Inexhibit features the Milan Furniture Fair and its related events this year as well, with original coverages and photos on the most interesting exhibitions.

Milan Design Week 2015 | 14-19 April, 2015

We begin by anticipating two major events that, among the many programmed, will be running during the Fair.

La Passeggiata (The Walk), presented inside the pavilion 22-24 of Workplace 3.0 /Spazio Ufficio is a large installation focused on space for work and designed by Michele de Lucchi, who sees it as a constantly changing social space where conventions are broken and new ideas fostered through interaction.

Favilla. To every light a voice is an installation that will be located in Piazza San Fedele, Milan, and a narration about the essence of light. Conceived to celebrate the UNESCO International Year of Light and light-based technologies and linked to the Euroluce section of the Milan Furniture Fair, FAVILLA is a project by architect Attilio Stocchi. Through an immersive experience, the visitors will be able to learn about the physics of light along an itinerary housed inside a large “black box”.

Inexhibit will extensively cover the FuoriSalone 2015 events that, running across Milan during the Furniture Fair, form the Milan Design Week, the most important design happening in the world. The Fuorisalone involves the entire city, but since some years, many of the most important events are located inside the so-called “districs”.

The Ventura Lambrate project has been started in 2010 in the Lambrate neighborhood, an industrial district in north-west Milan. Each year, a professional public pay a visit to the district, its former factories and its courtyards, looking for the most advanced design proposals, the most interesting young designers, grasping new ideas and doing business.

The events programmed in the district located around via Paolo Sarpi are traditionally focused on Oriental design and aimed to connect Eastern and Western creativity, hence the title of the district: “Sarpi Bridge”.
