It’s the turn of Euroluce at I Saloni 2009. So as excitment builds and the focus in Milano shifts from kitchens and bathrooms to (some some beautifully restrained) lighting, here’s my shortform collection of the most eye-catching online previews so far…
A new emphasis on classic, vaguely retro forms seems a theme running through much of the lighting (especially pendants) debuting in Milan. Personal favourites include, from the top down, Naoto Fukasawa‘s ‘bucket’ and ‘dome’ for Panasonic Electric Works; ‘Top’ by first time product designers Swedish architectural duo Tham & Videgard Hansson Italian company Zero; and ‘Rem’ by Spanish design studio Yonoh for Almerich. Milan design week and Euroluce open on April 22.
