Archiproducts Milano 2019: The New Design Experience

Bticino’s Living Now Apartment by Marcante Testa, Truly Design’s installation for Volkswagen, and over 50 partner brands in 15 rooms where the keyword is ‘eclectic’

The Design Experience is now in its fourth edition, and has become a fundamental rendezvous for anyone in Milan during Design Week. Over 50,000 professionals from the world over flock to the Via Tortona location during the Fuorisalone – the allure? The plethora of installations, immersive experiences and exhibition itineraries breaching the borders where design and its collateral worlds meet, blend and overlap.The Archiproducts Milano space prepares to play host by donning a new layout with a design set that counts over 50 partner brands.

Amid returning partnerships and new collaborations, the indoor and outdoor spaces of Archiproducts Milano turn into a visionary project that speaks its truth through eclecticism. The 15 rooms of via Tortona 31 thus become individual worlds where daring stylistic and sensorial explorations reflect personalities, moods and tendencies. Within the co-networking hub, Architects, journalists, companies and designers are guided through an interactive itinerary in a location that is digital at heart, and that transforms itself every year, from floors to ceilings, and from terrace to façade. Hundreds of feather-light aluminum chains will dress the building’s façade, jamming to the graphic beat of the artwork by Turin-based studio Truly Design in collaboration with Kriskadecor.

Desalto and SP01 are confirmed this year as Archiproducts Milano partners, contributing to the location’s decoration alongside DooqFreifrauJANUAL’OttocentoNovamobiliObjets ArchitecturauxWagnerThe workplace takes on new forms in room 11: BuzziSpace designs a flexible and functional set-up, with innovative solutions for sound absorption and furniture accessories that redefine traditional working practices.

The partnership with Japanese brands soil and +d continues, with their designs to grab on the go in the ground-floor pop-up shop. The outdoor space is entrusted to Extremis and Garda Furniture, the Serbian brand that this year contributes to the Archiproducts Salone del Mobile stand installation (Corso Italia, HALL ITL S40), together with Framery.

The staircase takes visitors through an evocative journey channeled through Coordonné, whose captivating wall paper tonalities make the Spanish brand’s products instantly recognizable. Ceramica Vogue, Florim Ceramiche and CEDIT – Ceramiche D’Italia add their own personal touch to the space’s interiors. The décor elements include products by 101 CopenhagenMutaforma and Hobby Flower. The floors showcase the delicate patterns of Toulemonde Bochart rugs, while ONE Mario Sirtori fabrics return to enrich the building’s rooms through their chromatic juxtapositions and strong hues. The entire set is lit up by the luminary creations of FlosVibiaAstro LightingANDlightVeroneseZero and Vetreria Vistosi.

The Architecture of Illusion: Volkswagen and Truly Design at Archiproducts Milano
Among the protagonists of the 2019 edition, members of Truly Design are ready to draw visitors of Via Tortona 31 into a playful and mind-bending anamorphic installation designed for Volkswagen, the main sponsors of Archiproducts Milano for the second year running.  Still buzzing from the success of the Zona Tortona Design Tour, the partnership between Archiproducts and the German car manufacturer continues. The project aims to manifest and highlight the unbridled points of intersection between the worlds of interior and automotive design.

Marcante Testa for Living Now Apartment by BTicino
Moving up to the venue’s first floor, visitors are welcomed into the BTicino home: Living Now Apartment, designed by the Marcante Testa studio. The interior arrangement here dialogues fluidly with technology, in a perfect symbiosis between innovation and design.

Living Now Apartment offers a living experience with all the comforts intrinsic to the domotics of a smart home, in a sophisticated and progressive interior design project. The understated discretion of BTicino technology allows for the domotics system to be perceived through the Living Now devices. This smooth technology is capable of blending in and inserting itself seamlessly into the lifestyle dynamics of a domestic habitat.

The concept behind Living Now is interpreted through Marcante Testa’s design vision: two rooms that symbolize two distinct home environments in terms of language and color accents. The project features environments that are functionally connected and integrated through a basic need for serene and accessible living.

ADA 2018. The Prizegiving Event at Archiproducts Milano

A whole day dedicated to design and creativity. On Tuesday, Nov. 20th, the 100 winners of this year’s edition of the Archiproducts Design Awards received their prizes on occasion of the annual “open day” held by Archiproducts Milano in Via Tortona 31.

