The 1:20 scale RV Prototype begins its 5 year tour of Europe in February for “Hello, Robot. Design Between Human and Machine”. The show opens on February 10 at the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany and then travels to the Museum of Fine Arts Vienna in June, and the Design Museum Gent in October.
The Piaggio Fast Forward Headquarters is now open in Boston. The 6,000 square foot office and workspace features furniture by Vitra/Prouve, lighting by FLOS, and a 7-axis KUKA Robot.
After acquiring the RV Prototype project last year, SFMoMA is featuring the 1:20 robotic model and section drawings of the RV Prototype as part of their grand re-opening show. The project will be on display from May 14 – September 18 in their Collection Campaign show on Experimental Architecture.
