Milan Design Week is just days away, and after bringing you a guide to the design districts, we here at Design Limited Edition are not stopping!

The ‘Salone del Mobile’ and ‘Fuorisalone’ define Milan Design Week, premiering the latest trends for the forthcoming year and heralding a tidal wave of events, exhibitions, and presentations.  Although the events are usually scattered throughout the city, the Fuorisalone recognizes a series of main districts, where the best and most spectacular design events take place, such as the Porta Venezia Design District.

Voliumani by Barbara Vistarini

Dozens and dozens of small hands, like butterfly wings, will rest placid on the entrance walls of the building, waiting to take off. The shapes, cut out two-dimensional on black cardboard acquire a symbolic value. Even the imperfections become narrative elements that speak of a “handmade” way that is not taken for granted.

Address: Palazzo Bocconi, C.so Venezia 48
