Hasta La Ideas

Now you no longer have to imagine the immensity of Milan Design week. In this video you will only view a fraction of the people wandering the streets, openly enjoying drinks, friends, and design. This video was shot from the Lago Appartamento patio, one story above Via Tortona. At the end of the night, any car left on the Tortona, was covered in Beer bottles, glasses, and trash! In Milan? Come by and see us at Lago’s Appartamento!

After arriving in Milan early morning, we gathered our thoughts, enjoined the pleasant atmosphere of the Lago Appartamento, and headed to the Established & Sons Press Preview. We were greeted with delight, fantastic designs, and left with a hand screenprinted bag full of goodies. After walking around the installation for a bit we were able to meet Sebastian Wrong, founding partner of E&S, designer Jason Bruges, as well as many other designers and friends. New and old designs integrated into one Tulip-wood surrounded structure, designed by Nex of London. Stay tuned for some videos!

We are delighted to announce that Core77 is collaborating with the amazing Italian furniture manufacturer Lago, taking part in their Appartamento project. Staff of Lago and Core77 are living together in the apartment for the duration of the design week, sharing the kitchen, shower and wardrobes. Some will leave to work on the fair in the morning and others will “stay at home” to welcome “off-show” visitors during the day. We have our offices on-site, creating and producing our Milan design week coverage live from the Appartamento.

The Core77 correspondents Andrea Paustenbaugh, Brit Leissler, Nate Silverstein, and Greg Buntain will produce the usual extensive coverage of all the hot happenings at the fair and surrounding events. In addition we will invite people to be interviewed in our space – creating some “post-futuristic dialogues” with the movers and shakers of the design world and report live daily from the Appartamento project.

Watch the Core77 blog, filling up live, while the project is taking shape. And if you’re in Milan, please stop by to visit us! The address is via Tortona 21 MILANO, from April 22 through 27.
