emu at salone del mobile + fuorisalone + emu at dot. milan design week 2019.

Apr 9, 2019

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.

The olivetti shop in venice. Carlo scarpa.

May 1, 2012

we had just spent five days in milan working the 2012 salone de mobile and were winding down in venice for two days. because this was our first visit it was decided we would walk venice and allotted one hour to visit piazza san marco unless we found something of special interest. i went straight to the olivetti store only to find it closed. the old store, compared to the retailers surrounding it, looked like a polished museum artifact matching a few of the olivetti antiques i could see. you could also see a designer’s eye within the architectural build-out details inside. here’s a collection of images with links and a brief overview.






olivetti’s venice showroom and store was commissioned by adriano olivetti in the late 1950s to architect carlo scarpa who spent two years conceiving the space with a focus on transparencies and materials and was completed in 1959. fol­low­ing a period of restricted access, the store was restored in april 2011 and reopened as a museum, and olivetti has donated a price­less col­lec­tion of vin­tage type­writ­ers and cal­cu­la­tors, iconic sym­bols of italy’s indus­trial and design her­itage.
