Designed and produced by Skira. Also hosted by Palazzo Reale, from the 13th of April to 24th of May, the exhibition “design for life”, holds 25 years of the story of everyday household objects and ambients, shown through many fine art photos.

In piazza San Fedele with the seven minute performance “Favilla, Ogni Luce Una Voce”, visitors will be guided through a pathway, inside a black box, where different light will be associated with a different sound. This research, on the essence of light, is a project conceived by architect Attilio Stocchi. The show “energy for creativity” hosted by INTERNI is an absolute must-see. Expo Milano 2015’s theme “energy for life”, will be developed and expanded to the tune of city planning and architecture. Many designers, of international fame, with backgrounds in the field of innovation and research, will gather together to develop new ideas for the future. These events will take place between università degli studi di Milano, orto botanico in Brera and via Montenapoleone. One of the more interesting events taking place is “The Garden of Wonder”, a journey trough scents set in Orto Botanico di Brera.

The van's entire side panel opens to reveal a fully-equipped kitchen/prep area, with a raised roof to offer the extra head room. That side panel also houses a 46-inch display where hungry observers can watch the chef's routine. Continuing with the modular construction, a counter slides out the back and the rear door handles storage. There's a trailer too, and it packs in a n espresso machine for a fresh brewed cup and a DJ booth provides tunes while folks dine. Such a luxurious workspace needs talent to make it worth the trouble, so Peugeot enlisted Paris-based chef Sven Chartier for the vehicle's stops at Milan Design Week and the World's Fair Expo Milano. http://www.peugeotdesignlab.com/ © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 02 / Tortona The rational and emotional worlds LG Hausys e Marcel Wanders HI-MACS® by LG Hausys Via Tortona, 27 Marcel Wanders' concept of two opposite worlds for the LG Hausys stand at Milan Design Week 2015 is not just a space arrangement – it is an experience. Inspired by LG Hausys continuous material innovation, versatility and durability, we tell the story of the endless possibilities of LG Hausys' products in relation to our pattern design. The pattern was originally conceived around the themes of macro-cosmos, the layered, ornamental vastness of the Universe, and micro-cosmos, with its ordered systems and patterns which can be found on a microscopic level. This contradiction has inspired the space itself, where the rational and the emotional meet and HI-MACS becomes a piece of art. "We have drawn up a space full of fantasy and surprise, where people can linger, enjoy and encounter the endless possibilities offered by the range of LG Hausys materials. We applied them in their full extension, from wall to floor, from covering to foil, and beyond. The most fun part was to really stretch the different materials' possibilities all the way to the unexpected!", said Marcel Wanders. Experience two contrasting spaces, the rational and the emotional zone. The rational zone, is a fundamentally functional and visually clean meeting space, which encourages dynamic dialog and information exchange. The floors and the walls are executed in metal panels with geometric shapes highlighting the openness and sharpness of the space. In the centre of the room, and inspired by one of Marcel Wanders' patterns, lays an exceptional piece; a slowly rotating imposing 'Medallion' which reveals all the beauty and versatility of the Solid Surface HI-MACS. © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 02 / Tortona Glacier Formation The first exhibition of AGC at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile Superstudio Più Central Point, Via Tortona 27 Asahi Glass Company (AGC) has announced its debut at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile of Milan (14-19 April) with the installation Glacier Formation. The latest new glass products from AGC, “infoverre™” and “Glascene™” (photos on the following page) will be combined with projections of lights and images to create a space permitting a new mode of interaction with information. Walking through this artistic path of glass similar to the formation of a glacier visitors will not only perceive the information that envelops them, but also become part of their own surroundings. AGC is a leader in the production of glass for architecture, vehicles and screens. The use of infoverre™ and Glascene™, products created by the expertise the company has accumulated over the years, the installation at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile will stimulate imagination and creative desire, transferring them into architecture, interiors and the production of spaces on the part of the various designers. The installation will be shown at Superstudio Più Central Point, Via Tortona 27. www.agc-group.com © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 02 / Tortona The Unexpected Welcome! Moooi via Savona 56 From the 13th to the 19th of April, in occasion of the annual Salone del Mobile in Milan, Moooi welcomes you to be blown away by their presentation in via Savona 56. For the 3rd time in a row, Moooi is eager and ready to transform the monumental space of 1.700 m2, by showcasing an assembly of inspirational living quarters, timeless product haikus and a new carpet collection, harmoniously absorbed into the breath-taking depths of Rahi Rezvani’s artistic photography. As always, Moooi strives to make the environment more beautiful, although this year finding your way home has a double meaning: at Moooi’s collection presentation and deep inside you, where emotions and feelings are free to blossom and express their intensity in response to an artistic and surreal world. 21 settings will unfold in front of your eyes in a fascinating combination of 9 home environments, which will inspire you with their sense of style and 12 poetic haiku compositions, which will reveal in an instant how Moooi’s furniture and lighting products can be combined to complement each other perfectly. Simultaneously, a selection of 39 artistic photographs by Rahi Rezvani will be exhibited in all its glory, with a towering height of 4.5 meters, thus generating an emotional trip into the mysteries of the human soul, image by image. 'All people are different, but some are more different than others'* explains Moooi’s Art Director and Co-Founder Marcel Wanders, thus explaining one of the reasons that brought him to single out Rahi Rezvani’ photography as the perfect match for the Moooi presentation. There is a strong affinity between Rahi’s art and Moooi’s designs, for both parties create beauty in an uncommon way and generate strong reactions in the spectators by challenging their imagination. “We are really proud to be the first brand to present the photography of Rahi Rezvani to the world of design. Its style and beauty blend perfectly with the interesting lighting pieces and amazing furniture of Moooi’s new collection”, reveals Marcel Wanders about the artistic cooperation. © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 02 / Tortona “Helio curve” Hyundai Art Point Room - Superstudio Più, Via Tortona 27 Helio Curve is a unique kinetic installation that celebrates movement by creating a living wave.