Numerous designers and brands participated in the event, and celebrated the winners together with the Archiproducts team. Among the guests: Francesca Lanzavecchia from studio Lanzavecchia + Wai with Living Divani; Marc Sadler for Metalmobil; Andrea Steidl, Art Director of Former e Busnelli; Gordon Guillaumier with Desalto; the designers of Studio Lazzaroni with Poltrona Frau: Andrea Parisio and Giuseppe Pezzano for Ceramica Cielo; Studio Lissoni with Gabriele Salvatori; Salvatore Indriolo for Fantin; Elisa Ossino with Sanwa; Marco Zavagno from Studio Zaven with Cedit; Chiara Di Pinto from Studiopepe with Ceramica Bardelli and Wall&Decò; Robin Rizzini from Studio Metrica for Estel Group; the Polish designer Marta Szymkowiak for Blu Bleu; the Belgian Koen Van Extergem for Manutti; Studio 967 Architetti Associati with Dieffebi; Marco Pisati for Cordivari; the designers of Studio Makio Hasuike & Co for Cristina Rubinetterie; Alessandro La Spada with Visionnaire; Arter&Citton for Ibebi & Pointhouse; Dea Sgarbossa and Nicola Russo of makethatstudio with L’Ottocento; Studio DNA Kaluderovic & Condini for Jacuzzi, and all the other winners selected by this year’s ADA jury.

Also present at the event, Alberto Sánchez and Eduardo Villalón from MUT Design studio who, for the second time, had been commissioned by Archiproducts to design the prize trophy. For the 2018 edition the young Spanish designers presented an object, in a limited edition, that draws inspiration from the principle of the Möbius strip and describes perfectly the character of the awards: two seemingly boundless expanses converging in a most natural way. A metaphor for the collaboration between brands and designers. The result is an intriguing play of light and shades, blank and filled spaces, glossy and opaque finishes.

Seeing the energy at work in via Tortona is an extraordinary achievement , a true fashion “Fuorisalone”. Today the Tortona area is a full-blown fashion district, in which we have always believed, and thanks to the synergy with the institutions and projects Milano XL, Milano and WHITE have become the go- to fashion events on a global scale, as is easily inferred by the increased turnout from abroad”.

2018 F/W womenswear collection by Fiorucci,

Fiorucci is more than a fashion brand. It’s an Italian story, that began in Milan in 1967, when Elio Fiorucci was defined the “champion of democratic fashion”. 31 years later, Fiorucci is back: the label was named Special Guest of this fair’s September edition and is ready to steal the show with an exclusive pop-up store at the Archiproducts Milano ground floor. Here buyers and press will have the chance to purchase items from the brand’s Autumn/Winter 2018 collection, played on brilliant holographic fabrics, jersey, vinyl, denim t-shirts and oversize sweatshirts.

Archiproducts + Nike: run, Milano, run!

Archiproducts Milano for Nike Run and Architecture, the race around the city’s architectural and artistic landmarks

Seven young athletics future stars and a race aimed at discovering the city of Milan. Run and Architecture is the second of the seven race meetings 2018 organized by Nike featuring the Flying Girls. The race testimonial was Micol, one of the crew members with the passion for architecture. The girl guided the runners around Milan architectural landmarks, together with the architect Giulio Ceppi. A unique itinerary wrapped up in a 90-minute mile covering 7.8 km and broke down into 4 legs, that had its finish line at Archiproducts Milano.

The Archiproducts Milano staff welcomed the girls with a rich buffet and guided them around the showroom’s 2018 setup, showing them all of the 70 international brands partner of #TheDesignExperience. At the end of the race, Giulio Ceppi had some gifts for the ladies: a bunch of collages mixing the athletes photos with artworks pictures.

The runners started from Nike headquarters – where they got their Nike running shoes and gear – and headed to Piazza Gae Aulenti, where Giulio Ceppi talked about the iconic architect and the future of the city’s design and urban environment.

The exhibition “Scollamenti Temporali” was the second stop of the race. The runners reached the Milano Triennale to discover some of Giulio Ceppi’s works, including a series of collages combining photos of women, Art, Fashion and Lifestyle.

The church of San Bernardino alle Monache was the last stop before crossing the finish line at Archiproducts Milano. Here the girls could admire the frescoes connected to the story of Floriana Crivelli, founder of the original cloister.

Archiproducts Milano. Colour and Three-Dimensional Patterns

The new setting of the building has been revealed, designed with 70 international brands

 The new setting of Archiproducts Milano has finally been revealed. For the 2018 edition its design has been dictated by colour and three-dimensional patterns experimented onto different materials. During the Milano Design Week thousands of people – among them architects, companies, journalists and specialised public – have visited the great appartment at via Tortona No. 31 fitted out in cooperation with 70 international brands.

