One of the world’s capital of fashion and design, Milan is a city full of events and one of the important one for who loves or works with architecture and design is the Salone del Mobile and the Milano Design Week in Milan (also known as Fuorisalone), that will be taking place this April, between 09/04 and 14/04.
For the 2019 Milano Design Week, the 5VIE, an integrated design district here in Milan is preparing a lot of interesting exhibitions and events. I’ve been present on the press conference a couple of days ago and here are the main attractions of the 5VIE for this Milan Design Week.

• 5VIE for the Milano Design Week 2019:
The 2019 edition of 5VIE is bringing art+design and it embraces experimentation more openly than ever to cultivate an even more international presence. This year’s goal is to consolidate their reputation as a cultural reference point, bringing together plurality of thought and international heterogeneity.
Cristina Tajani, Councillor for Labor, Manufacturing, Fashion and Design Policy, explains that “the presentations and installations proposed by 5VIE help implement the Administration’s mission to spread the vitality and creativity of Design Week to every part of the city. We believe that the Fuorisalone represents not only a great opportunity for operators in the design sphere to get together and compare notes, but for the city to offer the possibility of approaching beauty and craftsmanship through the new creative languages of design, which are often contiguous with the long artisanal traditions specific to the various quarters of Milan. An opportunity to explore the world of design, which draws strength from the collaborative efforts of the Municipality of Milan and the operators in the various districts, united by the desire to promote the city under the banner of creativity and innovation.”.
Every year, 5VIE dedicates the Milano Design Week to a great master and for 2019 their guest of honor will be Ugo La Pietra, an artist who established his reputation back in the late ‘50s and whose production has since explored an incredible variety of creative techniques. His exhibition is entitled Design Territoriale, Genius Loci
• List of Events and Exhibitions of the 5VIE Milano Design Week 2019:
Here’s a list of exhibitions, attractions and events that will take part on the 5VIE district during the Milano Design Week 2019 edition. The list is divided according to where it will be taking place:
- SANT’AMBROGIO e dintorni
– CARLO MASSOUD – THE FISH AND THE CROWD (curated by Maria Cristina Didero
)
Address: Oratorio della Passione, Piazza Sant’Ambrogio
The Fish and the Crowd is the first solo exhibition by the young Lebanese designer in Italy, and brings together a number of objects created since the designer started his studio in Beirut in 2013 until today, combined with a new production realized for the occasion.
Carlo Massoud is interested in translating the world surrounding him into every day and lively objects. For the 2019 edition of the Milan Design Week 2019, Carlo Massoud has reimagined the space of the Oratorio della Passione through a new collaboration with his sister Mary-Lynn with whom he has created a collaborative brand new project. In the space of this jewel church a number of objects play the role of an imaginary crowd, seated on benches. For The Fish and the Crowd Carlo and Mary-Lynn Massoud quote the classical icons of Christianity and its liturgies (the religion they also belong to) to involve the viewers in an intense and ironical reflection suspended between the physicality of the objects and the spiritual tension of the context.
– ANTON ALVAREZ – L’ULTIMA CERA (curated by Nicolas Bellavance- Lecompte)
Address: Chiesa di San Bernardino alle Monache, via Lanzone 13
The work of artist and designer Anton Alvarez is futuristic and primitive at the same time. With the exhibition L’Ultima Cera, Anton explores an ancient material in a new and innovative way: bronze. Commissioned by curator Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte and produced by 5VIE in collaboration with the Fonderia Artistica Battaglia in Milan as part of their new program of commissions and residencies, Alvarez adapts his machine, called ‘Extruder’, to work with wax. The extruder is a large metal cylinder hung from the ceiling by chains, using an electric motor to exert more than 2,000 kilos of pressure on the wax, pushing it through different moulds and cut-outs into a pool of cold water, where the artist uses his hands to give the wax its final form. When the wax is set, all the pieces are cast in bronze, each one-of-a- kind. Alvarez produces twelve pieces, this being the first time that an artist has approached bronze with such a technique.
– FORO STUDIO – RUG-O-RAMA
Address: International English Centre, Via Medici, 15
FORO Studio + Alessandro Iovine present Rug-o-rama, a series of carpets in different materials intended as an homage to the city of Milan. With the ardor of a lover, the designers seek to capture the many identities of the metropolis, making its beauty their own, filtering it through the attentive eye of those whose work is dedicated to bringing the tangible closer to the intangible. The challenge is to transmit the power of a place to a furnishing element – a carpet in this case – where the physicality of the materials encounters the ephemeral nature of emotion and memory. The final product is therefore rooted in the territory, but at the same time free to tell multiple stories in multiple places. The concept involves the use of recycled materials from local industries and artisans in the furniture sector, with the aim of giving them new life, transforming them into unique objects. The carpets are hand-woven on a reticular support that ensures structural integrity. The exhibition will guide the viewer along a visionary and varied path in search of the right perspective from which to admire the many facets of Milan.
– DAVIDE GROPPI – SPAZIO ESPERIENZE
Address: Via Medici, 13
Light to see and feel people and space.
Light like a vision, but also like a feeling.
Light expressing mystery, deep reflection and seduction.
– LIZARD – ANA POPESCU
Address: Via Circo, 1
Lizard for Design Week 2019 presents a small selection of Ana Popescu’s acrylic paintings. Born in Romania, grew up in France and now lives in Vienna. Her work is a constant experiment trying to combine formal elements such as shape and color. She is mainly inspired by architecture – Bauhaus and socialist modernism. Each one of her projects tries to render simple scenes in something more complex.
– FATTOBENE/ ITALIAN EVERYDAY ARCHETYPES
In the charming setting of the Oratorio della Passione, a new Info Point this year, 5VIE will dedicate a space to the bookshop of Fattobene / Italian Everyday Archetypes, a platform for the research and valorization of Italian objects that have been around forever. Like the MoMA in New York, which has recently reserved a corner for Fattobene in its bookshop, this space will represent for 5VIE -“design museum network”- a space dedicated to the Italian spirit, where visitors can learn about anonymous Italian design objects that have written, and continue to write, the history of our culture.
• SANTA MARTA e dintorni
– ROBERTO SIRONI – HUMAN CODE – curated by Annalisa Rosso
Address: SIAM – Società d’Incoraggiamento d’Arti e Mestieri, Via Santa Marta 18
Roberto Sironi’s solo show HUMAN CODE, presented in the underground spaces of SIAM during Milano Design Week 2019, is the culmination of a reflection that has characterized the enquiry of the Milanese designer from the outset. An autobiographical project that brings together anthropology, technology, data analysis, and experimentation with processes and materials, as well as memories of illuminating encounters and journeys of exploration. Set in a parallel dimension with respect to the city streets, the exhibition traces the most important stages of human evolution. A series of pieces, exhibited here for the first time, fuse fragments of the past and present into a single human code, in a dense sedimentation that spans 300,000 years. Sironi’s work seems to suggest that the Anthropocene – the current geological age connoted by the impact of humankind on the planet, whose symbolic date is 16 July 1945 – actually begins with the earliest appearance of human beings, who have always had an antithetical relationship with nature. In the cellars of the SIAM building adjacent to the Roman ruins on which the city of Milan is built, the designer projects his gaze thousands of years forward. Through this space-time passage, familiar objects of the present become mysterious and powerful archaeological artifacts, re-emerging in a distant future where the artificial and natural components are stratified together in an indissoluble way. A powerful suggestion that leads the viewer to question the condition of human existence. This exhibition is made possible by the collaboration of Abet Laminati, main sponsor of the event, and by the technical partnerships with Fonderia Artistica
Battaglia, Neonlauro, Serpentino & Graniti, Indexlab, and Serra 1938. With the support of SIAM – Società d’Incoraggiamento d’Arti e Mestieri.

