the 2019 edition of the milan design week sees emu‘s prestigious partnerships, as it renews its participation in two very popular events within the fuorisalone.
the brand will take part in dot, design outdoor taste, the event dedicated to outdoor living, set in the elegant piazza san marco in the heart of the brera design district. emu’s participation will be extraordinary, as it is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its iconic chair, rio, with the sensorial installation, hourglass, “an hourglass symbolizing the link between real-life experiences, which make us who we are, and the desire to follow new paths, to begin a new era.”
the historic, little armchair, created in 1970 and considered one of brand’s greatest global successes, stands within the structure in an ideal handover with the rior50, the celebratory re-edition designed by emanuel gargano and anton cristell, who have also created the display concept. the complete rior50 seating collection, including not only the little armchair, but also a chair, lounger, stool, rocking chair and coffee table, can also be seen among the new products at the salone.
emu presents at 2019 exhibition of salone del mobile its new outdoor collections, based on experimentation and technological research.
its furniture sets are characterized by an increasingly distinctive design, capable of meeting the needs of both residential and contract sectors, thanks to versatility, wearability and recognizable but in continuous evolution style.
emu, which always stands out because of its innovative, high quality and with strong identity products, introduces this year interesting materials, which give birth to matchless new furnishings.
emu’s new outdoor products will also be on show in hall 5, stand d10 at the trade fair, salone del mobile, at rho fiera.

above > adonis by marcel wanders
barovier&toso presence is twofold, as has been the case for some time now presenting both at euroluce as well as flourisalone.
one of the new creations to be presented at euroluce 2019 is adonis, a collection of chandeliers created by marcel wanders. the dutch studio, which has been working with barovier&toso for years, has focused on an exceptional mixture of elements: on the one hand, the classic motifs of the venetian glassmaking tradition, and on the other the introduction of original forms derived from the philosophy and stylistic language of marcel wanders.
featuring two models, the adonis collection suggests the dutch flower par excellence: the tulip. the closed, enveloping and secretive form of its petals has inspired an eclectic, fascinating design that gives rise to a luminous spindle in the space.
our booth d19, hall 9 at euroluce (fiera milano rho) is a project by alessandro piva who was inspired by the colors theme of the brand new palazzo barovier&toso in murano: several single color rooms, showing a single collection each.

what has driven marta sala to now start her own line of furniture and objects, distinguished by the charming acronym msé? what kind of reasoning inspires an entrepreneur who – although still young as an exponent of a second family generation – has already gained many years of experience dealing with designers and manufacturing? is there more calculation or risk, boldness or recklessness, behind such a decision, at a time like this?
probably nothing of the sort. one would say rather, seeing the tangible results of this new project, that naturally arise from the dna of an artistic family (her mother is maria teresa tosi, founder of azucena with her uncle luigi caccia dominioni and ignazio gardella, two giants of critical modernism in architecture), the desire to tackle that 10% inspiration, 90% transpiration.
be@rbrick shadow by medicom toy is a block figure in the form of a bear, approximately 7 cm in size, and was introduced in 2001 on the 100th anniversary of the birth of teddy bear, under the concept to create a “digital teddy bear”.
it is characterized by the rule that no three-dimensional addition is to be made to the nine existing basic parts that compose the figure (head, arms, wrists, body, waist and legs) and that the only alteration is to be made solely by the expression through print.
be@rbrick has collaborated with various brands and artists as well as anime and movies.

after ten years of activity, brera design district presents the 10th edition of its design week, choosing an inspirational theme, born during brera design days 2018: sustainability and a green and choice-conscious design. design your life, that draws inspiration from bill burnett and dave evans’ book (designing your life: how to build a well-lived, joyful life, alfred a knopf inc, september 2016), is the title of brera design week 2019, a collective call to pay more attention to project’s impact.
if we were to adopt a design approach in our day-to-day choices, in our everyday life, we would probably be happier and less stressed. suffice it to consider an error contained in a project, as an element recognized as fundamental in the research process that helps bring to perfection. we ask designers to be more committed to the sustainable impact of their work. we ask everyone to behave as daring designers, because everyone’s thoughts and contributions are now essential.
thinking about the theme, design your life is conceptually linked to our 10th anniversary, identifying ten vertical sub-themes, ten ways in which the main theme can be interpreted by professionals, designers and researchers who tangibly contribute to building a sustainable world with their work. thanks to the experience gained with brera design days, we focused on a varied range of professionals among them who provide a perspective and a design approach capable of representing different aspects of sustainability.
the 10 ambassadors of brera design week 2019 are: marco mari and carlotta borruto from italia innovation (design your community); mauro martino from ibm research ai, northeastern university (design your creativity); oliver marlow from studiotilt (design your emotion); mario cucinella from mca and sos school of sustainability (design your future); daniel and markus freitag from freitag (design your ideas); thayse viégas from casa canvas (design your imaginations); aldo cibic (design your memories); stefano maffei from politecnico di milano (design your transformation); ben sheppard from mc kinsey design index (design your value).
design and vitra are practically synonymous. the family-owned swiss company is trusted with manufacturing the works of some of the world’s most respected and renowned designers. think eames, vernor panton, and jean prouvé —these are just some of the iconic names that have entrusted them to manufacture their pieces.
this year, vitra design museum is leading the charge in moving the conversation around design forward through a conference called the politics of design. the day-long affair will address design as a political activity with the idea that designers are constantly making decisions regarding social issues such as inclusion, identity, and sustainability. the aim of the conference is to explore the big question that surrounds this line of thinking: “while design is a powerful took for social and political change does it really have an effect on things?”
taking place on april 10 from 1:45 to 6:30, the day will be broken into three parts with top players in the fields of design, philosophy, sociology, and politics speaking on panels. confirmed speakers include paola antonelli, bruce sterling, danah abdulla, jan boelen, claudia chwalisz, indy johar, amelie klein, and etienne turpin.
the politics of design is presented by the vitra design museum and will take place april 10 at trienalle milano, teatro dell’arte.
