The aim of the exhibition is to safeguard the historical industrial memory of Bieffe. The company started its activity in Caselle di Selvazzano Dentro (PD) in 1958 and soon became the driving force behind the economic recovery of the Paduan territory starting from the post-war period, as well as one of the protagonists of the history of Design Made in Italy until the end of the nineties of last century.
Thanks to the private collections of the Anselmi and Barison families, with the contribution and precious collaboration of former Bieffe employees, a selection of original Bieffe and Bieffeplast branded products is displayed: the first metal drawing table, pieces of furniture designed by prestigious designers , communication materials and some vintage documents.
The exhibition intends to start a research project that aims to recover significant materials such as drawings, prototypes, products, communication tools, stories, mostly lost after the closure of the company.