The project has been designed by many professionals:the Elisa Ossino Studio, that designed the new façade pattern, also reproduced onto the stair bringing to the upper floor of the building, and two other rooms inside.Studio Milo for the space granted to Saba Italia; Christophe De La Fontaine and Aylin Langreuter for the space Dante Goods and Bads, in co-branding with Cedit and One Mario Sirtori; Veronica Leali and Matt Lorrain for the space granted to SP01.

A key role in the design of this new edition was played by colour, that from the walls to the fabrics and pieces of furniture completely redesigns space, even if in a gradual path that, although shy and rigorous in some areas of the building, sometimes reveals a stronger identity and offers an experience you can completely dive in.

Colour and three-dimensional patterns are experimented onto more surfaces: aluminium chains, wallpaper, ceramics, velvet, sound-absorbing wood wool, acoustic fabrics, walls and pieces of furniture.
 

Black, silver and blue are the colours of the hundreds of very light anodized aluminim chains by Kriskadecor giving shape to the three-dimensional drawing on the façade made by the Elisa Ossino Studio.

Rigorous on the façade, the chromatic scale inside is made up of several pastel nuances, from powder pink to petroleum blue going through sage green. Each room has a different colour, realised in cooperation with the German brand Caparol Icons and the very young File Under Pop with its studio in Copenhagen, founded by Josephine Akvama Hoffmeyer, whose colour palette is present on some areas thus giving them a stronger chromatic mark.

The young Australian brand Sp01 presents the new collection designed by Tim Rundle, combining industrial materials such as steel pipes with cone-shaped glasses, brass, pewter and luxury coatings for padded products. All the pieces of the collection are divided into three different sets, where fabrics, walls, floors and ceramics three-dimensional surfaces designed by Cedit and hung like paintings onto the walls communicate one another inside the same chromatic palette.

 A delicate petroleum blue colours the working room on the ground floor, where an unprecedented soundproof room designed by the Finnish brand Framery for short meetings or co-working activities is located. Petroleum blue is present in such spaces in different nuances, from the bread chests of the French Tujague to the three-dimensional technical fabric by Giovanardi going on the tracks along one of the walls.
You can find the same colours in the installation IN TOTO – Montreal a Milano. Curated by Azamit, style icon and visual storyteller for Montreal, the project pays homage to the contemporary design of the Canadian city, ‘so wonderfully tormented and pervaded with post-industrial melancholy’, with a selection of seven designers in whose works the soul of the city echoes. The exhibition is made up of two different installations embodying the two extreme climate conditions of Montreal. Petroleum blue colours the room evoking the harshness of the winter days, while green covers the space proposing a journey through the splendour of the long summer evenings.
Going onto the stair bringing to the upper floor you unexpectedly find yourself on an open terrace, a charming place filled with the green colour of the plants climbing onto the wallsand of the revolutionary patent by Roofingreen: a unique green mantle, identical to natural grass, with the advantages of an industrial products in terms of maintainance and durability. Here the teak-wood collections by the French brand Les Jardins find their location.
Inside, the first space revealing a strong chromatic mark is the corridor, that from a mere passageway turns into a space where you can stop and have a break. One of the two walls, completely covered with panels with plates of sound-absorbing wood wool by Knauf AMF in a dark blue colour, is divided by three big circles with comfortable padded seats, realised with the fabrics by One Mario Sirtori in the brightest nuances of blue and yellow, offering unexpected alcoves.
The space granted to Saba offers an experience you can completely dive in. It was designed on a project by Studio Milo, making colour the leit motif of this setting. A big mirror is located along the diagonal line ideally separating space to create two different rooms, each one welcoming the brand new Saba collections, among which you can find the unprecedented versions of the New York Suite sofa with fabrics specifically designed by the Sardinian fashion designer Antonio Marras.
 
More neutral is the chromatic palette exhibited in the space granted to Paola Zani, a young brand set up by a completely Italian 50-year experience, where family craftsmanship opens to new contaminations. In a welcoming and extremely bright space, where zenith light enhances the ‘Nude’ pink onto the walls, the new indoor and outdoor collections by BÜRO FAMOS and mist-o are exhibited.

