Have a peek at our highlights from Milan Design Week. Let’s dive into this immersive experience together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The presented works included Dr Zahrah Alghamdi’s The Magical Pillars, a leather recreation of native rock pillars; TECHNOCrafts’ 3D printed Living Pots; and TAKK’s seating system crafted from clay and naturally dyed fabric to evoke the undulations of Saudi’s desert.

The exhibition space was designed around the theme of light, with a central cylindrical oculus resembling the sun, filtering light into the main room. The floor featured a dotted pattern reminiscent of a traditional motif found in AlUla's old city streets. Additionally, there was a central seating system called Haus Dari, encouraging visitors to relax and socialize.

 

The outdoor installation was joined by its sibling, designed by Lasvit’s Art Director Maxim Velcovsky who aimed to spotlight the relationship between glass and architecture. Entitled Porta, the monumental piece underlined Lasvit’s artisanal glass facades, showing visitors the various facets of fused glass. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spanish company Kettal took the concept to the outdoors with their new Insula system by Patricia Urquiola. Urquiola's design also offered a contemporary take on the traditional seating used in traditional Arab Majlis, with an idea of gathering and entertaining brought to an open space. 

 

With shapes of light, the new Rimadesio collection, designed by Giuseppe Bavuso, explored a distinctive aspect of its proposal on the various communication tools and channels of the company: the ability of products to offer ever-changing perceptions through the combination of light with the collection’s unique variety of shapes and surfaces.

The Rialto collection expanded to include two rectangular mirrors that also feature a bridge element to make it light and transparent.

 

Gessi, wellness leader and lifestyle leader, transformed the bathroom from functional space into an experiential environment, enhancing people's life quality and fostering emotional bonds through unique creations.

 

ENNE creates natural products that are true to the nature of the materials used. The character of both the materials used and the craftsmanship is carefully processed into the texture of the material and products so that designs are embodied through their material character. ENNE is evolving itself to shape their future designs, independent of popular culture or kitsch designs while not hesitating to be brave and innovative.

 

Designed by Antonio Citterio, the Lauren folding armchair blends traditional charm with modern flair, highlighting the finesse of Italian craftsmanship.

Although seemingly simple, every detail has been meticulously designed and developed. Featuring a structure of solid hand-turned and finished wood, and an elegant armrest, seat, and backrest made of metal clad in cowhide, the folding armchair is an ode to skilled artisan craftsmanship.

Moreover, the custom-designed metal components elevate the chair, while its svelte lines and meticulous tailoring reveal unmistakable personality.

 

Japanese design left its own unique creative imprint on Milan Design Week and Salone del Mobile 2024, with a raft of brands projects across the spectrum – from furniture and art installations to lighting and textiles – in the spotlight across the city.

Furniture was particularly high-profile, with several big-name brands unveiling new collections at Salone in addition to a string of Japanese companies staging special exhibitions at sites across the wider city. 

 

The installation, entitled Corpo Unico, focused on the relationship between light and contemporary art by hosting a selection of works by the sculptor Salvatore Astore from Turin.

The installation also featured cutting-edge sound design for a unique sensory, sound and light experience.

 

Roberto Cavalli Home Interiors presented a collection in which the brand's typical glam inspiration evolved into an idea of contemporary luxury that focuses on comfortable shapes, precious natural materials with tactile and unexpected finishes, and fabrics whose soft touch is emphasized by warm earth tones.

 

This year, Vibia invited guests to experience how they design atmospheres of wellbeing through a carefully curated exhibition of their new collections at Lom Dopolavoro, a renovated farmhouse turned restaurant in Milan. 

 

Pedrali Colours of Lightness, designed by the Milan-based studio DWA Design Studio, revealed an ethereal and dreamlike environment defined by transparencies and characterized by the skillful use of color and lightweight materials. The entire space crafted with textile gauze in celestial blue color allowed visitors to glimpse and perceive the interior of the stand. 

 

Designed by Matteo Nunziati, Davos is a modular upholstered seating system whose pieces can be combined in endless ways. Creating continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces thanks to the padding and fabrics that replicate the comfort and softness of indoor furniture, Davos perfectly represents the current trend of fluid spaces. 

 With 17.1% more visitors than in 2023, Milan was in full buzz during Design Week with events being organized throughout the city at all times bringing together more than 1,900 exhibitors from all over the world. 

We think the below are two of the trendiest events that happened in the week.

 ARTEMEST 

 

For Milano Design Week 2024 Artemest presented the second edition of L’Appartamento. The showhouse was a celebration of the beauty and uniqueness of Italian craftsmanship and design in a new stunning location, Residenza Vignale, a distinctive Milanese mansion built in the early 1900s and located in the 5 Vie district.

The space was curated by six prestigious interior design studios: Elicyon, GACHOT, Rottet Studio, Studio Meshary AlNassar, Tamara Feldman Design, and VSHD Design. Each of them designed one of the rooms using exclusively Artemest furniture, lighting, décor, and art by some of the finest Italian artisans, brands, and artists.
