Last week, the International Design Week took place in Milan!
From the Rossana Orlando exhibition Untold
at the Museum Bagatti Valsecchi to the Berlin Design Selection at Ventura /
Lambrate to the Romeo & Juliet 2.0 event via Paolo Sarpi featuring original
spiral
staircases, designers, journalists, bloggers, architects and many other
were looking for the new trends and ideas of this year. So what are they?
The Grandmother Clock realized by Marteen Baas for
Carpenters Workshop, is an incredible piece of work. Every five minutes an old
lady projected inside the clock erased the past hour to indicate the current
hour. It is fascinating how well is done because you don’t actually notice that
a person is waiting inside the clock and then suddenly you can see a face with
a moving harm holding a pen in the hand.
At via Paolo Sarpi 60, Marco Goffi recreated the Juliets
home on the first floor of the nice space Presso_Kook
Sharing Experience. Thanks to the installation o a winding red spiral
staircase kit made by Fontanot, the upper faรงade level have been
transformed into the ideal entrance of a “casa di Giuletta_RELOADED”, an event
part of the Romeo & Juliet 2.0
concept. On the backdrop of the Shakespearean lovers shall be on stage the theater,
the sense of home, the kitchen and the design.
Within the frame of the Berlin Design Selection, visitors
discovered in Milan a curated selection of design works curated by young
Berliner’s designers. From flamboyant lights to coat racks to artistic hanging
vase, this year exhibition was literally interesting and surprising. As a special guest, the internationally known German
designer Werner Aisslinger got two of his newest creations:
A leather brown Coliseum Sofa soft that have created a lot of reaction from visitors, astonishment and laugh from the youngest to interest and compliments from the older.
A Bookcase color bronze with the shape of an atom holding plants, books and a little table.
To
conclude this year design week was definitely worth to see with hundreds of
events, exhibitions, music festivals and other great initiative for grown up as
for kids.