Bright and vibrant plays of colours characterise the big hall with the fireplace, where a long table by Alki is located under the high windows and in the middle of the room you can find a rich composition of the Extrasoft sofa by Living Divani, surrounded by a series of small tables to work in an informal way.

Here colours are mainly divided into two strong parallel lines. Their presence onto the walls creates a ‘trompe l’oeil’ effect thanks to the wallpapaer by Texturae, able to visually widen space and to constantly remind of perceptive plays between a two-dimensional and a three-dimensional vision characterising the areas designed with the help of the Elisa Ossino Studio.

In a space conceived as home working kitchen is one of the key pieces, usually the most welcoming place of a house! Completely renewed, this room becomes a hybrid space with a kitchen on one side and a bookcase on the other side, in perfect harmony with the multidisciplinary character of Archiproducts Milano. The kitchen wall is designed by Florim Stone according to a project made by the team of Archiproducts: an elegant block hung in the marble version Marble Marquinia. The set is then completed by the bookcase and table by Desalto, with the everlasting cantilever chairs S 64 by Thonet and a series of vegetable-fibre folders by Esemplareunico, hand-made objects offering a unique tactile experience.
The perfect synthesis between matter and colour experimentation is the installation Dante Goods and Bads, a young German brand founded by Christophe de la Fontaine and Aylin Langreuter. In their project materials and colours meet and melt, from container to content, playing on the concept of three-dimensionality. On the walls the brand-new ceramic collection designed by the Enrica Cavarzan and Marco Zavagno from Zaven Studio for Cedit.

The path ends on the first floor with the smallest, but also the brightest room of the building in its new total-green look. An intimate and comfortable space, ideal for reading or for informal meetings, that welcomes the bookcase, chairs and small table by Casamania&Horm. The biggest wall hosts an original composition of herbals of natural flowers, unique works made by Officina Naturalis with an artisanal wooden frame. The black nuance of the furniture and frames marks an elegant contrast with the intense sage green of the walls and the bright velvet of the curtain made by One Mario Sirtori, whose fabrics furnish the whole first floor of the building, from the precious velvet curtains to the coatings of the several pieces of furniture specifically designed for Archiproducts Milano.

The lighting system hung onto the ceiling of the entire building is designed by Flos, with Infra-structure by Vincent Van Duysen on the ground floor and the brand new system The Tracking Magnet Surface by the Architectural Collection on the first floor. The decorative lighting is designed by Vibia, whose latest indoor and outdoor collections light almost all rooms on the first floor up. This year also the Australian brand Volker Haug Studio, lighting up part of the space granted to Saba, the German brand Luctra and the English Astro Lighting are partners of the project.

Last but not least, inside the court of Opificio 31, two outdoor areas welcomed visitors, respectively fitted out with the new collections by Braid together with the hand-made lamps by Bottega Intreccio and the collection of urban furniture Urbantime by Diemmebi, designed by Alberto Basaglia and Natalia Rota Nodari.

Archiving and Sequentiality. The new façade of Archiproducts Milano

Perceptive effects, with both two-dimensional and three-dimensional visions, designed by Elisa Ossino Studio

 A composition of black and white abstract panels designs the new façade of the building of Archiproducts Milano. The material is the same, but its design has a new author. Hundreds of very light alumium chains by Kriskadecor, which have covered the building located at via Tortona No. 31 in the last two years, unfasten once again to be reassembled in a new pattern designed this year by the Elisa Ossino Studio.

The façade design visually transmits the idea of ‘filing’. A concept that, with different shapes, can be found in three other spaces of the building designed by the Elisa Ossino team: the stairs bringing visitors to the upper floor, the long corridor and the big hall on the first floor. A path, whose concepts of ‘filing’ and ‘serial nature’ are translated into a combination of geometries and colours, constantly reminding of perceptive plays between a two-dimensional and a three-dimensional vision.

The extraordinary archive room dedicated to architects, which is Archiproducts’s main property – Elisa Ossino explains – has inspired the general concept of the project. It has been visually translated into a series of abstract panels on the façade, representing both the intangible archive of data and information, and the material records, necessary elements for construction”.

The same panels can be also found inside, in a visual path that from the façade accompanies visitors through the stairs, bringing them to the upper floor. While outside blue is the only hint of colour on a black and white shot, inside the panels, drawn onto the walls, are moduled through a chromatic scale going from light green to the slightly traced blue on the façade, in a path that will gradually drive visitors to totally dive in colour.

