Milan Design Week 2022 Best Installations masterly

Milan Design Week 2022 Best Installations Part 2

Milan Design Week 2022 (Fuorisalone) together with Salone del Mobile is one of the main events in the design world (well, at least for me as design freak). Milan Design Week has been postponed several times in 2020, then came back as a mini Salone in September 2021. I am beyond excited to finally come back to Milan after all those years in June 2022 and show you all the best installations and trends.

You can find Part 1 here. My first impressions were that Milan Design Week 2022 was not as huge as in 2019, and it is normal – participants and visitors could not guess if the event won’t be postponed again and again. Plus, the overall feeling in the city was less stressful as before 2019, and with less things to see. Nevertheless, some of the installations were quite impressive and I could see some major interior design trends for the future years to come. Also, this year I could connect with the designers and creators way deeper than during the last editions, which was amazing.

It was also a pure joy to meet with fellow design colleagues. I was beyond happy to be able to explore, feel and experience everything by myself (finally!). Oh, and feeling that Milanese vibe after 3 years was an absolute blast! Plus, I think it’s the first time Milan Design Week happens in June – weather was really hot so moving around the city was quite an interesting and different experience.

So here’s an overview of some of my favourite Milan Design 2022 installations part II in a diary style. You will find designers and brands like Giopato&Coombes, Somaschini, Solid Nature, Sabine Marcelis, Serena Confalonieri, Studiopepe, MOHD, Draga & Aurel, SE studio, Poltrona Frau, Salvatori, in the locations like Alcova, Rossana Orlandi gallery, Masterly – Dutch in Milano and many more.

Let’s discover it together! But first, I invite you to sign up and download free color cards from Milan:

Top photos: Draga & Aurel, multi-disciplinary design studio from Italy. The title of the collection has a double meaning. “Transparency matters”: for us, it is the most important attitude. It refers to the transparent materials used in the pieces — cast resin, glass and plexy — as well as our evolutions as designers. From Transparency, we think of transformation, transition, transgression, transnational: all words that describe us and our more than ten years of working together.”
