Milan Design Week 2014 Recap
Our editors' picks from Milan's annual design week, including the Salone Internazionale del Mobile fairground and the design districts around town. Check out preview posts (onsite and offsite) as well as Dwell's Instagram feed for more action.
The Scale of Things—an exhibition encapsulating Swedish design by Jens Fager, Folkform, Färg & Blanche, Jonas Wagell, Lukas Dahlén & Matti Klenell—dealt with the concept of size: "to scale down, scale up, scale in relation between objects and between images and reality." Shown here is Lukas Dahlén's Weave cupboard.
HAY's pop-up with Wrong for HAY, by British designer Sebastian Wrong, was the toast of the town. They installed a mini-market for cash-and-carry purposes (props to the Nathalie du Pasquier tote bags) and showed a few upcoming pieces, including modular shelving and a series of household goods by Shane Schneck.
One of the many projects presented by Amsterdam studio Scholten & Baijings during Milan Design Week 2014 were these cut crystal tumblers for new Irish company J. HILL at Rossana Orlandi. They also showed pendant lighting for Moooi, a chair for Moustache, a bunch of items for HAY, and tables for Karimoku New Standard.
