A quick referral to a referral: Dan Funderburgh. He is, as the Dwell Blog says, a renaisance man. He is a graphic designer and wallpaper wonderkind. But what I really like about his work is the baroque almost obsessive level with which he makes every day objects very special. Case in point: a simple fire hydrant is brought to the level of the finest brocade.

Before I get started, I have to thank Kay McMahon of Wallpaper* for providing hundreds of fantastic photographs of the 2008 Milan Design Week which includes events from the Zona Tortona and the Salone Del Mobile. Although I don’t have descriptions for each image, leave a comment about any piece you’re curious about and I’ll find out what it is for you, I promise.

If you want to see Kay’s images in their entirety, go to her Flickr page and if you want to read about the exciting debuts that happened this past week, then check out Wallpaper*s fantastic coverage of Milan’s most exciting events.

Kay took so many images that I’m breaking these images up into multiple posts that I’ve categorized a bit. I call this post The White Album for its overwhelming whiteness.
