Fuorisalone. Milano Design Week 2018
The following is a pretty extensive gallery of photos. Though it does not pretend to be an exhaustive review, it aims to visually offer the occasional reader the pulse of the town during the recent Milano Design Week 2018.
The Milano Design Week, also known as Fuorisalone, is an initiative aimed at giving designers, design firms – but also artisans and small businesses – an exposure to the international audience during the week of one of the most important fairs of the trade: the Salone del Mobile of Milano.
Piazza del Duomo

MiArt
MiArt is one of the finest art fairs in Europe, more and more at the level with major art fairs around the world. More on this subject in our feature article here.

Torre Fondazione Prada
Collateral to the main exhibition ground at Fondazione Prada – now featuring the Post Zang Tumb Tuuum exhibit – the visitors have the chance to visit the “Torre”, the new building erected by Prada’s patron Patrizio Bertelli. Designed by Rem Koolhaas with Chris van Duijn and Federico Pompignoli at OMA-Office for Metropolitan Architecture in Rotterdam, it’s been conceived to house the Atlas, a project generated by the dialogue between Miuccia Prada and Germano Celant, to show the spirit underlying the Prada art collection.
Palazzo Bocconi
Louis Vuitton has dedicated its show to the fine material that envelopes its leather goods. The Nomade leather is applied to pieces of furniture that have this peculiarity: they can be folded and placed in the luggage that one is planning to store in the baggage compartment.

Within the historic building commissioned in 1565 by Carlo Borromeo, Audi proposes to the public of the Design Week its interpretation of the relationship existing between innovation and vision of the future.

When you say “Fuorisalone”, you mean SuperStudio and Via Tortona, today enriched by the addition of the BASE exhibition ground (obtained by the renovation of the Ansaldo factory compound). Not to forget the new David Chipperfield designed Museo Delle Culture (MUDEC), currently featuring an important exhibit about Frida Kahlo, which is a must-see by any means.
Spazio Rossana Orlandi
The chic-design bazar of Rossana Orlandi, in Via Matteo Bandello, opens its doors to unveil creations – new and old – by its team of designers. The Maison has today been joined by the presence of FASSAMANO, from the French face á main, a new reading instrument that is both practical and sophisticated.
