Photography by Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf will surround the works. “Expect to arrive in Milano to experience two parallel universes collide,” Wanders told Dezeen. “In the midst of it you’ll encounter the works of Erwin Olaf, and also my new furniture for Moooi.”

“The 2013 Moooi presentation is a game changer,” said Moooi founder and CEO Casper Vissers. “You will find the creativity and soul of Moooi as a brand together with the individual, innovative and sparkling products from the designers we collaborate with. We will make your visit to Moooi unexpected and very welcome again!”

Here’s more information from Moooi:
On occasion of the 52nd edition of the Salone del Mobile, Moooi has prepared an entire collection of refreshing new designs and surprising experiences that will be revealed at an unexpected location: via Savona 56. From the 8th to the 14th of April Moooi is taking up residence in the imposing space of 1.700 m2 and transforming it into a stylish assembly of colourful living quarters, new product displays, lounges, an artistic exhibition, along with the FRAME Moooi award nominees exposition, panel discussion, exclusive ceremony and VIP cocktail evening.

Moooi’s biggest gift to the public is to reveal how a wide empty space can be magically transformed into several iconic, rich and colourfully dressed living quarters. This assortment of interior environments is decorated with an inspiring variety of patterns and colours to embrace any kind of space and make people of different ages, cultures and personalities fall in love with their homes. Of course Moooi will make sure to dress and accessorise all the interior sets with an irresistible blend of exquisite richness, nurturing warmth and colourful playfulness.
The living quarters will be furnished with items from the current collection & many new, exciting creations by Marcel Wanders, Studio Job, Joost van Bleiswijk, Edward van Vliet, Neri & Hu, Nika Zupanc, Moooi Works/Bart Schilder, Bertjan Pot, Raimond Puts, Lorenza Bozzoli and ZMIK (Mattias Mohr & Rolf Indermuhle). You are welcome to enjoy, amongst others, the artistic temperament and intimate nature of Marcel Wanders’ Canvas, Zliq and Cloud sofas, the retro atmospheres of Nika Zupanc’s Golden Chair and the sophisticated brightness of ZMIK’s Kroon chandeliers. Take some time to walk around and study the high-stream inventiveness of Joost van Bleiswijk’s Construction lamps, the pragmatic playfulness of Studio Job’s Bucket & Tub lamps and the graceful symbolism of Lorenza Bozzoli’s Juuyo lamps.

The new designs can also be admired and observed in detail along an extensive ‘catwalk’ presentation, in which they ‘pose’ individually to share their pristine beauty with the public. This unexpected home vision brings to life a whole world of new ideas and inspiring settings to brighten up daily life with a touch of magic. It represents a place where visions converge and where every traveller can stop to admire the perfect eclectic mix of culture & experiences that make a home environment more beautiful and unique. Celebrating the successful cooperation and friendship between two highly creative souls, Marcel Wanders has asked renowned photographer Erwin Olaf to join the Moooi presentation with a grand selection of photographs from his personal work. Interior design meets artistic photography and they connect, creating the perfect balance between two inspiring, stylish and playful realities.
The photographs unfold their stories and feelings on a large scale, reaching a stunning height of 4,5 meters especially for this exhibition. Admiring them feels like stepping into a world of exceptional sophistication, permeated with the sharp intensity of human emotions and enveloped in a dreamy haze of subtle tension. Although cleverly concealed, their hidden stories instinctively appeal and connect to our deepest sense of being, revealing the strong frailty of the human spirit. Erwin Olaf has chosen to challenge the public with pieces for his series Grief, Fall, Keyhole and Berlin which respectively challenge everyday notions, dwell on sensations of shame & guilt, or show the transcendent relation between people in a different light.

