Les plus belles scénographies de la Milan Design Week 2023
MILAN DESIGN WEEK • La semaine du design bat son plein dans la capitale lombarde. Du 17 au 23 avril 2023, les éditeurs, marques et designers émergents comme confirmés dévoilent leurs nouveautés au Salone del Mobile, et investissent avec goût les adresses milanaises emblématiques dans le cadre du Fuorisalone.
Exit le salon et ces lieux d’exception, les créatifs se montrent tout aussi subversifs en dévoilant au cœur de leurs showrooms et galeries, des installations et expositions aux décors contemplatifs. Campo Base, Bìlico, Space Couture, Butterfly Effect, Rosso Maraviglia… Voici les coups de cœur de la rédaction.
Campo Base Milano, Federica Sala

If there is one hybrid destination that has been the talk of the Fuorisalone, it is Campo Base, a singular project by curator Federica Sala. There, six Italian studios were asked to design rooms as "manifestos on contemporary interior design": Massimo Adario, Giuliano Andrea dell'Uva, Eligostudio, Marcante-Testa, Hannes Peer and Studiopepe. Each of them contributed their own vision of intimacy and conviviality through six spaces with nuanced and contrasting atmospheres.
Until 23 april 2023 — Via Orobia 11 – Milan Design Week.

Norwegian Presence has set up its ninth exhibition in the streets of Milan's Brera district to showcase the work of the designers, creators and manufacturers who are currently creating in Norway. The space, designed by Kråkvik & D'Orazio and Bjørn van den Berg, boldly showcases Norway's young creative guard, whose work, which is in full swing, values the materials and know-how of circular production. The exhibited creatives to follow closely: Ann Kristin Einarsen, Anna Maria Øfstedal Eng, Lars Beller Fjetland + Hydro, Ida Hagen, Jomi Evers, Live Berg + Osloleire, Martin Høgh Olsen, Noidoi, Stine Aas + Siv Støldal, Studio Sløyd, Svingen Arkitektkontor + Wu Xian and Tobias Berg.
Until 23 april 2023 — Via Pietro Maroncelli 2 – Milan Design Week.

Poikilos, Objects of Common Interest

The theme of this year's NILUFAR exhibitions was 'The Bright Side of Design'. A theme that was followed to the letter, if not excelled, by Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis of Objects of Common Interest who presented their first individual installation. Curated by Studio Vedèt, Poikilos explores the visual phenomenon of iridescence and pays homage to ancient Greece and Hellenic traditions through dark veils contrasted by iridescent resin pieces.
Until 23 april 2023 — Nilufar Depot — Viale Lancetti 34 – Milan Design Week.

Sabine Marcelis x LA PRAIRIE
Sabine Marcelis x LA PRAIRIE, Spazio Maiocchi - Capsule Plaza, Milan
Never disappointing, always surprising, Sabine Marcelis is collaborating with the Swiss luxury house La Prairie. Together they designed a restaurant space inspired by Bauhaus, its clean lines and purity of form, to host a series of intimate dinners organised in collaboration with the gastronomic collective We Are Ona (which is also at Clay Court Club of Cristina Celestino). The beauty brand's signature cobalt blue, given to it by feminist artist Niki de Saint Phalle in 1982, takes centre stage.
Until 22 april 2023 — Capsule Plaza — Via Achille Maiocchi 7 – Milan Design Week.

Bilico de Maximilian Marchesani

Bìlico, the exhibition curated by Studio Vedèt for NILUFAR Gallery as part of the FAR programme, highlights for the first time the creations of Italian designer Maximilian Marchesani. In this softly dreamlike installation, the organic becomes the skin and skeleton of technology. Beech branches bent by steam and accessorised with an electrical connection of brass, rhodium and copper, gracefully invaded the ground floor of the gallery in a fascinating balance between the natural and the artificial.
Until 23 april 2023 — Nilufar Gallery — Via della Spiga 32 – Milan Design Week.

Space couture, DRAGA & AUREL

Also in the exhibition space of NILUFAR Gallery, the 25MQ space has been annexed by the carefree creations of the studio Draga & Aurel. Their Space Couture installation draws its inspiration from the design and artistic experimentation of the 1970s, "a period of rupture, fusion and great creativity". We find for example the SABOT armchair covered with laminate and glossy varnish which gives it the air of an inflatable seat in the style of Jeff Koons, but also the BON BON wall lamps entirely made of multicoloured resin, or the CLAIRE light columns in acrylic and resin inspired by Victor Vasarely's Op Art. A futuristic atmosphere tinged with mischief glorifying a playful and relaxed lifestyle.
Until 23 april 2023 — Nilufar Gallery — Via della Spiga 32 – Milan Design Week.

For several years now, Gallery H+O - created by the Danish designer Josephine Akvama Hoffmeyer and the Italian architect-designer Elisa Ossino - has been setting up shop in a sumptuous Milanese residence on Via Solferino for Milan Design Week. In 2023, she will be inviting the publishers Muuto, TubesRadiatori and V-ZUG to re-decorate the house from floor to ceiling with their fresh and sophisticated furniture for the Butterfly Effect installation.
Jusqu’au 23 avril 2023 — H+O Apartment Gallery — Via Solferino 11, 3è étage, Brera – Milan Design Week.

Nanda Vigo & Claudio Salocchi, Spotti
Nanda Vigo & Claudio Salocchi by Acerbis x Spotti Milanese Utopia
Spotti Milano and Acerbis have joined forces to re-create the Milanese living room of the 1970s. Celebrating the extraordinary creative fervour of the era, the exhibition "Nanda Vigo & Claudio Salocchi - in the Milanese utopia" at Spotti's historic showroom in Viale Piave features the iconic pieces of the Italian designers reissued or remastered. There is, for example, the hairy Due Più chair covered with Mongolian fur recycled from food waste, the Free System sofa upholstered in a comforting curly fabric, but also the Napoleone table, whose rhombuses have been joyfully lacquered with colours in keeping with the times.
Until 22 april 2023 — Spotti Milano — Viale Piave 27 – Milan Design Week.

The high jewellery house Buccellati (Richemont Group) returns to Milan Design Week 2023 with a colourful exhibition. Organised on the large Portaluppi terrace of its headquarters in via Brisa, the Rosso Maraviglia installation is the work of the multidisciplinary studio AMDL CIRCLE and the architect Michele De Lucchi. Together they have transformed the terrace into a modern fairyland containing a garden wrapped in a bright red metal structure. The botanical art installation by artist Lily Kwong invites you to play a treasure hunt to discover the new collection developed with Venini. An opportunity to celebrate two great Italian arts, that of silver and that of glass.
Until 23 april 2023 — Terrasse Buccelatti — Via Brisa 5 – Milan Design Week.
