Milan Design Week
Each year, since moving to Milan, I make sure never to miss out on the year’s most important appointment, “Fuori Salone” with hundreds of events and installations. The design world descended on Milan once again, turning the city inside out with artists, designers and buyers from all over the world. The event steadily growing over the years, has opened up new areas of the city previously unexplored.
Fantastic weather, the city bustling with people, me scuttling through the crowds of Via Tortona taking in the action and energy which blows across the city like a welcome steady breeze on hot scalding day.
Light and emotion were a big part of the most celebrated events at Milan’s 2011 Fuorisalone. The Canon NEOREAL Wonder Light Show and KANEKA OLED light experiences were truly breathtaking.
Trecking around town during the fuori salone was hectic and tiring but as I lay on a giant plush sofa looking up at Foscarini’s delightfully ecclectic lighting ensemble, I knew I would do it all over again next year.
