Pilar Viladas has written a short, to-the-point article entitled “Milan Report | The Wrap-Up, Part I” for the T-Magazine section of The New York Times, offering her take on some of the highlights of the bewilderingly vast Salone del Mobile 2011 (Milan Design Week) which took place last week in Milan. What catches her attention? Well, to begin with, rockers and rugs. And Urquiolan ubiquity. An abundance of very nice photos, as seen above and below, by Mattia Zoppellaro.
