Milan Design Week is quite unlike any other. It’s a week when excitement, anticipation and inspiration reign supreme. Where everyone has a place to go and where anyone is welcome. The 55th edition of Salone del Mobile lived up to and exceeded everything we were expecting, proving once again that great design is at home in Italy. The unique energy pulsing through the metropolis’ cobblestone and paved streets was palpable to thousands of visitors and locals alike who enthusiastically took in all of the events, installations and venues. As if we were all given the proverbial “keys” to the city, we spent the week uncovering Milan’s many hidden nooks and wandering freely through the open doorways of the grand stone palazzos - ordinarily refuges for only a few - that played host to breathtaking exhibitions that were intended to inspire and enthuse.

And inspired we certainly were. From the Fiera’s organized assembly to 5 Vie’s medieval pathways, the artistic enclave of Brera to the gallery-like warehouses of Ventura Lambrate and every zone in between, each destination spoke its own unique dialect of the same language - incredible design.