Especially for this occasion the Moooi presentation will be inhabited and characterized by a number of colourful mannequins by Hans Boodt. Combining 25 years of experience in visual merchandizing, creativity and know-how, the world-famous, high-quality mannequins of Hans Boodt never fail to make a great impression with their strong charisma. They will make themselves at home at Moooi’s presentation, bringing an extra feeling of intimacy to the living quarters and resembling peoples’ personality, style & taste. Real and surreal at the same time!
This year the exclusive Frame Moooi Award ceremony, VIP cocktail evening and panel discussion will also take place in via Savona 56. On the 10th of April a selected crowd of design professionals is invited to attend a unique cocktail evening dedicated to the celebration of creativity and design. Jana Scholze (Curator of Contemporary Furniture at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum) will crown the winner, who will receive a tempting award of €25,000. Detailed information on the 10 shortlisted designs will be available throughout the entire week of the Salone on artistic, informative panels at via Savona 56.

Milan 2013: this office chair by Copenhagen design firm KiBiSi is mounted on a Y-shaped stem, allowing the seat of the chair to rock back and forth as well as rotating left and right.
The Scoop Chair has a gyroscope-like suspension system intended to create the feeling of moving freely in the air.
The chairs have upholstered cast-foam seats in a range of different fabrics and will be available in a colour scheme inspired by ice cream shades. Frames will be polished aluminium or powder-coated in black and white.
“We wanted to stay clear of a home decorative cutesy product and contract business polish. We needed to establish a new middle ground that would bridge private and public spaces,” said KiBiSi partner and creative director Jens Martin Skibsted. See all our stories about projects by KiBiSi.
The chair forms part of a series of furniture KiBiSi has designed for Danish furniture brand Globe Zero 4 and will be presented at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan from 9 to 14 April.
KiBiSi is an industrial design firm founded by Lars Larsen, Bjarke Ingels Group and Jens Martin Skibsted.

Milan 2013: Slovenian designer Nika Zupanc will present folding lamps powered by little wind-up keys at Spazio Rossana Orlandi in Milan next week.
Zupanc designed the Runaway lamp as limited-edition torch to give modern travellers off-grid illumination in an emergency.
“This diminutive object breaks the rules of contemporary traveling, bringing back the romance of isolation,” says Zupanc. “In its basic function, a portable lamp now becomes an enchanting companion but also a real saviour in the event of an electricity shortage.”
Winding the brass key powers a dynamo hidden inside the simple, vacuum-formed plastic shade to light recessed LEDs.
A shallow indent in the shade and a telescopic stand allow the table lamp to fold into a flashlight or pendant. In its torch-state, the circular base becomes a metallic trim to the plastic shade. The glossy shade will be available in a choice of black or white.
The project will be on show at Spazio Rossana Orlandi, Via Matteo Bandello 14/16 from 9 to 14 April.
Last year Zupanc presented a set of bubble-like outdoor furniture and lamps called Summertime at the same venue. See all our stories about work by Nika Zupanc.
Other lamps launching in Milan next week include pendant lamps by Resident and some angular lamps that form part of Tom Dixon’s Rough and Smooth collection. See all our previews of design at Milan 2013.

News: the highly anticipated Apple television is set to launch later this year and will be operated with a digital “iRing” worn on the finger, according to an industry insider.
After meeting with Apple suppliers in China and Taiwan, analyst Brian White told AppleInsider magazine that he expects a product promising to “revolutionise the TV experience forever” to be officially launched later this year.
The ring-shaped accessory is thought to operate as a “navigation pointer”, taking on some of the functionality of a standard remote control and featuring integrated motion detection. White also thinks it will be accompanied by a small iPad-sized screen, which will combine security, telephone and video-conferencing functions.
The news follows earlier rumours that Apple is developing a smart-watch, dubbed the “iWatch”, which would work in conjunction with an iPhone.
Other wearable technologies have also been crowding the news recently, with the relaunch of the UP wristband and the mounting anticipation for the Google Glass headset. In last week’s column, Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs wrote how wearable technology is set to “transform our understanding of ourselves” and “make us better, healthier people”.
