Apartment Therapy called this year’s show-stopping booths “a mix of design carnival, furniture circus and visual theme park,” and if we’ve learned anything so far from Salone Milan this year, it’s that designers love a good show. Years of planning and hard work go into each and ever product featured on the exhibition floor, but what would these designers be without a good display? Out of the hundreds of chairs at Salone, what draws your attention to one and not another? Let’s take a look at who’s sitting down on the job and who’s strutting their stuff.
Kartell’s unabashed use of red is real winner in my book. Displaying all their wares side by side in a single color is also an effective way to show off the individuals designs without distraction. It’s simple, bright and straightforward, and the flawlessly executed big, bold lettering is downright eye-arresting.

I also love the collaged wall mural Dedon used. Their mostly neutral-colored wares benefit from the backdrop of bright shapes and patterns.

Lastly, Alias wins for cleverness with their great wall of stacked chairs. Talk about a way to effectively display your product while using the product as the display itself. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that all of these booths also have stellar products to hawk.

view of ten thousand waves. nine-screen installation, 35mm film transferred to high definition, 9.2 surround sound, 49 min 41 sec.
Isaac Julien/Creative Caribbean Network at the Bass Museum of Art in partnership with PUMA.Creative presents the most comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s work in the last ten years. The exhibition features the US premiere of the installation Ten Thousand Waves along with films and photographs from earlier series Paradise Omeros, Better Life, Baltimore, and Vagabondia. In subtle yet complex narratives, Julien’s body of work is a meditation on the cultural impact of global migration. His installations are presented on an epic scale; poetic and art-historical references are interwoven into frank portrayals of human drama.
Conceived and made over four years, Ten Thousand Waves meld the legendary siren of Chinese cinema Maggie Cheung; rising star of Chinese film Zhao Tao; poet Wang Ping; master calligrapher Gong Fagen; artist Yang Fudong; acclaimed cinematographer Zhao Xiaoshi; and a 100-strong Chinese cast and crew. The film’s original musical score is by fellow East Londoner Jah Wobble and The Chinese Dub Orchestra and contemporary classical composer Maria de Alvear.
