With the drawing of this Love and the voice of this Calling we shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
BAI Max Mara - Corporate Archive and Library
Pass on knowledge and
memories to the next generation
Laura Lusuardi
Year of creation: 2003
Mission: BAI Max Mara - Corporate Archive and Library project has the aim of collecting, ordering and passing on the Group’s historic heritage, preserved from the fifties to today.
Research and inspiration, and historic Heritage: are two BAI “souls”, which dialogue together in a stimulating and active context, by embracing the common perspective of creating new synergies.
Corporate Archive: represents the historical memory of the company, endless resource and fundamental source of inspiration for creativity, but it is also an operational and living space, where everything, garments, magazines, textiles, is at hand.
Library: specialized in fashion and visual art, through periodicals, monographs and trends, it provides new impulses at the creative area of the group to rethink the creative process in a different way.
BAI: Library as research in the present, Archive as research in the past, Corporate as research applied to the future.
