Milan Design Week 2020 is still ongoing.
Here we have part 2 of the products and initiatives that had been happened throughout the city in 2019. This time we’ll be focusing specifically on Kartell and Vitra’s special events for this occasion!
Probably the biggest highlight for Kartell this week has definitely got to be the event The Art Side of Kartell. This is an exhibition conceived by Ferruccio Laviani, the event’s co-curator alongside Rita Selvaggio. The event will be hosted in the Appartamento dei Principi in Milan’s Palazzo Reale open to the public from 10 April to 12 May 2019 to celebrate Kartell’s 70th birthday.
Throughout 11 different rooms, you will have a glimpse into the 50-year history of Kartell. You will be able to find a series of furniture pieces such as The Chair by Emilio Tadini from 1997, Terminal thinking vehicle , a female robot, designed in 1986 by Denis Santachiara, the Re Sole lamp, designed by Gae Aulenti in 1968, among many others.
One of the biggest highlights of this showcase is a tribute to Barbie/Mattel, seen as it’s the doll’s 60th anniversary as well. Visitors will be able to find elements such as the Bourgie lamp, the Charles Ghost stools, the Papyrus chair and the Misses Flower Power maxi vase; next to them, the two Barbie style chairs Louis Ghost and Lou Lou Ghost.
You can also find a couple of special furniture pieces by famous designers and other celebrities like the Bourgie rock lamps by Lenny Kravitz and Pharrell Williams.
In the case of Vitra for Milan Design Week the biggest highlight goes to the 24-hour shoppable installation they will be organizing on Via Durini (in Durini Design District) which will allow visitors to see and purchase Vitra accessories at all hours of the day and night.
