The Fuorisalone is not limited to conventional districts: it branches out through the different streets of the city, involving every area adjacent to the neighborhoods that traditionally host all the “revolution” of innovations that Milan Design Week (15-21 April 2024) brings with it. And more. It discovers new locations, highlights hidden or unknown places, or gives the opportunity to discover new streets and views, difficult to know for those who don’t live in the Lombard capital.
Design finds space in museums (especially the “par excellence” one: ADI Design Museum, here is the complete program – adidesignmuseum.org), private streets, abandoned factories brought to new life, organizes real “out of town” trips – with shuttle services from the metro lines – without forgetting, it goes without saying, the single-brand showrooms that open the doors of their institutional headquarters in Milan. An alternative journey to institutional routes, in the name of the style of tomorrow.
WHAT TO SEE
ADI DESIGN MUSEUM – exhibition
The museum is transformed into a stage for installations and events, all focused on contemporary style and, above all, its historical roots. A calendar full of exhibitions, from Japanese to Korean design, up to a focus on brands such as Edra, Caimi and Rubinetterie Treemme. Worth mentioning, among the various events, is China & Design: promoted by Zona Sarpi (where you can discover the latest news) with a selection of projects exhibited both at the ADI and at the Fabbrica del Vapore (around the corner).