– NICOLETTA GATTI – SEDUTE ESAURITE
Objects steeped in the past, and worn by time, retelling their stories in new clothes. Memories that return, renewed, through family heirlooms given new life. This is the philosophy of Milanese designer Nicoletta Gatti’s new collection “Sedute Esaurite.” Re-covering old family chairs with precious and rare Rubelli fabrics which have been out of stock for years, Nicoletta has created a delicate balance between yesterday and today, between memory and modernity. The fabrics used in the collection include original designs by Giò Ponti and Donghia. Striped velvet, damasks, textured dots, jacquard, wool and silk velvet, chosen with sensibility and a discerning eye, are juxtaposed to create chairs that are one-of-a-kind, never to be repeated. Like our memories.

• CESARE CORRENTI – CORSO GENOVA
– UGO LA PIETRA – DESIGN TERRITORIALE GENIUS LOCI
Address: Via Cesare Correnti courtyard, 14
Ugo La Pietra presents the solo exhibition Design Territoriale, Genius Loci, which explores the master’s interest in submerged material culture – i.e. the type of artistic craftsmanship capable of supporting and representing the work of art, capable of becoming a research laboratory for design, while at the same time providing tools to connote architecture. The result of this activity has led to a heightened awareness of the extraordinary heritage that still distinguishes our territory, giving rise to the growing trend of “territorial design”. That is to say, design that is born of the analysis of the “resources of the territory”, not only material resources, but those that serve as vehicles of traditional values, artisanal techniques that been consolidated over time and constitute our artistic and cultural heritage. The works on display are a symbolic sample of the collections of objects conceived by Ugo La Pietra and other artists and designers, but built by craftsmen who, in doing so, continue to uphold their traditions in a new expression of their culture and territory.
Among the many historic areas of specialized production that remain vital today: the mosaics of Spilimbergo, Monreale and Ravenna, the stone of Lecce and Lavagna, the alabaster of Volterra, the marble of Carrara and Verona, the glass of Murano, Altare and Colle Val d’Elsa, the ceramics of Grottaglie, Caltagirone, Vietri sul Mare, Albissola, and Faenza, and the bronze casting of Verona.
– KIKI VAN EIJK & JOOST VAN BLEISWIJK – CONNECT (with the participation of Niels Hoebers, Sander Wassink, Michela Castagnaro)
Address: Via Cesare Correnti 14
The lack of empathy is a growing problem of our time. Connect, a site-specific installation by Kiki van Eijk and Joost van Bleiswijk, explores the theme of connection – between nature and people, between subconscious creativity and physical expression, between the crossover of different disciplines and the use of materials. For Kiki and Joost, it all starts with drawing, an instinctive process that is followed by a long prototyping phase of rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty, experimenting and building with different materials and colors. Their method revolves around a constant and intimate collaboration, where the reciprocal influence is as stimulating as it is respectful. This shared approach reinforces their separate identities without compromising them. As often happens with creative couples, the final product is a private story that becomes a public homage.

