Milan was awash with exhibitions, fairs and talks last week, as design in its many forms took over the city for the annual Salone del Mobile design week.
More than 300,000 people hit the streets of the Italian capital over six days at locations dotted across the city. Exhibits ranged from Lee Broom’s reimagining of his furniture and lighting collections from the last decade in a disused vault at Centrale station, to Alessi’s tribute to Zaha Hadid, which saw it transform the windows of its flagship store on Via Manzoni into an installation of notable designs created in collaboration with the late architect.
Some brands opted to stick with the spirit of one of Milan Design Week’s most enduring features; the Salone Internazionale del Mobile furniture fair, held annually at the FieraMilano complex on the outskirts of the city.
