Finally all the bubble wrap is tacked away and the Milan Design Week is in full blossom. Even the sun is on its best behaviour, making this an awesome starting day of all the exhibitions. We have taken a good look around already yesterday. Here some first impressions. Clockwise from top: Goods NL's "Face Value Exibition", Darth Vader made from car parts on Via Tortona by Bacci & Abbracci, the most basic yet simple lamp you can think of (bulb, cable, plug) on "Goods NL", bike rental on Via Tortona, Sleeping Boxes for those without accommodation as part of the Public Design Festival by Esterni, the "Chair Overdose" by Bram Boo on the awesome Prophets & Penitents show by DAMn magazine and some wonderful toy cars made from prefab steel piping (also Goods NL). More in-depth coverage on above mentioned events will follow shortly!

If you are in Milan please come by and visit us at the Lago Appartamento in our production office on VIA TORTONA 21... just ring the bell at "Lago" and have some coffee with us!
