Milan Design week is over and what’s left are thousands of photos taken at the different exhibitions. I visited around 60 locations, with some exhibitions having more than 50 designers at that one place. My head and heart are filled with gratitude for being able to travel to Milan once again and soaking up all the inspiration. The city, talking Italian all day long, the food, my collaboration with Nardi meeting like minded people, hanging out with friends and my small group of close friends I traveled with once more, it was all worth it!
After walking a good 16K steps everyday most of the evenings we just enjoyed having a meal together nearby our apartment for the week. A few parties we never skip though, the beautiful Henry Timy and the launch of Openhouse magazine are always on our list. And beside the small drinks all over the city, I also really wanted to make time for my ‘blogpartner’ J.Adams & Co and their Fourfold exhibition. Today I am kicking of my Milan 2025 reports with an impression of the Openhouse issue #23 launch event and the work of the different designers at the Cadogan Gallery.
The Secret in Their Eyes
Openhouse invited us to the magazine launch of issue Nr23 with the beautiful title ‘The Secret in Their Eyes’ at Cadogan Gallery in Milan. An amazing gallery that I will certainly visit again when in Milan. The installation lead us through the gallery with a selection of objects by Mango Home, main partner of the evening, alongside the featured designers within the current exhibition of Cadogan by Sam Lock.
I totally fell in love with the table by Cédric Etienne. I really have a thing with cork, maybe because it feels really familiar as the artisans in ‘our Sardinian village’ work a lot with cork. It is such an amazing material and Cedric really uses so many new ways of using this sustainable product.
Designers at the gallery: Jorge Suárez-Kilzi, Tom Fereday, Edoardo Avelino, Obstacles, Astep, Apohli, Cédric Etienne, Kawabi, Jorg Koziol, Stoff Nagel, Linie Design and Kristhel Jimenez.
