Through her curated, abstract lens, Toogood envisaged the Squash collection, which she said is like “English folk with Italian horsepower and embodies her soft, sculptural approach.” The collection also includes a rug and a mirror. That might have been the thinking behind the collaboration between the German luxury luggage maker and La Marzocco, a Florence-based leader in handmade espresso machinery. From his large collection of yarns, nearly all scavenged from yarn remainder shops selling the fashion industry’s leftovers, Carroll forges compositions of varied textures, materials and colors in fabrics like wool, linen, silk and more. Each work is done by hand on a flatbed domestic knitting machine from the 1970s at his studio in Los Angeles. About half the works, available for purchase at the JW Anderson store, bear a single word evoking a concept like music, abnegation, pity, voices, or permanence. Others quote works of literature, some refer to already existing works of art, and some feature Carroll’s own phrases.
Fast – A New Creative Vision
Named Re/Creation, the installation celebrates the unique properties of glass, the primary material used in its creation. Lasvit demonstrates how hot melted glass, allowed to relax and spread, can take on the shape or form of its surface or object. Alongside ‘Re/Creation’ stands another monumental piece titled ‘Porta,’ designed by Lasvit’s Art Director Maxim Velcovsky. This installation aims to highlight the relationship between glass and architecture, showcasing Lasvit’s expertise in artisanal glass facades. Crafted in Europe’s largest glass kiln, ‘Porta’ exemplifies how the brand adapts to the size and variability of glass while meeting the demands of architectural projects. For Milan Design Week 2024, Bottega Veneta honored Le Corbusier and his LC14 Tabouret Cabanon table design, originally conceived by the Swiss-French architect and designer for his personal cabin, or ‘cabanon,’ located in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin on the French Riviera.

DesignSingapore Council – Future Impact 2
In a collective exhibition bringing together emerging designers, studios, universities, brands, and galleries from across the country, the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia and Presence Switzerland showcased a wealth of Swiss-related talents from the world of contemporary design. Split across three floors, with indoor and outdoor installations, the House draws from the country’s design heritage while addressing themes through a current lens and a future-focused vision during this year’s design week. Addressing this year’s project with an intrinsic curiosity, creatives were invited to explore their emotional connection to the design process. In contemplating the sentiments and feelings experienced on a collective and individual scale, immersive installations within the house and its surroundings invited us to reflect upon the contentment found through our connection to design topics like circularity, wellness, and nature.
Previously presented at Centre Pompidou in Paris, the showcase celebrates Bouroullec’s unique creative vision, now unfolding across Casa Mutina Milano and the adjacent Spazio Cernaia, a temporary venue crafted specifically for this event. New tiles collections – indoor and outdoor – come to life in the two locations, along with new Editions, limited-edition ceramic objects set to enter the Mutina catalog from April 2024.

A unique collaboration emerges between Gufram (find more here) and Motion Italia (find more here), a leading Italian company specializing in motion mechanisms for sofas.
Made in limited numbers, the smart toilet is rendered in bright orange, and boasts an asymmetric shape that recalls edgy brutalist architecture. The shell surrounding its porcelain bowl is constructed with composite resin, with unexpected cut-outs and textured evoking natural rock for an inspired fusion of functional, and playful and with an eye on the environment. Meanwhile, at Lampo Milano, furniture maker VANK explored the synergy between nature and creativity as a way of rethinking a more sustainable creative approach to design. Installation drew parallels between the energy in bio-design and solar energy and plant growth through photosynthesis.

On display from April 9th to May 1st, 2024, La Nascita marks JR’s inaugural venture into sculptural anamorphosis, departing from his traditional medium of paper and glue. In a conversation with designboom , JR discusses how the concept of anamorphosis, with its potential for distorted images and optical illusions, has long intrigued him and influenced his artistic practice. In complete contrast, Samuel Ross’s Terminal 02 captured the imagination for its ginormous scale as well as turning the surrealist lens on the humble toilet. Working with bathroom brand Kohler, the cutting-edge London artist and designer constructed a maze-like brutalist installation at Palazzo del Senato featuring a giant orange lavatory and twisting industrial pipes to mark the launch of his first product, Formation 02. Milan saw some wonderfully whimsical designs too, for a moment’s smile among the otherwise more serious discussions on machine intelligence and climate emergency.

Gufram, the Italian furniture maker full of playful icons, has teamed with Motionitalia, a leader in the design of relaxation mechanisms for armchairs and sofas. The firms will unveil a one-off moving version of the Bocca sofa called “Gufram in Motion — La Bocca è Mobile (the mouth is mobile).” The surreal display will be set within a majestic hall of the Sala degli Specchi at Palazzo Litta situated in the 5VIE design district. The Bocca sofa was created in 1971 by Studio65 and will see its lips smooch, perhaps, for the very first time.

A schedule of talks, readings and live music performances will aim to evoke the spirit of literary salons and artist collectives of yore at the city’s Circolo Filologico Milanese location on Wednesday and Thursday. Bottega Veneta is partnering with Cassina and Fondation Le Corbusier for “On the Rocks,” a large-scale installation staged at Palazzo San Fedele and centered on the bespoke LC14 Tabouret Cabanon stools, which punctuated the venue of the brand’s fall 2024 runway show in February. Originally conceived for Le Corbusier’s cabin in Roquebrune Cap Martin on the French Riviera, the design draws inspiration from a wooden box of whisky the acclaimed architect found on the beach. Archipanic is also proud to media partner with Tortona Rocks, the cutting-edge design destination in the post-industrial cradle of Milan Design Week.
Salone del Mobile.Milano presented an installation by American filmmaker David Lynch, in the form of two meditation rooms.

These were impressive feats of craftmanship of which the brand’s founder—the late, great Issey-san—would certainly be proud. During Milan Design Week, the Nicola Trussardi Foundation (find more here) presents ITALIA 70 – I NUOVI MOSTRI, curated by Massimiliano Gioni. In 2004, the Foundation’s Life is Beautiful project spread across the streets of Milan—from the city center to the suburbs. Thousands of posters created by sixteen young Italian artists depicted an anthology of visions of Italy and its multifaceted identity and irreverently took over public spaces. Twenty years after this early venture into bringing contemporary art to unexpected places around the city, Fondazione Nicola Trussardi is returning to that same format. The seventy artists have each been invited by the Foundation to create a new work or choose a particular image of theirs to be multiplied on hundreds of posters.
The result is GUFRAM IN MOTION – La Bocca è Mobile, where the Bocca® sofa, a radical icon created by Studio65 in 1971 for Gufram, comes to life with movement. Design duo Formafantasma (find more here) presents La Casa Dentro (The Home Within), their solo exhibition curated by Alberto Salvadori at Fondazione ICA Milano (find more here).
