Milan Design Week 2008: Exansaldo
by sabine7 / May 8, 2008


The huge Exansaldo space in Zona Tortona is just across the street from Superstudio Più, so it was a natural progression to drift into more great design from established companies and the excellent That’s Design exhibit that featured student work from all over the world. Stockholm’s Konstfack was well-represented, showing a knitted radiator and a table that made us look again. A pebbly rug by Piet Boon Zone and the Booklamp for Autoban by De La Espada were two designs that definitely married form with function, while Meeting Erwin had a clean display of car-inspired designs. The Rhode Island School of Design focused on the concept of time, and New Zealand’s Hothouse placed an emphasis on open innovation. There were also some great entries in the LG HI-MACS Design Contest at That's Design.
