Milan 2014
April 15, 2014
A short tribute to salone del mobile, Milan
Once you are there and after finding the "Negruzzi Family" you literally run to reach Zona Tortona.
And after that goes anything else. It's the feeling and the energy you take & you missed since last year.
All these people wandering with the same more or less interests with you.
Especially at a sunny day having a cup of creamy capuccino & planning your next visits...
Merci, parisian concept pop up store in Zona Tortona, full of Paola Navone's new patterns & objects
Then, you enter into those beautiful buildings full of stories and people
and you get inspired and a little bit of jealus by all those incredible istallations

On our walk we passed by e15 (one of my top furniture & lighting companies).
A really inspiring place. Simplicity & stylishness at its best!

Next stop, downtown Milan.
A panzerotto at Luini's with the rest of the visitors & the locals (as always),
a walk arround the city center in order to take some photos.
I'm always obcessed with the Italian buildings & doors!
LUINI panzerotti Via Santa Radegonda 16 (Via San Raffaele)
We had an amazing walk (many kilometers) & enjoyed alot every single step!
We took a break like the senior over there under the warm sun
& then we started again towards the Brera district!
opposite Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II near Teatro Alla Scala
Brera Design Diistrict
It's always "grande" when you walk in these narrow streets in Brera design district during the "isaloni del mobile".
Imagine this period where you can enter into beautiful buildings
that you've always wanted to see from the inside & never had the chance.
And that's what we did in our favourite Brera!
Event locations, showrooms, shops, temporary stores, offices and unconventional spaces,
were there for you to admire or get inspired by.
After checking all this super "Fuorisalone" showrooms we made a stop
at a little beautiful patisserie - cafe & tried some of the delicacies they we preparing along with a big cup of capuccino
(always a capuccino no matter what the time was... :)
just before our last stop in fabulous and authentic Milanese hangout STRAFhotel & bar behind Duomo.
After a couple of coctails with the aperitivo, back to the Negruzzi Family with a sweet lightheadedness.
Tomorrow is the big day for the fierra!

Every year while visiting isaloni del mobile, we are trying to leave the best for last!
And usually this is the "Satellite Padiglione".
That means, that you are gonna see young people's thoughts, inspiraton, effort & proposal from all over the world.
Unconventional set ups, nice graphics, new forms & functions
