TRIENNALE DI MILANO: DAY ONE

First stop for the Indesign team in Milan this year was the Triennale di Milano.

Our top picks from the Triennale were:

The Bisazza installation: a tiled cathedral on loan from Paris, a knight in shining (tiled) armour made especially for this year’s Milan and gold artworks by Medini for Bisazza from the Bisazza Foundation.

The InterfaceFLOR installation: a beautiful white maze with a mirrored ceiling reflecting InterfaceFLOR carpet tiles.

Maruni: the new collaborative collection for Maruni by Jasper Morrison and Naoto Fukasawa is beautifully realised.

The Kristalia range: we love the ‘Elephant’ chair!
