Creative crowds swarmed to Milan Design Week (9-14 April) to experience a week loaded with pioneering projects, revolutionary collaborations and buzzing soirées. Aside from launches at anchor event Salone del Mobile, in town, satellite locations grew increasingly curious – from former factories to royal residences. During the week, team Wallpaper* trawled the streets to uncover the trailblazing exhibitions and releases, bringing you the live highlights as they happened...
The myriad of patterns in this design is the result of hacking traditional stone methods. On view at Alcova, the project is a collaboration between stone tailor Manuel Coltri and DWA Design Studio, and curated by Paolo de Vivo. A cocktail of Carrara, lava stone, green onyx and more form the stripes, graphic shapes, and contrasting tones of these vases and trays, giving classic materials and methods a new edge
The results of a collaboration between students of the Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship course at ECAL and Italian marble brand Marsotto LAB were on view in Brera. Following a tour of its Verona factory, the students were able to get to grips with Marsotto’s meticulous methods with marble and under the guidance of French designer Pierre Charpin, they produced a collection of kitchenware that includes a champagne bucket, containers and trays.

Two collaborations came to fruition for Hem’s Salone spectacle. In Brera, the brand coined the ‘Hem Gallery and Garden’ where it presented the monolithic ‘Max Table’ by Max Lamb, stretching three metres and made from Douglas Fir. The Swedish brand also launched its first collaboration with Modern Design Review – an ornamental ceramics project with John Booth and Ian McIntyre that was both playful and experimental.

Dimore Studio set its sights on a new location to launch Dimoremilano; a sub brand of furniture, fabric and outdoor collections by the Milanese duo Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci. Inside Ex Cinema Arti, they formed a memorable theatrical environment that featured loud rock tunes and flashing lights. Here, the pieces were presented in dioramas that included living room, dining room, office and bedroom. Photography: Paola Pansini
While circling the rooms, audiences were welcomed by lacquered surfaces and sleek embellished metal finishes. Titled ‘Interstellar,’ each room of the installation was shaped by dramatic layers including mirrored surfaces, patterned prints and faux-fur. Photography: Paola Pansini
Paris based architecture studio Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane collaborated with Union, an Osaka based manufacturer of door handles, to create the exhibition ’One Design – One Handle’ that went on display in the Tortona district. The installation took an archeological approach to modern craftsmanship, revisiting the use of pre-industrial techniques and handcrafted tools. Photography: Takuji Shimmura
Juxtaposing sustainably made, sand-moulded pieces alongside Union’s door handle designs crafted with digital technology, the display questioned how ‘primitive’ skills could be adapted for future visions. Photography: Takuji Shimmura
Inside the Strategic Footprints Agency office, an installation explored the world of terracotta. Curated by Valentina Guidi Ottobri, the special project, titled ‘Land’, saw Spanish studio Masquespacio working with the textural material from Italian furnace Poggi Ugo, giving traditional craft a contemporary slant
The studio were inspired by 1950s Brazil and California, and 1970s Italy for the shapes of the 17 terracotta forms – postmodern sculptures were sat alongside pieces with architecturally tropical mouldings
This year marked the 10th anniversary of the Dutch Invertuals collective, which is headed up by Wendy Plomp and made up of brightest talents on the Netherlands design scene. To celebrate, Plomp set the group the task of exploring the theme of ‘The Circle’ – a symbol she describes as representing ‘unity, perfection and infinity’. Designers including Max Lipsey (work pictured), Bram Vanderbeke and Jeroen Ward presented works inside the Isola district location, with a spiralling set design imagined by Daphna Laurens
Materials, symbolism and spirituality came together for Studiopepe’s ‘Les Arcanistes’ exhibition, housed within an industrial space once used for the manufacturing of gold. With its name referring to ‘the archanists’ (a group of people considered to be the first chemists), the show explored the importance of materiality and the process that goes along with it
Inside, derelict rooms have been transformed into treasure troves of precious matter, furnished with both vintage furniture and new collections. Visitors were met with designs by the likes of Verner Panton and Tacchini, but also a salt-covered cave housing a mystic tarot card reader
Cassina transformed its Via Durini showroom into a perspective in blue – a range of interior sets curated by the Italian brand’s art director Patricia Urquiola. In an array of grids, the ‘Cassina Perspective’ unfolds, revealing new collections framed by architectural drawings by Le Corbusier, a theatrical diorama and contemporary artworks curated by Federica Sala/PS.