To mark one of the most important trade fairs in the world of creative design, Alessi is celebrating the 25th anniversary of an iconic object and excellent example of the company’s role as artistic mediator: the “Juicy Salif” citrus squeezer, designed by Philippe Starck in 1990. The project’s origins have been well-documented: Alberto Alessi wished to enrich the catalogue with a tray, a historic Alessi product type which had been part of the company’s collection since it was founded in 1921. In particular, he wanted to see Starck’s take on this particular product, yet for some time received no word from the French designer. Months went by until one day an envelope from the Italian island of Capraia landed on his desk. Inside he found a paper napkin from a restaurant upon which Philippe Starck had drawn sketches for a new citrus squeezer. Starck had been holidaying with his family on the island and was squeezing a lemon over his plate of squid when the shape of this mollusc provided him with the inspiration for the creation of the “Juicy Salif”. To celebrate the anniversary of the “Juicy Salif” citrus-squeezer, two special editions have been created: one in cast aluminium with an opaque white ceramic coating, and the other a limited edition in cast bronze. The former is aimed at all “Juicy Salif” enthusiasts. Its colour alludes to the designer and manufacturer’s shared purity of intent. The white emphasises the product’s shape, setting it apart and highlighting its iconic value. The latter, presented by the prestigious Officina Alessi brand, is produced in bronze in an edition of 299. Its uniqueness underlines the special artistic aura, which has always characterised this Philippe Starck creation. © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 03 / Brera KARTELL BY LAUFEN Kartell by Laufen monobrand store Via Pontaccio, 10 The first Kartell by Laufen monobrand store opens its doors in the heart of Milan`s Brera district concept designed by Ludovica and Roberto Palomba.

