I have found my favorite desk at Salone del Mobile 2009 !


I just found my favorite working desn on Flickr Photo Download: Salone del Mobile 2009 Milano Gallery 2_8775 - this is SOCIALisBETTER's photostream, but could not identify the supplier or the designer. I will be happy to learn who are they? If you have idea, please write it down here below in the comments.
Isn't it the best of both worlds - to work on your PC and at the same time make your daily work out?

More African Inspiration from Milan




An inspiring addition to the African influence trend from Milan Design Week:
with a fantastic installation designed by Stephen Burks and commissioned by Patrizia Moroso a culture that has been somehow ignored brought in Milan with its striking colours, patterns and weaves the sun of Africa. Moroso's M'Afrique installation in the Italian Superbrand's showroom on Via Pontaccio showed alongside work by African artists Fathi Hassan and Soly Cissé also iconic pieces of furniture from Moroso's archive covered in African fabrics. I like my favourite designer's Patricia Urquiola works Fjord and Bohemian much more in their African clothes!

Good Design for Children


Toys are important - they create our children's good taste, stimulate creativity and imagination. That is why good design for children is of great importance. I just came across these beautifully designed toys:


Max Push Car by Sirch
- Designed for families with aesthetics in mind, yet still fun for kids, made to be paired with the LORETTE trailer to take your toys with you.
Sibi products have been awarded the prestigious German "Spiel Gut" design award for toys.

Another Favourite from Milan - Evolution or Rococo and Minimalism Together

How do you like the evolution of furniture design for the last centuries? I am curious to see your answers - this exquisite piece of furniture is an example of where we have been and where we are now just in one elegant product!

Evolution - "Unique precious masterpiece, characterized by the combunation of the hand-carved solid oak with the essentiality of contemporary style. Enriched by handles in burnished brass. Available in natural or tinted oak." is the description on the site of Emmemobili. Design Ferruccio Laviani.

So - which part do you like more? I like it as it is - both complement each other!