In the centre of the historic Palazzo Litta, a mirrored architectural intervention blooms from the courtyard cobbles. Echo Pavilion was created by Chilean architecture duo Pezo von Ellrichshausen, and acts a centre point, reflecting and distorting the surrounding Baroque architecture. Visitors, (those undeterred by unseasonable rain) can enter the roofless pavilion, which reveals a structural grid design and internal benches, open to the elements
Inside the eerie setting of Church San Bernardino alle Monache, sculptural works by Anton Alvarez crawl around in an exhibition curated by Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte. Working with bronze for the first time, the Swedish-Chilean designer created these unusual forms using a self-made tool, the ‘extruder’
Brera’s Via Solferino 11 spot is always well attended, and for good reason. This year, Italian stone specialists Salvatori enlisted Elisa Ossino for a layered presentation of its new wares by the likes of John Pawson, Piero Lissoni and more. Guests could explore encompassing ‘Hidden Rooms’ – chambers of marble inspiration
For its second Milan Design Week showcase, technology behemoth Google created an experiential three-room installation that intertwined design with human biology.

For its inaugural Milan Design Week display, Brazilian furniture brand Espasso chose a charming and small spot in Brera for ‘Connections,’ a 15-piece exhibition that explores designs from the early 20th-century to today. The brand chose British company Tala to create a contemporary lighting installation that delicately frames the designs, including the pictured Rio Chaise lounge by Oscar Niemeyer from 1978.

The shape of a pelican was the starting point for Jaime Hayon’s latest design for Danish furniture brand Fritz Hansen. Titled ‘Lounge Chair JH97’, the sculptural piece strikes a balance between classic and contemporary with its low-slung wooden form, yet it is light composition that is formed using modern techniques
Luxury French brand Bassines makes its Milan debut, following a soft launch in Paris last year. The brainchild of Xavier Dupuy, founder of kitchen appliance brand La Cornue, Bassines presented two collections inside elegant Palazzo Cusani that look to revolutionise washbasin design with modern shapes and refined metals
Nilufar Depot presents consistently well-received exhibitions, and this year’s showcase was no different. Focusing for the first time solely on emerging designers with exhibition ‘Far’ curated Valentina Ciuffi/Studio Vedèt, the eclectic display of ‘radical experiments’ by the likes of Odd Matter, Wendy Andreu, Bram Vanderbeke and Johan Viladrich are often found housed within giant transparent bubbles.

Narrating the evolution of Caldas’ design journey, the pieces join good company in Etel’s showroom: works by Lina Bo Bardi, Giuseppe Scapinelli, Oscar Niemeyer and more
This year COS enlisted French architect Arthur Mamou-Mani for installation Conifera at Palazzo Isimbardi, a structure built using open-source 3D-printing software. The pavilion consists of 700 ‘truncated pyramids’ and references the organic connection between the forms, material and garden location
Conifera is intertwined with the 16th-century architecture of Palazzo Isimbardi and the palette of the graphic sculpture changes from wood colour (pictured) to translucent, pure bioplastic

Comprising tables, pouffes, loveseat, console and a new lighting range, the pieces are both whimsical and bold. ‘This collection reflects my fascination for planets like Saturn, which seem to be caught within their rings, and has inspired these designs of spherical and tubular shapes,’ says Bohinc. Pictured, Saturn chair and pouffe

Ahead of its official launch at the fair, Flos previews Formafantasma’s new ‘WireLine’ light at the collector’s lounge at MiArt.
