the second edition of 1+1+1, a project by elena quarestani and curated by marco sammicheli, continues to explore the relationship between art, architecture and design in the works of three different authors. an architect, an artist and a designer have been invited to make new, site specific installations in the exhibition halls of assab one. the different codes and references of each particular discipline dissolve and converge in pursuit of creative visual search in painting and light, material and form, sound and performance.
johanna grawunder, american architect, constructs two large paths of light and co- lour into which the visitors can enter and wonder. bright hanging constructions in di- verse material and the surrounding darkened space offer an experience of crossing between reality and vision. the title of her installation is alone together.
christoph hefti, swiss designer, will install a surreal encampment where carpets, ceramics and other objects create a place of chance encounter between the imagination of the author and the reaction of the visitors. an installation of a visual and tactile arcipelago, full of suggestive sounds. the title of his installation is that horse, slamming doors.
antoni malinowski, london based, polish born painter alternates the selection of light sensitive paintings with light specific wall drawings. malinowski’s work examines the dynamic of light and pigment interactions on the junction of the pictorial and architectural spaces. the title of his installation is almost seen.
*during the days of milano design week assab one will host a special project by students of isia of faenza, coordinated by designer andrea anastasio.
lindsey adelman partners with calico wallpaper to present a joint installation of new lighting collection, drop system, alongside their debut of oceania. entitled beyond the deep, the multi-room presentation explores the effect of naturally occurring chemical reactions on surfaces and will immerse viewers into a dreamy world of alchemy and decay.
drop system, inspired by rows of bare bulbs in nyc subway tunnels and mondrian’s broadway boogie woogie, is comprised of brass tubing and handblown mini globes. lindsey challenged herself to be reductive in the number of unique elements such as straight lines and circles, to achieve the optimum number of potential configurations and range of aesthetic directions. drop system can be customized as a minimalist, spare configuration or accumulate to become a more opulent, drippy organic composition.
this exhibition will also show the next iteration of liminal collection, which was debuted at design miami in 2017 in an installation entitled “the edge of what we know.” this collection is intentionally “off menu” and much more sculptural in nature. each mobile-like assembly is a one-off piece characterized by a spontaneous and raw sensibility.

a space in which the experiential journey created by artist carlo bernardini, through a specific study of optical fibers that draw light shapes, brings the visitors to discover the energy of the new hyundai kona, first compact suv available also in full electric version, and the concept kite, electric dune buggy made by students of turin based ied’s master in transportation design with the support of hyundai’s european design center.
walking through the light installation, visitors will be brought in a dimension permeated by pure energy, that shows itself in geometries and perspective games crated by luminous optical fiber in the dark.
in bernardini’s works in fact, light is mediated by the use of optical fiber, which the artist uses since 1996, and with which he creates sensational effects of geometries and spaces that multiply the possibilities of vision and perception of the spectator, who finds himself inside the installation having the impression of being in front of a different artwork for each point of observation.
in a journey in which touch and hearing are also engaged, in addition to sight, “energy zone by hyundai” visitors enter a dimension where emptiness and darkness are the true substance, and where light becomes a mean to mold space, forcing them to use their imagination to see (or not to see) an invisible dimension.
during this year’s milan design week, vitra will supplement its exhibition stand at the salone del mobile furniture fair with a large installation “typecasting. an assembly of iconic, forgotten and new vitra characters” in the former sports arena la pelota. the exhibition is curated by the designer robert stadler.

milan design market is a project created by blank, a creative agency based in milan. it’s a space dedicated to emerging designers and brands, who can exhibit and sell their creations, but also network and develop new business opportunities during milan design week.
2018 is the third edition of milan design market during milan design week. also this year will be one of the main events of isola design district and will be organized within the beautiful loft of 400 sqm, in the courtyard of via pastrengo 14.
many new features await you, starting with a pop-up concept store, where visitors can discover and buy products of emerging international designers, handpicked between more than 1.000 applications. in addition, there will be 5 areas dedicated to italian startups and design studios, with a total of almost 100 projects displayed, between interior design and furnishing accessories.
the setting up of the space will be managed by the creative director elif reşitoğlu, with the aim of creating ‘imaginary landscapes’. you will then be involved into architectural environments designed by the dutch architect sven jansse and printed on a 1:1 scale, which will be scenography of the exhibition.
beside the exhibition there will be a design bar set up by the experimental designer federica cristaudo and managed in collaboration with birrificio la ribalta and ink eat, as well as daily dj sets and events, mostly during the happy hour (18: 00/21:00).
the idea was very simple: a space where emerging designers and brands could exhibit and sell their creations during milan design week, even with a low budget; a space where they could network and develop new business opportunities.
last edition of mdm was hosted by a beautiful 400 square meters loft, where 35 designers came to showcase their products from all over the world, meeting around 13.000 visitors. soon mdm will be also an online platform where designers can have visibility and sell their products through an e-shop.
