Spazio Rossana Orlandi is perenially among the must-see exhibitions during the Salone, and its namesake design patron is perhaps the definition of a doyenne. This year, her multi-chambered, multi-level space hosted an eclectic mix of students, small studios and well-established designers, several of whom happened to be exhibiting kitchenwares and other vessels.
Konstfack’s “Talking Table” was a showcase of experimental tablewares that explore the nuances, dynamics and social norms of dining. Students from the Industrial Design and Jewelry & Corpus programs (some of whom we’d met at ICFF last year) presented consistently thoughtful and well-crafted design objects, from the ‘ghost’ place setting (smartphone not included) to the napkin for two, a comment on Eastern vs. Western dining traditions.
