Milan 2010 in Color
If Milan 2010 were introduced as a new Crayola color, some might argue that "Ash Cloud Grey" would be the most appropriate shade. Air travel through northern Europe at the tail end of the fair was an impossibility due to the eruptions of Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland, so rather than continue to reflect on the city-wide scope of international design on display, Salone ended with a hard-stop for many. Attentions were turned to making one's way—if not back home, then somewhere else—and labyrthine terrestial voyages ensued. Rather than let the volcanic dust remain the predominant shade, I've selected some of the best and brightest that I saw. Click through to the slideshow to see a selection of hue-tiful pieces that truly popped.

Backstory by @shonquis on 1940 Veliero shelving by Franco Albini, recently produced by @Cassina: http://t.co/psNP8BgR #furnituredesign
Seeing that gray is the new beige, the ash cloud seems oddly appropriate. I'm just glad to see a lot of color returning to furniture this year. Although Le Corbusier may be rolling over in his grave with the introduction of pastel and pop-colored LC2s, I think I may have just died and gone to heaven!
nice post. keep post like this....
