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.
