Memories from Milan - 2

I posted Memories from Milan soon after my visit to the famous Milan Design Week this April. But I do have many more beautiful photos from this charming city. Enjoy some more of them:

The place where I lived

greenery everywhere, very often on the roofs, too:

no boring window decoration - each one is different

Beauty is in details

Duomo - probably one of the most visited areas, but this one is my favourite - it's cozy, sophisticated and elegant:

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - one of the world's oldest shopping malls. 

Are you impressed

Palazzo Litta - the perfect background for displaying design

Are you fascinated? I am and I am looking forward to seeing more of it next time. See more photos from the exhibitions during Milan Design Week 2017. If you are interested in detailed news and trends analysis, e-mail me.

Hot new kitchens trend:

I saw this trend in Milan during this year's design week and I continue to see it in many new kitchen designs - rediscovering brass:

Not only for taps, but for the whole kitchen island - both, countertop and cupboard covers. Brass is an ancient materials that is strong, good looking and ages well - how do you like the idea?

What is trending in tables

I want to share a trend that I noticed during my last Milan Design Week visit and no one is talking about: cones or any other form of large sculptural blocks are preferred by designers for their new table designs instead of the regular four legs. See some more examples:

As you can see, the same goes for chairs and armchairs. Examples will be shown in my next post. Chech more about Milan Design Week 2017.