Ugo La Pietra presents the solo exhibition Design Territoriale, Genius Loci, which explores the master’s interest in submerged material culture – i.e. the type of artistic craftsmanship capable of supporting and representing the work of art, capable of becoming a research laboratory for design, while at the same time providing tools to connote architecture. The result of this activity has led to a heightened awareness of the extraordinary heritage that still distinguishes our territory, giving rise to the growing trend of “territorial design”. That is to say, design that is born of the analysis of the “resources of the territory”, not only material resources, but those that serve as vehicles of traditional values, artisanal techniques that been consolidated over time and constitute our artistic and cultural heritage. The works on display are a symbolic sample of the collections of objects conceived by Ugo La Pietra and other artists and designers, but built by craftsmen who, in doing so, continue to uphold their traditions in a new expression of their culture and territory.
Among the many historic areas of specialized production that remain vital today: the mosaics of Spilimbergo, Monreale and Ravenna, the stone of Lecce and Lavagna, the alabaster of Volterra, the marble of Carrara and Verona, the glass of Murano, Altare and Colle Val d’Elsa, the ceramics of Grottaglie, Caltagirone, Vietri sul Mare, Albissola, and Faenza, and the bronze casting of Verona.
– KIKI VAN EIJK & JOOST VAN BLEISWIJK – CONNECT (with the participation of Niels Hoebers, Sander Wassink, Michela Castagnaro)
Address: Via Cesare Correnti 14
The lack of empathy is a growing problem of our time. Connect, a site-specific installation by Kiki van Eijk and Joost van Bleiswijk, explores the theme of connection – between nature and people, between subconscious creativity and physical expression, between the crossover of different disciplines and the use of materials. For Kiki and Joost, it all starts with drawing, an instinctive process that is followed by a long prototyping phase of rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty, experimenting and building with different materials and colors. Their method revolves around a constant and intimate collaboration, where the reciprocal influence is as stimulating as it is respectful. This shared approach reinforces their separate identities without compromising them. As often happens with creative couples, the final product is a private story that becomes a public homage.
Kiki van Eijk presents Free Form, a series of ceramic LED lamps modeled on the repetition of natural forms and their coexistence with humanity. With Space Poetry, Kiki examines the relationship between space and architecture, translating it into a series of unique pieces that subtly suggest their own physicality and function.
Joost van Bleiswijk presents Curved and Taped, sculptural forms that focus on the expressive gesture, distancing them from functionality, while hisInterlocking Panels are imaginary objects with interconnected minimalist forms. In Connect, their works are intertwined, pushing past the boundaries of architecture, art and design, and demonstrating that incredible things can happen when we allow ourselves the opportunity to share and collaborate.
“In my capacity as General Consul of the Netherlands, I appreciate the high standards of the international curatorial selection, and I consider the growing presence of Dutch designers in the 5VIE district to be a very positive development”, comments Johan Verboom. “Since 2016, the Embassy and Consulate have collaborated with the district, and this year we decided to support this project with the shared aim of promoting talent and design”.

– THE LITTA VARIATIONS / OPUS 5 – curated by MoscaPartners
Address: Palazzo Litta, Corsa Magenta, 24
On the occasion of the Milan Design Week 2019 – from 9 to 14 April – Palazzo Litta will host The Litta Variations / Opus 5, curated by MoscaPartners. The project will include twenty-two exhibitors with over sixty-five designers of the international scene: a total of eleven countries from all over the world will animate the spaces of Cortile d’Onore, Piano Nobile, Cortile dell’Orologio, Teatro Litta, and the Foyer. The protagonist of Cortile d’Onore will be Echo of the Pezo von Ellrichshausen studio, founded in Chile in 2002 by Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen. The pavilion puts man in the centre, as the subject and source of contemplation: the exterior, covered with a mirrored surface, reflects the baroque colonnade and the two upper orders that make up the courtyard of the building; in contrast, the interior reveals the sky, a natural element isolated from the city. The architecture is thus perceived as a shared and reflective experience and the relationship between art and architecture is revealed through an extremely recognizable visual echo. Important partners who chose to support Echo: first of all Piero Gandini (Chairman of The Design Holding and CEO of Flos) who personally believed in the project; the technical partners of Flos for the lighting of the external areas and the installation; B&B Italia, which created custom products for the Cortile d’Onore; De Castelli, internationally recognized for its expertise on metal, which made the installation; Salvatori, a design company specialized in the transformation of natural stone into furniture environments and accessories; finally, Musement for the booking and registration services for the entire event.
