Salone del Mobile di Milano 2011

Since I discovered the existence of it I've always tried to be there, at least for a day. In this period Milan turns in a young, colorful, multi-ethnic city full of business women and men, designers and students ready to promote their projects or discover the other's ones. It's the Milan Design Week, or Salone del Mobile (this year fifty years old). I've just had the chance to visit the Salone Satellite, a space exclusively dedicated to young designers and students, some of the Design pavillions and, obviously, Zona Tortona, which is the most known area of Fuorisalone. There's a few things I'd like to share with you, I start today with a classic: Vitra's stand, classy as usual. (Please also note the tiny hippo on the red carpet and the I LOVE NY cup on the table!)
