For the fifth consecutive year, Wallpaper* has assembled an international cast of star designers, craftsmen and makers to produce one-off wonders. Prepare to be amazed, beguiled and charmed at this year’s bar-raising, must-see spectacle at the Leclettico gallery in Milan during the Salone del Mobile.
This year sees Vincenzo di Cotiis turn the table on a wondrous set of Jaguar wheels, Bally let loose with hell-for-leather skis, and the Ace Hotel’s Lovage serve up life-enhancing elixirs. Sony, meanwhile, celebrates creativity with a new range of sub-atomically sharp screens – on view for the first time.
Elsewhere across town, Michael Anastassiades dresses beautiful windows with Brioni for Handmade’s first off-site installation at via Gesù 2a.
For those that don’t make it to Milan, see the big reveal in our upcoming August issue (W* 185) – on sale 10 July
