Milan Design Weeks
June 2022

On the occasion of Interni Design Re-Generation exhibition organized by the magazine directed by Gilda Bojardi, CRA – Carlo Ratti Associati and Italo Rota design Feeling The Energy, an interactive installation at Milan’s Botanical Garden for Plenitude. The project uses 500 meters of anti-bacterial copper pipe to create a path where people can discover multiple forms of sustainable energy production and play with its resulting effect: sound, light, evaporative cooling, in an interactive experience. The exhibition magically follows the Orto Botanico di Brera existing trails. Human interaction is made safe thanks to the anti-bacterial properties of copper, which was contributed by multinational manufacturer KME.

The immense spaces of the former Pelota return to serve as the setting for the presentation of the new home collection signed by Hermès, in this setting that is always awe-inspiring. The artistic direction is by Charlotte Macaux-Perelman and Alexis Fabry, and the setting each year amazes with its simplicity and at the same time its power: this time everything is designed under the banner of lightness, like a challenge to gravity, which is expressed through the presentation of home objects presented inside four structures. Each object is an expression of savoir-faire and the result of extreme precision. Six creations give shape to this manifesto to lightness: they are all made of cashmere, one of the maison's favorite materials, an infinitely delicate natural fiber that combines strength and brilliant colors. The workmanship is made with strips of cashmere that form the pattern; hand-woven and hand-dyed squares create patchworks of shimmering colors; geometric shapes assembled with relinking evoke stained glass mosaics; a large bedspread brings color, patchwork and the quilting tradition into dialogue. Then there are objects, porcelain and furniture that assert their singularity: a sheet of leather cut, folded and hand-painted becomes a centerpiece; porcelain plates reflect sunlight; bamboo lends delicacy and strength to a seat. The lightness of lines generates a timeless style.

“Between Space and Time". The theme of Fuorisalone 2022 focuses on these two concepts and their possible expressions. Stark grasps this opportunity to investigate the time-space/environment relationship by means of a visual and experiential installation. That is how it take shape “Momentum”, a Stark installation that embodies two visions of time, scientific time and the human lifetime, time as we experience it.

In the last two years, perceptions of space and time have changed drastically, and our experience of our present, past and future has expanded and become confused, with a gradual loss of clear points of reference, leading to greater uncertainty. This new lack of clarity in our daily lives is accompanied by changes to the environment and climate. These are often played down and overlooked because they are viewed as slower and more gradual than the actual speed and unpredictability with which these changes are taking place. As they immerse themselves in the work, people participate in a shared experience constructed with light and sound, which reveals the relationship between absolute time, which proceeds inexorably, and perceived time, which we have the power to modify.

The work thus invites us to reflect on our actions, and how they interact and interfere with space to transform it: creation is still possible, in spite of the inexorable march of time.

Matter by Norwegian Presence is a celebration of materiality and ingenuity featuring some of the most exciting designers and progressive manufacturers working in Norway today.

Held in the setting of Galleria Milano and curated by Kråkvik & D’Orazio, Matter by Norwegian Presence brings together products from leading design talents and the country’s most respected manufacturers. The exhibition showcases and celebrates the material honesty, sustainable practices, solution-oriented thinking, and nature-inspired aesthetic that define Norwegian design today.

Examining Norway’s access and approach to natural resources, Matter by Norwegian Presence features a Material Lab – a special exhibit that chronicles the transition from raw material to finished product, demonstrating how a material’s inherent natural visual and textural characteristics are expressed in the final design.

Diverse in inspiration, approach, and output, the featured designers are all, in one way or another, exploring new materials for the good of the planet. For some, that means finding new applications for Norway’s natural materials such as wood, wool, stone and aluminum; for others, it means tapping into waste streams to create new products from what would otherwise be discarded.

Tai Ping presents for the first time in its Milanese showroom, Floræ Folium, a set designed by Sam Baron. The French designer has created a unique installation introducing three original rugs, each celebrating the true technical capabilities of Tai Ping, resulting in a dramatic design solution that takes creativity to the next level.

Sam Baron revisited the very roots of his craft as a source of inspiration. Paper and pencil, graphite, chalks, brushes, and colours were used to create whimsical compositions in which our eye is invited to wander. Colour washes, strokes, and fades emerged during the creative process, from which the subtleties offered by aquarelle and drawing bore three distinct pieces: Regalis, Borealis and Anamorphosis.

Casa Baglioni, the new hotel in the Baglioni Collection set to open in Milan’s Brera district this year to a design by architects Spagnulo & Partners, offers a look behind the scenes during Milan Design Week, as it becomes the stage for the art exhibition In-Between. Where Art meets Design.

Spagnulo&Partners have created a show to explore the subtle relationship between art and design that underpins the concept for the new Casa Baglioni. It features works by four great international artists, Enrico Castellani, Agostino Bonalumi, Anne Imhof and Giulio Paolini, from the Stefano Cecchi Trust Collection, created by entrepreneur Stefano Cecchi and curated by Iole Pellion di Persano.

The exhibition endorses the idea of a dialogue between interior design and works of art as a means of discovering new visual languages. It is a process that leads to a vision of an integrated space where art, design and architecture interweave to create a world of original expressive possibilities.
