Salone Del Mobile 2011

Photos from my trip to Salone Del Mobile in Milan this Saturday. My first trip to Italy, and my first visit to the world famous design festival. I was actually in town to research the festival’s affect on the city and its commercial culture, so I didn’t get to visit the tradeshow itself, but I was still able to take in some great exhibits around the Duomo area. Baccarat, Armani Casa, the Res Sapiens Project, Daniela Gerini, and Droog were the biggest highlights.

Side Note: Italians fucking love their dogs. No matter how high-end a store, exhibit, gallery or restaurant, there is probably a dog there. This beast almost knocked me down at Daad Dantone

I was really impressed by the number of Onitsuka Tigers walking the streets of Milan.
