Milano

2003 at Via Valtellina.

At Via Valtellina we had a beautiful and intriguing venue. We worked with Consolo Produzione & Consulenze to produce a show spread over three different buildings and a big courtyard of the palazzo, the owners of the venue provided us with our own Buddhist monk to ensure that things went smoothly.
Visitors were greeted by an enormous glowing doglight from Back4.
Exhibitors included undergraduates from the RCA; The North West of England was represented by Liverpool and Manchester design initiative.
I.M.U. the collective of young Finnish Designers returned and they had uniforms, the Oculas continued to grow, Fremdkörper from Cologne showed their classic Euro Palette for the first time out of Germany. The sun gods smiled on us at the right times and we all got to go and see Inter V Roma at the San Siro.
We welcomed visitors in our boxing gloves just in case anybody forgot that there was a war on. Debbie Does enchanted guests with her electro dj shopping trolley from another planet,
Abitare dubbed it all Happy Design and told all their readers to come again.
