It’s official. 3 days and Milano Design Week 2017 will begin. Among all Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone districts, I decided to dedicate my time to 5VIE and ZONA SANTAMBROGIO.

Let’s start with 5VIE ART & DESIGN, that I’ve already told you about here.

Here are the 10 must-see events of Fuorisalone 5VIE:

1 | A design curated Piazza for creative minds

Masterly – The Dutch in Milano is the exhibition that brings to the heart of the city the works of Dutch designers, artisans, manufacturers and design companies.

Palazzo Litta | Corso Magenta 24

Mosca Partners and DAMn Magazine are the curators and organizers of the third edition of Palazzo Litta’s exhibition. A collective of some of the main protagonists of international design in one of the most fascinating examples of Lombard baroque.  

4 | Blow (s)kulture

Fulcorina17 | via Santa Maria Fulcorina 17

In the space of Matrix4Design Davide Vercelli presents Blow (s)kulture, an interactive audio installation, with variable configuration, composed of 14 oscillating “sails”. Arranged in two rows, the sails are animated by a series of micro-ventilators hidden in its base, whose activation depends on the presence and movements of visitors. A game of sounds worth a try!

5 | BLoft

Casa dello Zecchiere | via del Bollo 3

Not far from the Cathedral, BLoft is a representation of the living spaces dedicated to those who live for quality, functional, concrete and poetic products. An exhibition project for a selection of companies, artisans and designers that is on its way to becoming a shared brand.

6 | BLOW

Seletti flagship store | Corso Garibaldi 117

After Seletti wears TOILETPAPER here’s Blow, a new collaboration between Seletti and Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel, the craziest and most innovative duo in the world of design. BLOW is not only a collection of objects, but a proper design brand: a project aiming at that idea of democratic design that has distinguished Seletti since the beginning.

This new family of objects in true “pop” style is comprised of carpets, neon lamps, folding chairs, mirrors and a set of porcelain dishes, and soon other products will be added.

7 | Tavola scomposta

Flagship Store Tumidei | via Molino delle Armi, 48

Zampieri Cucine presents XP Kitchen Experience, designed by Stefano Cavazzana. A kitchen with a clear design and a metropolitan look: a good balance between aesthetics and functionality, thanks to the materials and the details.
