N°10, offers a mapping of the design archives international landscape at this moment in time and a privileged look at the many international design archives, allowing us to admire their eclecticism and heterogeneity, and dividing them into three sections, “Organizations”, “Brands”, and “Designers & Creatives”.

It also includes a special poster: an (in)complete mapping of the many design archives in Italy. A research by Promemoria Group, ARCHIVIO’s publisher, visually processed by Accurat. The result is a map that is also a small work of art.
