Design Week 2012 Tortona & Lambrate Area

Because of the bad weather forecast for the rest of the week, I decided to do the outdoor events today. It was  a beautiful day and very little crowds which made it so much nicer but perhaps not all of the exhibitors were ready. I was a bit disappointed because I saw a much more subdued, less elaborate show this year. But I will return to these areas to see if they've added on. The entrance to the Tortona venue was a beautiful display of marble. 







Canon light display


love this lamp

super duper thin LED lights , super duper cool

the foam is real and cascading down this gorgeous tub, silkiest foam i've ever felt



like clay 

this was one of the most interesting stands so far, loved the craftsmen working on site and the beautiful ceramic  tiles

like this black and gold studded mosaic

super duper kewl room divider made out of .....recycled cardboard

mountain house antler decor!









a soft pebble throw rug 



beautiful ornate pewter vases

love love love this lamp


this wall decor is too cool til you lose an eye with it


spongy seats










the designer of this "see-saw" table told me that she designed this table to stop people from getting up in the middle of the meal
on my dog's wish list 


this year's Ortofabbrica display, always gorgeous , these are rosemary plants





wooden bags




Lancia Ecochic, cute miniature scenes placed all over the city for Fuorisalone







those darn kids again










                                           camel-toe shoes   LOL










the Statale always does huge, elaborate displays. I wasn't as impressed this year as in the past, but looking at these photos, they did a good job again.  But there were more displays in the past.  We got there at the perfect time because you really MUST see it also at night since it has mostly light displays.
