Spazio Rossana Orlandi – rossanaorlandi.com
A former tie factory with a divine courtyard becomes a journey of delight. Each room in the building is another door to discover international design, with a particularly craft-based approach. Companies like Piet Hein Eek, Cattelani & Smith, &tradition and a bevy of smaller names provide the goods. We even saw the inimitable Rossana herself, but she was too quick for us to catch!

Picking a nose has never been more functional.