On the upper floor, the first space revealing a pronounced chromatic sign is the corridor that, from a mere passageway, turns into a space for a possible rest. One of its two walls, completely covered with sound-absorbing wood-wool coloured plates, is spaced out by three big circles with comfortable padded seats that offer unexpected alcoves.

Another area of the building taking shape from Elisa Ossino’s pencil is the big hall with the fireplace, hosting a long table under the high windows and a big sofa in the middle of the room, with a series of small tables allowing to work in an informal way.
Bright and vibrating chromatisms identify this space, structured on two strong parallel lines. Important works onto the walls, with wallpapers that visually widen the space, create a trompe d’oeil effect, with a perceptive effect involving both two-dimensional and a three-dimensional visions, that inspired the whole project.

“Montréal a Milano” … resonating the soul of the city

In Toto x Montréal a Milano” will be part of the new design experience at Archiproducts Milano, during the Milan Design Week 2018. Curated by Montréal style icon and visual storyteller Azamit, the showroom is an ode to the city’s contemporary design essence: beautifully tormented and tinged with post-industrial melancholia.

Montreal is beautifully tormented – Azamit explains – but it seems that it has found balance & harmony regardless of all the contradiction and the search for an identity, just like the two extreme weathers”.

As a special guest of Archiproducts Milano, the “In Toto x Montreal a Milano” showroom is comprised of two distinct installations that highlight the city’s extreme weather patterns. Carefully curated, the exclusively Montreal-designed objects are assembled to propose a journey through the lusciousness of long summer evenings, and the starkness of long winter days.

From the colder, angular lights of Lambert & Fils to the vibrant monochrome tints of Foraine by Atelier Barda and the unexpected plays on softness and rigidity by Claste and D’Armes… transcending notions of culture and place (Maison Milan, Pascale Girardin), and function and form (Atelier Zébulon Perron) – the collection suggests harmony in contradictions, and manages to bring warmth to undying winter days, and a fresh breeze to the relentless summer heat.

“Even though each designer has it’s own identity & design essence, each piece that was chosen had something that reflected the same effect in it’s finished product: fragile but yet strong, weightlessness but yet imposing, fluid but yet rigorous”, Azamit

Archiproducts Milano 2018. Work in progress for the new ‘Design Experience’

30/03/2018 – Work in progress at Archiproducts Milano for a new ‘Design Experience’!

For the third time at the Milan Design Week, the design hotspot located at via Tortona 31, has made space for totally new collections of 70 international brands exclusively selected for the 2018 edition.

For the last two years, over 30.000 designers have visited the smart working, living and outdoor spaces of Archiproducts Milano, and starting from April 16th, they will finally discover the total new look of the co-net-working space in Zona Tortona.

This year’s setup has been taking shape thanks to both new as long-lasting collaborations where many different designers have been adding their personal touch. Elisa Ossino Studio, Studio Milo, Christophe De La Fontaine and Aylin Langreuter, Veronica Leali and Matt Lorrain have contributed to the space setup, each focusing on a different area, but all in full synergy with the Art Direction of Archiproducts Milano.

Within a unique play of colors, patterns and materials, the intimate spaces of this Tortona Hub will host numerous brands, architects, journalists and qualified visitors in a brand-new look. One of the new key elements of this year’s edition will be color, thanks to the collaboration with the German brand Caparol Icons and the young Danish brand File Under Pop, founded by Josephine Akvama Hoffmeyer.

One single location for an ambitious project with multiple identities: urban installation, with a new façade pattern designed by Elisa Ossino Studio; exhibition itinerary, throughout the 14 rooms of the enchanting early 20th century apartment, with open terraces, decorated ceilings and ancient oak and herringbone-patterned floors; and digital interactions, revealing every detail of the several collections that bring new color to the 2018 look of Archiproducts Milano.

This shared partnership continues to grow hence the 2018 setup has united over 70 brands from all around the world!

Some brands have been part since the very first beginning of Archiproducts Milano and have already reconfirmed this year’s collaboration: DesaltoSabaVeluxBticinoFlosSp01RoofingreenKriskadecor and Vibia.

Special guest of the 2018 edition will be the installation IN TOTO – Montreal in Milan. Curated by Azamit, style icon and visual storyteller for Montreal, the project pays homage to the contemporary design of the Canadian city, ‘beautifully tormented and tinged with post-industrial melancholia’. A selection of seven designers, whose objects resonate the soul of the city: Atelier Zébulon PerronClasteD’ArmesForaine by Atelier BardaLambert et FilsMaison Milan and Pascale Girardin.
