YDN Designguide takes you on a tour through a selection of Ventura Lambrate. The new exciting area of the Salone in Milan thats taken 2 years to mature to what it is today. As a reaction to the never ending cocktail openings and masses of drunk italians in Zona tortona, Organisation in Design decided to gather some of the best designers and collectives in a new area of Milan.
text from the organisation:
“The goal with Ventura Lambrate is to offer the international design world a new area in Milan, where the focus will once again be on the quality of the presentations, the substance of the exhibitors and the content of the works. With space for renowned established designers, emerging young designers, creative labels, interesting initiatives, small surprises and exciting presentations. The aim is to make Ventura Lambrate an area where both the press and the public are positively challenged by qualitative presentations, interesting exhibitions and new designs.”

YDN Designguide takes a look at the new projects exhibited at the Spazio Rossana Orlandi gallery, always a favorite amongst the Milan Design week visitors.

Some of the projects like the animals by Frederique Morrel really caught our attention. There’s always a high number of projects from the Design academy Eindhoven but more often these days we see projects from other schools such as the Konstfack from Sweden as well. BCXSY took their inspiration to Japan and worked together with craftsman on their new “origins” project. And Formafantasma showed their new adventure in the Autarky exhibition found in the basement of the gallery.

YDN Designguide presents the 2010 collection of Established & Sons, first shown in Milan. We speak to Martino Gamper and Scholten en Baijings about their new work.

text from Established & Sons:

“In Milan 2009 Established & Sons created an enclosed and concealed environment to display the collections, visitors were forced to enter into a ‘shanty’ or ‘township’ installation to discover the products. In 2010, Established & Sons’s latest and highly impactful concept will be quite the opposite.”

2010 also marks the year that Established & Sons launches Estd, a new collection of exceptional objects with practical use. This is an own-label collection by Established & Sons.

In the new “Diversity” series, Carbonell takes twenty iterations of the same form – a slender-legged chair attached to a narrow, covered desk – and creates distinct ?nishes for each with the result suggesting a demographically diverse neighborhood.   One is coated in “hair ?laments” that can be combed and groomed; another in shards of broken glass from used wine bottles; and, yet another in a granular concrete coating.  Arrayed in the vast and opulent 625 square meter exhibition space at the Palazzo Ferre, the works seem almost processional.

Designguide.tv was invited to follow the process of Nacho Carbonell’s new work: Diversity at his studio in Eindhoven. This is the single largest body of new work ever shown by Carbonell and will debut a broad array of recently created ?nishes made from gravel, thorns, resins, broken glass, mono?laments, and others. The Diversity” series is being shown at the Palazzo Ferre, a space otherwise used exclusively for Gianfranco Ferre’s fashion shows, in conjunction with the Salone di Mobile, and will be on view from April 14 , 2010 throughout the month.
