Each year, the Salone del Mobile di Milano presents
its city and countless visitors with a weeklong exploration of the latest
in the world of design.
While the Salone Satellite represents the core of the decorating event,
the Fuori Salone program provides a supplementary platform for big name
designers to present their latest innovations imaginatively, in a more
"personalized" context.
Visitors shouldn't be surprised, for example, to find themselves, sandwich
in hand, at the presentation of a new Mandarina Duck handbag popped
into the oven by a jolly bakery girl.
And the colorful fish swimming among the lavatories and bathtubs by
Giovannoni? Nothing more than a most splendid run-of-the-mill display
At the Cappellini stand, there's cause for pause -- though pleasant
as anything, in this context there's nothing at all remarkable of sitting
on a large sofa sipping spumante admiring male and female models underwater
while sampling mozzarelline and tomato!