Living Matter(s) dives into the world of synthetic fabricated bio materials, objects and projects with comparable qualities. The exhibition gives an insight in applied design and its techniques to work with living materials as a form of new craftsmanship. Living Matter(s) shows a.o. objects grown from fungus similar to natural 3D printing, ivory made from recycled teeth, to synthetic biological breathing leaves that refresh polluted air. Get inspired by these new insights in using living matters in design from the 14th until the 19th of April in the Undai Gallery, Ventura Lambrate. Fungus as a material source that results in growing design objects, is one of the Living Matters on show. In the ongoing research project The Growing Lab designer Maurizio Montalti explores strategies for growing materials and making products, by implementing fungal mycelia. The material and the products grow in a mold by a process that is comparable to a sort of natural 3Dprinting. When the research phase is finished, the first collection of fungus grown products is made for Transnatural. Julian Melchiorri experiments in his Silk Leaf project with another biological process: photosynthesis. Silk Leaf can absorb water and carbon dioxide and convert it into oxygen like a plant. This promising project could lead to a various range of small and large scale architectural and environmental implementations. © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 04 / Lambrate Ventura LOGOTEL PRESENTS "NEED“ Via Ventura 15 Demography, technology, climate, geopolitics, resources, social and cultural transformations: now like never before, change is posing real global and collective challenges, even in the individual sphere. These challenges prompt us to analyse and rewrite our system of needs, starting from questions like “What will we need in the future? What does the future need? Is there any point in planning and working to needs that are no longer current?” To answer these questions, but above all to understand how design can play a fundamental role now and in the future in redefining and reshaping needs, service-design company Logotel presents “NEED, When Design Empowers Human Potential” during Milan Design Week in the Logotel space at 15 Via Ventura from 14 to 19 April. This show – or rather, this journey to explore “needs” through myriad projects by 25 Italian and international designers – takes different meta-design perspectives and relates them to one another. The event presents and spotlights various dimensions of change enacted by reinterpreting or refreshing certain types of need: individual and collective, on micro and macro scales, human or artificial, material and immaterial, present and future. From this viewpoint on the present, in fact, it becomes increasingly vital to broaden your horizons, to venture out there and listen, both to assimilate basic, elementary needs that are re-emerging and to look ahead to future needs. © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 04 / Lambrate Ventura Moleskine Documenting design innovation Via Giovanni Ventura, 14 Moleskine joins forces with Ventura Lambrate to set up a Documentation Centre for design innovation at what has become one of the most prominent and innovative design districts at Milan Design Week.

For Word Cloud’s design, Jaguar designers have cooperated with a number of creatives skilled in computational design, graphic arts, scenographic processing and metalworking, obtaining an original and unique sculpture. The Word Cloud, first exhibited last September in the occasion of the London Design Festival, represents the essence of the new Jaguar XE, the most efficient Jaguar ever, characterized by a lightweight construction, streamlined styling, luxurious interior and an outstanding ride. LA NUOVA JAGUAR XE THE NEW JAGUAR XE The Jaguar XE redefines the concept of the sports saloon and will be the driver's car in its class thanks to Its lightweight construction, streamlined styling, luxurious interior and outstanding ride. The rear-drive XE is the only vehicle in its class to use an aluminium-intensive monocoque. This extremely robust yet light structure, together with double wishbone front suspension and an Integral Link rear axle, is fundamental to the XE's innovative benchmark vehicle dynamics. http://thedesignjunction.co.uk/designjunction-announces-milan-line-new-design-quarter © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 05 / San Babila Design Quarter Housewarming by Airbnb and Fabrica Corso Venezia, 22 Airbnb and Fabrica transform Palazzo Crespi with an interactive artistic experience.

The development celebrated the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte as King of Italy in Milan’s Duomo on 26 May 1805. At the beginning of 19th century, a banker named Prati was the owner of the building which is now known as "Palazzo Crespi". During this period it was referred to as "Palazzetto", given its limited proportions and its sober decoration, a feature still prevalent today on the façade facing Corso Venezia. The Crespi family became owners of the "Palazzo" in the early years of the 20th century. © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 06 / Università degli Studi di Milano - Orto Botanico di Brera © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 06 / Università degli Studi di Milano - Orto Botanico di Brera ENERGY FOR CREATIVITY Università degli Studi di Milano Ca’ Granda ex Ospedale Maggiore Orto Botanico di Brera The new Exhibition-Event of INTERNI (edition 18), ENERGY FOR CREATIVITY (13 April - 24 May 2015), attempts to introduce and develop the themes of Expo Milano 2015 which will open in May 2015. INTERNI will involve, in the magnificent settings of the Università degli Studi di Milano, the Orto Botanico di Brera and a possible 3rd location in a old Palazzo of the city center, a series of internationally renowned designers and leading companies in the field of innovation and research, to make the FuoriSalone in Milan become an open-air laboratory ready to gather and developproposals for the city of the future. Expo Milano 2015 is a platform for discussion from which to launch new objectives for a sustainable millennium, to safeguard biodiversity while protecting knowledge, traditions and entire cultures. Feeding the Planet, providing nutrition, is undoubtedly a necessary action, but it can also be one of the most joyful for humankind; the pleasure of the palate becomes an instrument of knowledge. The flavors and aromas of international cuisines narrate the history and cultures of the societies of our planet. Nourishing our body, however, also means feeding the mind with ideas, proposed solutions and projects. INTERNI ENERGY FOR CREATIVITY sets out to operate in this perspective, joining forces with Expo Milano 2015 in a creative synergy. Architects and designers will be asked to create temporary installations to offer their subjective interpretations of the theme Energy for Life. In this sense, the Event for 2015 of Interni becomes a place of experimentation for the prototyping of installations on different scales that will continue, re-presenting their design message on an urban scale, and for the international audience of Expo 2015, as artifacts and community resources capable of activating processes of encounter and exchange, disciplinary synergies to nourish minds and creativity. © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 06 / Università degli Studi di Milano - Orto Botanico di Brera Deep Words Light Energy For Creativity Università degli Studi di Milano Via festa del Perdono 7 From 13 April to 24 May 2015, to include both the Milan Furniture Fair 2015, will be presented the project “Deep Words Light ”, by Antonio Citterio, Patricia Viel and Partners Studio in collaboration with the Cosentino Group Il progetto Deep Words Light è realizzato da Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners in collaborazione con il Gruppo Cosentino e si presenta come un teatro aperto, che mette in scena l’architettura della corte del Richini.

