MILANO SALONE 2008
One of the world biggest international furniture fairs, The 47th Milano Salone Internazionale del Mobile was held from 16th to 21st April in Milan, Italy.
This article is a digest of the report by Daisuke Ark Kozuki, editor of moonlinx Kozuki designed the collection of artwork 10CARDS distributed in the Salone. (Package design by Shun Kawakami – artless) The whole report can be found in moonlinx.
15th April – At the LEXUS party. Response and motion, black and white… how to fuse antinomy in high dimension is the theme of this exhibition. Heartbeat like simple BGM was soothing.
The artwork made in collaboration between LEXUS and Nendo.
16th April – Milano Salone opened. I stopped at Italian interior shop Dovetusai.
The vases made of Gore-Tex. The water proof material can make such things possible.
Then, I moved to Trienale design museum.

After Cassina, I headed to Swarovski party.
