Wallpaper* Magazine’s Best of Salone del Mobile 2011 in Milan

Posted by the editors on Wednesday, 27 April 2011

‘Entre-deux’ by Konstantin Grcic for Azucena
 
Wallpaper* Magazine has done it once again, offering us their own discerning and fabulous edit of the best of the extravaganza that was this year’s Salone del Mobile 2011 in Milan in a 218-image-strong truly excellent slideshow, here.
 
As Wallpaper* puts it… 

Once again, Salone mania was unleashed and the design world honed in on Milan. This year’s fair, which finished Sunday 17th April, mobilised hundreds of thousands design disciples off their Danish-modern couches back home and through the giant fairground’s gates, as well as key events across the city which included Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines’ Hermès Pavillion, the Rossana Orlandi gallery, Ventura Lambrate and, of course, the Wallpaper* Handmade exhibition at the Brioni House.

Didn’t make it round to all the events? Fear not. We snapped away during the week to show you all the wonders the design world has to offer for 2011…

And take a look at all the rest of our Salone del Mobile 2011 Milan posts, here.

Pavilion of Art & Design London 2010 – Seen by Wallpaper* Magazine

Posted by the editors on Saturday, 23 October 2010

 The Moet-Hennessy-PAD London prize-winning ’Fragile Future Concrete’ chandelier by Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta of Drift, for Carpenter’s Workshop Gallery

Malaika Byng has written a nice little article entitled “Pavilion of Art & Design London 2010″ for the marvelous Wallpaper* Magazine, looking at the ” rich and enjoyable exhibition” of design and art featured at this year’s PAD.  With works dating from 1860 to 2010, there’s no “flood of new products” nor the frenzy of Frieze, but rather a richly satisfying diversity of styles, materials and creative ideas.  Though the prices may be beyond most of our budgets, the beauty of the pieces exhibited is well within our reach.

Very nice slideshow, here.

And a fascinating video of Random International’s sound-reactive ‘Swarm’ light for Carpenter’s Workshop Gallery, here.
