Introducing the Flower Tower, an infinite column of light, a metaphor of our inner light, a luminous landmark, a celestial totem as a point of reference of a contemporary domestic landscape. Flower Tower is a piece without boundaries made by crystalline blown glass, pure at the core, and inspired to the Louis Vuitton flower logo shape.

Cassina celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Cassina "iMaestri" collection with the exhibition "Echoes: 50 years of iMaestri", curated by Art Director Patricia Urquiola with Federica Sala.

In a modern and industrial setting inside this historical building in the Cordusio area of Milan, the unique method that Cassina has established over the years to edit the great classics, through the promotion of authenticity and design culture, is recounted. A celebration of the past with a new vision for the future that anticipates the book Echoes, edited by Ivan Mietton and published by Rizzoli, to be released this autumn.

This anniversary represents an opportunity for Cassina to illustrate in a current-day perspective the intense research carried out that, over the last 50 years, has led the company to industrially develop the furniture designed by the great architects of the Modern Movement.

Gufram moves away from the typical colourful look of its collections to explore the extremes of the colour spectrum, presenting some of its most iconic pieces in black and white. The Gufram in Black and White project is supported by the Juventus Football Club, historic ambassador of these colours in the sport world.

Gufram's project for the Design Week continues at Capsule Plaza - the group exhibition debuting at Spazio Maiocchi, where the brand presents its new solution for a total living, The Sculpted Series, designed by long standing collaborator Snarkitecture, the New York-based design practice founded by Daniel Arsham and Alex Mustonen.

Radical and monumental, the new Sculpted Series, is a family of five domestic sculptures available only in black or white including a bookshelf, a bar cabinet, an armchair, a coffee table and low table.
