corallo brings on stage a suggestive screening room on rails, an unexpected and evocative place, an authentic traveling salon inside a historic tram from 1928, reinvented in a contemporary way by cristina celestino and italian textile brand rubelli
the project is inspired by the theme of the journey, as an experience with dream and surreal overtones, that the designer carries within a d’antan cinema set up.
milan and its urban landscapes are the main subject of the surreal footage that enters through the ribbon windows at the back of the tram, in a dimension that seems to travel in space and time.

snarkitecture worked with caesarstone to create conceptual takes on the kitchen island in an immersive installation at palazzo dell’ufficio elettorale.
a cutting edge: show, bar, hang out, experience, meet, greet and creative hub all-in-one.
bar anne is designed by space encounters, an award winning architectural firm from amsterdam. merged with a spectacular installation by children of the light. the interior is created by some of the biggest break out talents including rick tegelaar, vantot, mae engelgeer, klaas kuiken, dirk van der kooij, muller van severen, jolan van der wiel, handmade industrials, jelle mastenbroek, sabine marcelis, brit van nerven, kranen/gille and aart van asseldonk.
bar anne is far from a regular exhibition. it is not pretentious; it is very easy going. it is low profile instead of high profile. it’s open and not restrictive. it is inclusive instead of exclusive. why? because all the designs are in use. you can try them, test them, sit on them, jump on them and even sleep on them. be our guest.
bar anne stays open when regular presentations close. we start at 11, serve lunch around noon, an aperitivo to get going, a dinner when hungry, a cocktail hour to shake things up and of course there will be music and dancing. till late. but we do not only feed the hungry or thirsty design lovers, together with frame magazine, bar anne hosts a series of talks and discussions about all aspects of design. just relax and listen.
bar anne is centrally located right between the famous zona tortona and the city centre in the historical museo diocesano. this special venue will be transformed into a brand-new hotspot in town welcoming everyone who’s curious and creative. open tuesday 17 till sunday 22 april for drinks, bites, music and more from 11 am to 1 am. anne is a curator, writer, entrepreneur, ambassador of the dutch design scene and mc of bar anne.

the salone del mobile, ponders the possible reconciliation of man and nature with an emotive installation that enters into the debate on the value of sustainable living.
the salone’s city-based project living nature. la natura dell’abitare developed with the carlo ratti associati (cra) international design and innovation studio, will be in piazza del duomo, in front of palazzo reale, from 17th to 25th april.
a single 500 square metres space, conceived with energy saving criteria in mind, will contain four natural, climactic microcosms that will enable all four seasons of the year to unfold at precisely the same time, one next to the other. visitors will be immersed in nature and experience its changes as they make their way through the four different areas: winter, spring, summer and autumn.
the project delivers a great ironic, evocative and experiential value. but the end goals are the reconciliation between urban, domestic spaces and nature on one hand, and, on the other, the suggestion of sustainable, genuinely applicable solutions. while air conditioning is often associated with excessive consumption, this project offers a radical change of perspective, demonstrating the feasibility of air conditioning technology that is also sustainable, with huge potential for future applications.
with this event, the salone del mobile is keen to make its contribution to the re-greening of the city, albeit temporary. living nature. la natura dell’abitare is designed to explore whether or not a space, urban or domestic, can become more human-friendly through the sustainable use of natural resources.
foscarini lamps reverse room is the installation created by the artist and architect james wines, together with his daughter susan wines, for milan design week 2018 at foscarini spazio brera. in a room with dark walls, upside-down and obliquely tilted, furnished by monochrome tables and chairs, the table lamps peer down from the ceiling, while the hanging fixtures sprout from the floor with the aim of challenging our perception of spaces and our responses to environmental stimuli and conventions.
the collaboration between foscarini and wines dates back to more than thirty years ago, with “table light / wall light”, a work produced by the company with wines’ site group in 1991 for the cultural areas of the exhibition in verona “abitare il tempo”.
today that work evolves in the project of a signature collection, the “light bulb series”, composed of a number of pieces in numbered limited editions: a precious collection, due to the story it tells and the thinking it conveys. lamps and objects that make their debut at foscarini spazio brera, in the context of the installation designed by wines.
