Profiling Europe’s enduring design capital
Milan Design Week may be over for another year, but the city’s

designers and insiders to find out their impressions and ideas.
Our exclusive interviews offer expert insight and local highlights
direct from influencers from across the design scene, from emerging
trends to standout shows; exciting collaborations to enriching
experiences.

CONVERSATIONS
There‘s nothing like a bit of
insider info, both for zooming
into details and getting a sense of
the bigger picture. Our exclusive
interviews give insights into the
biggest talents to watch, the coolest
products and installations and
the hottest events besides the
Milan Design Week.

PAT R I C I A U R Q U I O L A
PATRICIA URQUIOL A
Designer
Spanish by birth but Italian by preference, Patricia is a
sought-after architect and designer who works with some of the
world’s biggest brands and destinations.
–––– Your TOP 3: Which designs and products touched
& inspired you the most during Milan Design Week?
The ceramic collection of Arita was very good, and also the project
behind it is very interesting: they asked 16 designers to reinterpret the
world of the traditional Japanese ceramic in a contemporary way.
04

–––– 3 trends from Milan Design Week in the fields of Design?
I noticed a particular attention to the use of natural materials like
wood, stones, and care for the research of well-finished material.
Also, technology in relation to design is one of the trends I noticed.
I think – it is very important for design and also for man. We are
looking for a design that adapts to its user providing for his needs
and advances them in a non-pervasive way. People are also attracted
to the customized items, they look for eclecticism, design has to
express irony, has the right mix of materials and colors that look
good together.

–––– Talent you‘ll be keeping an eye on?
S H A P E S H I F T E R S BY A N G E L E N E L AU R A FE N U TA F O R L E X U S
I don’t want to focus the attention on particular designers, but
I ‘m happy to see that the young designers and students are more
interested in doing a good job and saving the world with their
research and design instead of becoming famous.
–––– Your favorite installations and presentations?
I liked the installation made by Formafantasma for Lexus and the
show presented by Nike: Nature of Motion.
–––– Your highlight events & why?
Salone del Mobile is always a big party, it’s like New Year‘s Eve for
me. I especially love the Fornasetti’s party, it marks the end of Salone
del Mobile; beautiful people and music in an amazing place.

ALI MORRIS
Journalist, Wallpaper Magazine
Ali is a design editor of Wallpaper Magazine, an iconic design publication
covering architecture, fashion, interiors and everything in between.
Big Game’s coffee set at Arita 2016 was made using two ceramics
with different porosities. Elsewhere, I was a big fan of everything on
Earnest Studio’s stand at the Salone Satellite, but I thought the Mill
light was particularly clever. I also loved British Japanese ceramics
designer Reiko Kaneko’s new steel frame Orlando lounge chair for
British retailer SCP. It’s her first ever furniture piece and I think it’s
spot on – a generous and inviting seat but with a light and elegant frame.

I noticed a lot of sofas with exposed steel frameworks and strap
details – such as the flat pack Can sofa by the Bouroullecs for HAY,
David Rockwell’s Valet sofa for Stellar Works and Patricia Urquiola’s
Belt sofa for Moroso. There were also a number of new and unusual materials made from waste. In terms of colour, rusty shades of
orange, terracotta, brick red as well as lighter dusty pink tones were
very prominent across the show. Paint brand Jotun, who sponsored
the Norwegian Structure show in Lambrate, summed this up perfectly
with a trio of paint colours that were used throughout the Norwegian
Structure’s exhibition design.

Great emerging talents I spotted at the Satellite were Beijing-based
Frank Chou Studio for his collection that blended Chinese traditions
with modern forms, Mexican/Austrian designer David Pompa for his
clever use of Mexican crafts and materials, and London-based Grace
Souky for her considered, stackable kitchenware pieces that looked
production-ready. The Norwegian Structure show also highlighted
interesting design talents – Bjørn van den Berg and Falke Svatun’s
Aerial floor lamp was a big hit.
C A N S O FA BY T H E B O U R O U L L E C S F O R H AY
No longer just focused on product launches, Milan is increasingly
about entertainment and immersive experiences – very often foodrelated. Tom Dixon and Caesarstone did a good job with their
elemental kitchen installations at a deconsecrated church. Also,
Airbnb’s Makers & Bakers was a great social event that took place
in a restaurant next to Rossana Orlandi. Curated by Ambra Medda,
it gave visitors the chance to actually interact with and enjoy the
designs on show. Seated at long communal tables, we ate food
served up by New Zealand baker Carter Were while using salt and
pepper grinders, cutlery, ceramics, glassware and much more all
designed and made by emerging design talents.

