Just wrapped up an invigorating three-day exploration at #SaloneDelMobile2024 in Milan. From scouting unique furniture pieces, with combinations in mind to marry between a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor, solidity and transparency, textured and minimalist designs, that are hosted in spaces we design @pad10
The venue itself put a smile on my face with it ageing gracefully thanks to architects Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas @fuksas_architects , an architect I interned at in the 90’s; yep, long time!
Another good coincidence and highlight was catching up with Jeanne Gang’s, @jeanne_gang, insightful talk on grafting in architecture, advocating for sustainable urban growth and the harmonious integration of the new with the old—no more tabula rasa, but a celebration of continuity. The “final assignment” resonated with how more than a decade back, we @pad10 managed to watchdog and ended up retooling @pearlmarzook, while more than 50% of the area around was undergoing demolition, making way for faceless constructions!
Although going to expos is never my cup of tea, still it’s always worth keeping an eye on what’s out there, as most will make its way into my architecture, add to them the collectable ones! #DesignThinking #SustainableArchitecture #Innovation #architecture #interior
