Milan Design Week Wrapup: Wow!


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.

Included are a number of objects or scenes that are very, very exciting in no particular order:

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.

Danish Edge - From HANDCRAFT to MINDCRAFT



"12 of Denmark’s leading and most talented young craftspeople and designers are involved in the MINDCRAFT exhibition. The 12 craftspeople and designers are exponents of the development from HANDCRAFT to MINDCRAFT that is currently changing Danish crafts from an area that is predominantly concerned with materials, techniques and utilitarian value to a phenomenon in the field of tension between art, crafts and design. MINDCRAFT applies an expanded concept of crafts and a conceptual approach to the field, which is reflected in the individual works as well as in the exhibition design. With its 12 unique brand-new and artistic works, the exhibition offers a view of Danish crafts and design right now. "
