Over the years, Produzione Privata has developed into a group of Workshops scattered across Italy, where skilled crafts are still pursued. To these, Michele De Lucchi has from time to time entrusted the realisation of drawings – in pencil, tempera and watercolour – to be found in his sketchbooks.

Each of these realities has become a focus of specific research on a material or process, associating this experimental drive with that of the historic Bauhaus workshops.

Produzione Privata does research on porcelain which when illuminated actually becomes transparent. It develops variations on Glass to make light the protagonist of space. It revives Marble, caresses Wood and moulds Metal. In its workshop it aestheticizes the technique of its Minimal Machines. And in the Ready Made workshop it reflects on the language of design itself.
