Exciting design as always in my first city, visiting showrooms, walking on the streets, discovering new stores I can tell you that Milan is more alive than ever with culture, fashion, style.
Vibrant or more muted colors are everywhere, definitely not a city for neutral hues, as is a return to the best of the past reinterpreted for our time.
At Nilufar Depot I found these
two exquisite chairs, designed in 1949
by Giulio Minoletti for an
Italian train, the ETR 500.
Taking a picture of delicate 1950’s lights through a
mirror at Nilufar Depot.
Still at Nilufar I saw a gorgeous sleek bronze
bookcase created by the talented
Osanna Visconti di Modrone.
And they showcased also in a splendid mirrored room
the talent of Baciocchi
architect, the firm behind all Prada showrooms and other major projects
worldwide.
A visit to Studio
Castiglioni is always a must in Milan (see my previous post HERE).
In the picture Achille's daughter, Giovanna Castiglioni and I at the entrance to the Castiglioni Studio.
Did I say trends in the title? Well… actually I have not
seen trends,
only timeless style and elegance.