Over the last several years, experimental molecular cocktail mixing has created quite a movement, with specialized liquid laboratories opening up across the globe. While the scientific side of mixology has been well established — extending from the techniques utilized in molecular gastronomy — there has been very little innovation regarding new equipment, tools and technology to further enhance this industry. The ‘sodastream MIX’ designed byyves béhar is a response to this ever growing trend, to host more elaborate cocktail parties on a commercial level, but also within the domestic domain. The ‘sodastream MIX’ concept has been developed as the first appliance to carbonate, any and all liquids — from pure fruit juices to alcoholic beverages — bringing forth a renewed cocktail experience that intensifies the senses. the compact appliance opens up a new product category for the bar industry and has been envisioned as a fully integrated and connected device. As the first of its kind, the machine offers sophisticated home users and professional bar tenders opportunities to explore and share recipes and mixology ideas with others around the globe, making the ‘sodastream MIX’ a truly social experience — set to bring forth huge opportunities for innovation, creativity and debate revolving around ‘the future of the bar’. After two years in development, MIX’s advanced technology has already garnered admiration from the world’s leading beverage professionals, who believe the unrestricted use across all drink formats will stimulate new beverage possibilities. The MIX combines technological breakthrough with the most advanced user interface ever seen in kitchen appliances and most importantly it allows home users & professional mixologists to create new exciting beverages they could have not done before! this is the most innovative product sodastream has ever put forward.’ – yaron kopel, chief innovation & design officer at sodastream ‘the MIX reveals an entire new generation of sodastream products that the company has been developing for the last few years. its potential is tremendous and we are extremely excited to unveil it in milan.’ – daniel birnbaum, CEO at sodastream © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 07 / Sant’Ambrogio The Future Of The Bar: Designboom X Sodastream Talks Teatro Versace, Piazza Vetra, 7 On the occasion of milan design week 2015, DESIGNBOOM x SODASTREAM bring together the leaders of the design industry, with protagonists of the culinary and mixology world — to engage in a greater dialogue revolving around ‘the future of the bar’.

Organised by Domus with the support of Lexus, the exhibition revisits the experiences of youth that helped forge the personalities and map the lives of ten greats who have shaped the evolution of design. What they designed, how they lived and what inspired the young minds of these thinkers, experimenters and bold visionaries destined to become legends. The initial thoughts, first productions and new intuitions of the 20th-century masters show how, in the past, young talents managed to fuel an inner passion through relations, contacts, intellectual exchanges, study trips and early publications. Surprising, unexpected and sometimes perplexing, these figures successfully changed points of view and found new keys to the contemporary world. Sharing a prodigious creative and design talent, those featured in the exhibition were discovered and launched by Domus, some in the very years when Mendini and Bellini were at the helm – two outstanding innovators who created and nurtured several generations of great designers. Never previously seen objects, sounds, sketches and models, prototypes, recently recorded memories and extraordinary archive films, thoughts, ambitions and hopes – all celebrating the fertility of youth with a desire to inspire future generations of designers to carve out their own paths with optimism and curiosity, embracing life and a love for this exceptional profession. © DESIGN GROUP ITALIA 2015, April 15 Lee Broom "immersive journey through a cinematic pastiche of a store“ Via Alfredo Cappellini.
