HOUSEWARMING
Airbnb, the world’s leading community-driven hospitality company, is partnering with the Fabrica to create ‘Housewarming’, an experiential installation for the 2015 edition of Salone del Mobile to celebrate the connections that guests and hosts experience through sharing a home, and how these unique relationships begin with a simple welcome.

Visitors to the installation in the Palazzo Crespi, will see the creations of 19 international designers who have interpreted the concept of welcome. Guests will be invited to interact with the designers, who will be installed in different parts of the Palazzo.
The Airbnb community is known for providing access to incredible spaces and Palazzo Crespi is no different ... It was originally built to celebrate the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte.

CAMERA CHIARA
The installation by Annabel Karim Kassar architects and Interiors surges strongly in the Cortile 700 inside the University, interacting and creating different views through two pavilions made of raw black steel finish structure with burnt dark and rough wooden planks.

Through these rough constructions, remembering some of the Lebanese temporary shelters, the project aims to share the experience of the craftsmen’s work and way of living through a narrative approach.

The two pavilions, Liwan and Camera Obscura, composed of eight stepped telescopic frames, face each other to create parallelism and interact with the historical building.

is the theme chosen to emphasize the willingness to go “beyond”, beyond the enveloping spell of colours toward a different vision of outdoor and indoor living, a vision centered on furniture intended as a functional and elegant product, simple and at the same time able to redesign the “togetherness”.
