Photo Diary about Milan Design Week 2014: Cassina, Marni and “Untold”

Scenes from the Milan Design Week photo diary of Danilo Scarpati.

In his continuing coverage of this year’s Milan Design Week, the photographer Danilo Scarpati captured some of the most compelling collaborations of the fair. He visited the Cassina showroom for a closer look at the new Maralunga sofa, created in collaboration with 20 students from the Swiss art and design school ECAL. The design celebrates the 40th birthday of the brand’s best-selling model, which was the first upholstered sofa to incorporate movement. Scarpati then moved onto Marni’s “Animal House,” an installation of its limited-edition line of metal animal sculptures — giraffes, ostriches, rabbits, ducks, donkeys and flamingos — wrapped in brightly colored PVC. The army of colorful creatures were accompanied by the Marniesque furniture that rounds out the collection, which was handmade by a group of Colombian women and benefits Associazione Sogni Onlus, a foundation that aids terminally ill children. A short drive downtown brought Scarpati to his final destination: “Untold,” the group exhibition curated by the Italian design maven Rossana Orlandi in collaboration with Vionnet and Audemars Piguet at the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum.
