Hasta La Ideas

In a bid to reinvigorate their product design line, Italian fashion house Trussardi has tapped British designer Michael Young to collaborate with them on, well, something. They don’t specify what, though the fact they’re planning on unveiling the unnamed collection at the Milan Furniture Fair in April suggests furniture or maybe tableware. The video teaser is pretty vague and seems to have been recorded on a cell phone or low-quality cam, but at least you can hear Young’s voice, for those of us who have only seen him in photographs.

In decades past, most notably in the ’80s and ’90s, Trussardi Design put their stamp on everything from bicycles and scooters to telephones and airplane interiors. Whatever they produce this time will be produced in China, as Young indicates in the teaser; the designer is known for embracing Chinese manufacturing, having moved his studio five years ago to Hong Kong to be closer to the action.

We’ll have more info come April.
