BOCCAMONTE

At Alcova Milano 2026, Boccamonte (@boccamonte ) debuts with Luisa Castiglioni. Houses in Progress, an exhibition curated by Davide Fabio Colaci (@davide_fabio_colaci ) with the scientific consultancy of Alessandro Benetti (@ale_benetti ). The Boccamonte project, founded in 2023 in Bocca di Magra (Liguria, IT) by Maddalena Scarzella and Matteo Petrucci, presents itself for the first time as a research and design platform dedicated to enhancing the legacy of Luisa Castiglioni through archival work, study, and the development of new productions. Within Villa Pestarini, designed by Franco Albini and one of the venues of Alcova 2026, a table and a series of easels designed by Luisa Castiglioni in the 1960s for Boccamonte will be presented for the first time in iroko wood. The project is completed by Veneziana and Ango Lare, two lamps developed in dialogue with the architecture of the space. Luisa Castiglioni. Houses in Progress intertwines re-edition and new production, activating the Luisa Castiglioni Archive as a living, generative entity capable of translating Boccamonte’s architectural heritage into a contemporary vision.

BOCCAMONTE Boccamonte is a project by @maddalenascarzella and @odelayyy established in March 2023 in Liguria, Italy. The place, designed in the 1960s by architect Luisa Castiglioni, Maddalena’s grandmother, is a collection of unique architectural structures nestled in the woods on the hill of Montermarcello. For over forty years, it has been a meeting place for artists, editors, poets, and friends thanks to the vision of Luisa Castiglioni and her partner, Hans Deichmann, an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and an important figure in the fight against fascism in Italy. Boccamonte aims to preserve this architectural and cultural legacy by providing guests with an inspiring space which encourages retreat, reflection, and creativity, sustaining the energy and values that have always given life to this place. #boccamonte #luisacastiglioni #liguria #italy

Ango Lare is a 2026 project by Boccamonte that continues Luisa Castiglioni’s design research. A connecting LED projects light onto two mirrored triangles, hinged together, redefining and expanding the perceived boundaries of the surrounding space. Ango Lare is available upon request via the link in bio. #boccamonte

The original one-off Tavolo LCD1 was designed by Luisa Castiglioni in 1963 in chestnut wood as an integrated component of Casa Castiglioni in Bocca di Magra, Liguria, now part of Boccamonte as Casa 2. Today reproduced in iroko wood, the Tavolo LCD1 remains faithful to the original 1963 design. The table is available upon request via the link in bio. #boccamonte #luisacastiglioni

Boccamonte’s architectural system is rooted in the genius loci of the Mediterranean promontory of Bocca di Magra, Liguria. In the 1960s, Luisa Castiglioni discovered this small coastal village as an ideal context in which to freely cultivate her vision of architecture and life. Here, she worked across scales (from landscape to interior design) developing a system of refined residential buildings in the forest above the village, immersed in nature and open to the sea horizon. phot: @delfino_sl @piercarloquecchia @dsl__studio #boccamonte #luisacastiglioni

“Luisa Castiglioni. Houses in Progress” was presented during Milan Design Week at Villa Pestarini, designed by Franco Albini, one of the two venues of @alcova.milano 2026. The exhibition, curated by @davide_fabio_colaci with scientific consultancy by @ale_benetti , explored Boccamonte’s universe and unveiled its debut furniture collection: a table and trestles designed by Luisa Castiglioni in the 60s, alongside two lamps developed today as a contemporary echo of Boccamonte’s spaces and architectures.

Veneziana is a design by Boccamonte from 2026, conceived as a filtered light inspired by the shading elements of Luisa Castiglioni’s architecture. Two polycarbonate panels frame a Venetian blind that modulates light through the variable inclination of its slats. Like a theatrical device, the alucobond casing reveals glimpses of the layered composition of the stage flats of different materials.

In the 1960s, Luisa Castiglioni discovered Bocca di Magra, a small coastal village in Liguria, as an ideal setting in which to freely cultivate her vision of architecture and life. Here, she designed a series of refined residential buildings in the forest, immersed in nature and open to the sea horizon. Her houses became gathering places for friends, artists, publishers, and architects, as well as working studios for an architect who was always deeply engaged with the construction process. Boccamonte emerged from this physical and cultural landscape. Today it functions both as a place of hospitality and as a laboratory for experimentation between nature and contemporary design, fostering a dialogue between heritage and innovation.

Ango Lare is a design by Boccamonte from 2026, continuing Luisa Castiglioni’s research into the forms and performance of lighting elements. The lamp interacts with two converging walls, to which two mirrored triangles are attached, fixed at a right angle and hinged together. A bridging LED projects light onto the mirrors, redefining and expanding the perceived boundaries of the room. On the occasion of MDW 2026 Boccamonte presents: “Luisa Castiglioni.

Cavaletto LCD 1 is a design by Luisa Castiglioni from 1963. The original trestle was crafted in chestnut wood for Casa Castiglioni in Bocca di Magra, Liguria, now part of Boccamonte. The assembly of slender quare-section profiles generates its articulated, self-supporting structure. Today, the trestle is reproduced in iroko wood, based on the original design.

Tavolo LCD1 is a design by Luisa Castiglioni from 1963. The original, one-off table was crafted in chestnut wood as an integrated component of Casa Castiglioni in Bocca di Magra, Liguria, now part of Boccamonte. The precise mathematical proportions between the slat compositions of the legs and the tabletop define both its structure and its form. Today, the table is reproduced in iroko wood, based on the original design. On the occasion of MDW 2026 Boccamonte presents: “Luisa Castiglioni.
