We received our first batch of images from Milan prior to the start of the show. These photos are of events, installations, and showrooms located around Milan.

Not all the brands show right in the Fiera Milano fair grounds. Some of the brand showrooms are almost as large as ours here in Vancouver.

New from B&B Italia, Established & Sons x Venini, and Cassina.

Designer Focus | Philippe Starck

Wild man, free spirit, just plain crazy, call him what you will, we think he’s genius!

All of his designs are consistent in their eccentricities, you may chuckle when seeing them for the first time but you will always walk away with a little more respect for Mr. Starck. Often copied, never duplicated, Starck pieces speak volumes of the designer’s lust for life and devout passion for aesthetics and function.

Starck was born in Paris on January 18, 1949. He studied at École Nissim de Camondo and opened his first design firm, specializing in inflatable products, in 1968. Starck’s vast repertoire includes commercial and residential interiors, watches, toothbrushes, electronic devices, lighting, and furniture, to name a few.
