TOP FIVES
This is our top picks from Milan 2019
Saying that we’ve seen a lot from Milan is an understatement. There’s no word enough to describe the magnitude of the event. The scale and enormity rendered impossible to see it all and made it quite difficult for us to pick just five for our top picks. There were always so many wonderful, quirky and fun installation or exhibition to take in that we had to wrestle through thousands of photographs (see our Instagram highlights as proof). Nevertheless, it was enjoyable to look back and reminisce the wonders and excitement you get to feel while being part of it. Now, without further ado, below are our top five highlights from Milan Design Week.
#1 – Kartell