Arita 2016, a new porcelain brand from Arita, Japan, was my
favourite launch. They paired sixteen international designers with ten
potteries in the Arita region and asked them to collaborate to create
a collection of tableware. The resulting pieces were a demonstration
of what can happen when you combine the incredible skill of master
craftsmen with the fresh perspective and creativity of a designer
from a completely different background.

Similar to the fashion industry, there are many new interpretations
of the 50s and 60s and an enormous interest in the Golden Age
with regard to Italian design. This is what we already recognized
last year. The personification and individualisation of products.
The revival of lost values, handicraft and traditional production of
products and fabrics.
The art director of our new brand „Matteo Thun Atelier“ invited
female architects, interior designers and stylists of our office to
develop the limited collection „Gipsy-Love“. The young women
personalized the series of lamps and furniture according to their
very own imaginations. Bravo!

The whole Brera area. Brera is my home. I have been living and
working here for 30 years. It is the dinners at Latteria di San Marco,
symbol of the simplicity of Italian cuisine, and the chats at the news
stand, one of the oldest in Milan, that make me feel at home here.
We are a big family here in Brera that during the Fourisalone grows
even larger, which is beautiful! During the Salone del Mobile, the
whole Fuorisalone is one complete presentation on its own! Nobody
can withdraw themself from the creativity and enthusiam of the
showroom and gallery owners.

Phygital. At last some sparks of the future in Milan: objects embedded

adult chairs.

Foscarini: I had a great dinner at a fantastic restaurant

It turned out to be a mind-blowing experience of great art and
even more astonishing architecture.
Bastiaan de Nennie. Dutch designer who samples existing designs,
deconstructs and remixes them digitally and composes new objects

Scottie Huang. Taiwanese designer who creates phygital objects.
Think mirrors that grow dandelions – but only if you smile. This kind

can create meaningful experiences.

One of the most amazing moments: a visit to the Prada Foundation.
It‘s been redone with so much attention to every detail. And a great
exhibition from Goshka Macuga taking place there right now:
“To the Son of Man Who Ate the Scroll”. Very fascinating and scary.
The Hay presentation in the famous Pelota hall was impressive.
Rolf Hay told me: in a location like this, you can‘t do the smart and
cool small thing. You have to do it big and right. And they did. As
well, Stefan seemed to have this in mind, constructing a tower of new
order shelves in the middle, overlooking the whole hall.
C E N T R E P I E C E BY TO M Á S A LO N S O
The complete Arita 2016 exhibition / lounge was a beautiful experience,
so much heritage and knowledge combined with a line up of great
designers. The Kaleidoscope / Zeit magazine party was a nice event.
When we arrived, drinks were all finished, just some vodka bottles
made the round on the dance floor. But the party was still on, people
dancing in the fog and light machine. Afterwards, we continued (as
always) the evening outside Bar Basso, until the early morning.

TOM ÁS ALONSO
Designer
Spain’s Tomás studied at the Royal College of Art, and won
the Swarovski Designers of the Future Award in 2015. He has run
his own design studio in East London since 2007.
This year has been quite a short one for me in Milan, so I did not
have a chance to see as much as I normally do. Personally, I was very
inspired by the enthusiasm of the craftsmen behind some of the products
we presented when they were invited to visit and see the final
results of their work being presented in this context. From the Japanese
porcelain producers from Arita with whom we worked the last 2 years,
to the whole team behind making the prototypes for the Atelier
Swarovski Home new collections.

My students at the ECAL who were presenting projects as varied
as consumer electronics as a result of a collaboration with Punkt,
studies on how to produce objects with leftover solid oak beams
in collaboration with e15, or a collection of interactive experiments
with objects and virtual reality in When Objects Dream.
I was impressed by Hay’s presentation at La Pelota showing in a very
clear and beautiful way how the brand has grown into all areas of
the home and office into one space. I also really liked Nilufar Gallery’s
show of vintage Brazilian design from 1940-1970, which included
pieces by Oscar Niemeyer and Jorge Zalszupin. At the main fair I
liked the architecture inspired presentations by Cassina (inspired by
Rietvelt) and Knoll by OMA with hints of van der Rohe.

porcelain that grouped 16 designers with 16 companies into a
beautiful exhibition aiming to showcase their incredible know-how
