From Gucci to TooGood: 5 discoveries of the Milan Design Week 2024

The design week in Milan has just begun, but we have already highlighted the main events of this season. Do not miss the most exciting events that will inspire you to reorganize home space.

Gucci Design Ancora

Sabato de Sarno, the new creative director of Gucci, is behind the idea of ​​a new brand project: Gucci Design Ancora. The collection was shown on April 15 and represents a reprint of the five significant works of the Golden Age of Italian design.

Products updated in the color of Rosso Ancora (a spectacular wine color selected by de Sarno to designate the new head of the company) will be presented at the Milan Design Week in the Gucci boutique on VIA Montenapoleone Street, 7.

The interior for this collection of design work was developed by the Spanish architect of Guillermo Santom in cooperation with Sabato de Sarno. The Italian designer chose a green color that contrasts beautifully with dark-bearded products, and Santoma created the perfect space for presenting furniture. If the whole collection were presented in one space, the living room would have turned out, so another path was chosen, turning interior items into works of art.

The items included in the collection are icons of Italian design and were created in collaboration with several Italian design firms.

• STORET dressed up, developed by Vigo Nanda for Acerbis (1994, reprinted in 2020).

• CALESSIDRA carpet developed by Nikolo Castellini Baldisser according to the project of his grandfather Pierrot Portlupi (reprinted CC-Tapis in 2024).

• PAROLA lamp, developed by GAY AULENTI and Pierrot Castilli for FontanaAarte (1980).

• Sofa “Le Mura” Mario Bellini for Tacchini (1972, reprinted in 2022).

• Opachi vase, created by Tobia Scarp for Venini (1960, reprinted in 2021).

Rude Arts Club from Faye Toogood + Tacchini + CC Tapis

Rude Arts Club is a vacation from the Milan fuss during a week of design, when hundreds of thousands of visitors are crowded on the streets and events held on every corner of the city. Two design collections were parallel on Milan Square Square Square. The multidisciplinary designer Faye Toogood is in the focus of this event, which shows its Cosmic furniture collection in cooperation with Tacchini and the RUDE carpet collection, created with CC-Tapis.

Space is a house decorated with color and emotions. This is a house full of unique rooms, each of which is decorated in accordance with the work of a British designer. The carpets are hung along the walls, as if these are ancient works of art, and the interiors are filled with spectacular seats and sofas with satin trim. Everything is spectacular and very colorful.

The event goes far beyond the demonstration of furniture and carpets. In this beautifully designed house there is also a cinema hall, where composer Georgio Di Salvo created an exciting atmosphere with the help of music. In addition, the famous Milan bar Bene Bene spent truly unforgettable evenings here. On some walls, the initial sketches of carpets, developed jointly with CC-Tapis, demonstrating the workflow that underlies these impressive designs also hang.

Gallery UNNO ​​is an exhibition Origen

UNNO returns to the Milan week of design to present Origen, a collective exhibition of four Latin American artists and designers. Thanks to the work of Mark Grattan, Estudio Persona, Habitación 116 and Andrea Vargas Dieppa, this exhibition helps to explore the myths and fairy tales of antiquity telling about the origin of mankind.

For Maria Dolores Urib and Laura, Abbettoretti (founders of UNNO ​​Gallery), Origin’s goal was to combine the work of several artists from different parts of Latin America, who interpreted the concept of “origin” in different ways. Thus, the idea is realized with the help of a series of very different design elements filled with traditions and cultural features.

This exhibition can be seen at Via Palermo 8.

Collections Acerbis and MDF Italia

The center of the Design Week in Milan is Salone del Mobile. At this fair, taking place at a large exhibition site near the city, there are presentations of thousands of international design firms that choose Milan every year to show their collections and new products. This year, two Italian firms, MDF Italia and Acerbis, forming trends in interior design for a year, together demonstrate their collections.

MDF Italia updates its portfolio of designers and projects, presenting a selection of new products and collections. Bonnet tables from Mariyala Irvin, Peggy chair from Joe Titroto, Cantle chairs from Marco Lavit and Edo from Tommaso Calder – here are some of the brand new products. But, of course, the most striking offer of the season is the Array sofa developed by Snuffa. The sofa is a universal and flexible modular structure, consisting of small independent parts, which allow you to create an endlessly long sofa of both curved and direct shape.

For its part, Acerbis, in collaboration with the architect Pitsu Kedem, created a unique and unique space for the event, presenting its new designs: Lokum tables made by Sabi Marselis, and Elitra furniture from Pietro Russo in a series of various configurations.

The exhibition is a dialogue between two Latin American design studios-Palma from San Paulo in Brazil and Bravo from Santiago in Chile. Both studios represent new collections that combine traditions and combining traditions and combinations. Mastery with new technologies.

Palma represents a Bingo collection, which includes a wide range of objects carefully made by hand, such as a floor lamp, a table lamp, a bedside table, a chair or a mirror.
