Italian term or phrase: progetti meno noti
Tra "Evergreens & Nevergreens" - mobili e oggetti che sono ormai un classico per i collezionisti e progetti meno noti - apre l'11/2, a cento anni di distanza dall sua nascita, la mostra-omaggio al maestro danese del design Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971).
un classico per i collezionisti e progetti meno noti = a classic for collectors and less known/famous designs (of Jacobsen)? I'm confused with what this part actually means. Thanks!

classics
Explanation:
Agree as above, but would like to add that, at least in English, the singular 'classic' does not work, and perhaps that is why the Italian confuses you too.

something like: - objects and furniture which have become classic collectors' items, as well as lesser known projects.

Yes, it is talking about a show of Jacobsen's works, including famous objects and lesser known projects (which may or may not have been realised).

I would leave projects rather than works, as some (of the lesser known stuff) may never have gotten past the design stage.
