Three HTSI events in October: it’s time for Superior Interiors and Speciale Arte

Three issues and three special initiatives: October at HTSI is packed with non-stop events at newsagents and with readers. Following the first issue of *A Passion for Fashion* and the upcoming *Passerella dei Sogni* in Florence (https://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/la-magia-un-abito-che-cura-sfilata-all-ospedale-bambini-firenze-AJn1bbuB), On 30 October, Superior Interiors, the special issue of HTSI dedicated to the home and design, hits the newsstands. But that’s not all: included with the magazine is a monographic supplement, Speciale Arte, to mark the many autumn events and the magazine’s presence at Artissima in Turin.

And it is precisely in the art market that the next generation of collectors is taking on a special role: Maria Gregotti, Brian Ip, Michele Cristella, Koza Gureli Yazgan and Vicky Chen are just some of those interviewed in this issue. Over the next twenty years, we will witness a transfer of wealth amounting to 83,000 billion dollars: the generational shift is redefining the balance of purchases and prices, as those under 35 have ushered in a new way of investing and viewing the creative market. The special supplement to HTSI also takes an in-depth look at the independent spaces, galleries and experimental workshops which, throughout Italia and around the world, are emerging alongside the major hubs of contemporary art. In Milan, one such space – Ordet, founded by Edoardo Bonaspetti – will host an event celebrating HTSI’s Art Special. It will be an opportunity to visit the James Richards exhibition and to raise a glass together – guests, journalists, art critics and artists alike – as we discover this special edition. The issue will also be on display in Turin, at the Oval Lingotto Fiere, during the three-day Artissima event.

From art to the art of living, this special issue of Superior Interiors offers a round-up of ideas and trends, from the ‘Meccan’ style to ‘hominess’ – the new sense of ‘feeling at home’ supported by neuroscience research. This issue features a host of leading figures: Piero Gandini, Marc Newson, Bonnie Brennan, Dolores Uribe, Mai Suzuki, Cédric Grolet and many others.

Special attention is being paid to the growing interest in books and bookshops, which – through design, art and fashion – is breathing new life into the shared experience of reading. And this is precisely where the third event and the third initiative for all enthusiasts comes in: the first HTSI Experience Reading Club: not your usual book club, but a bespoke and original experience centred on four guiding values – silence and time, sensory experience and savoir-faire – which aims to offer a chance to pause and relax in an increasingly fast-paced and performance-driven world. Five sessions, dedicated respectively to hearing, smell, taste, sight and touch, featuring a selection of the finest books that speak not only to the heart and mind, but also to the senses. The first session is ‘Touch’, taking place on 19 November at the Salotto Retori in the heart of Milan’s Quadrilatero district.
