Designers at Milan Design Week are pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation, captivating visitors with their unique and thought-provoking creations. One such designer, Ryan Twardzik, is making waves with his debut collection, Drip, featuring fluoro-colored chairs made of bent metal sheeting. His latest creation, Spherae, is a ball-shaped cushion supported by polished wood dowels that can be easily assembled without the need for tools.
Twardzik’s work is on display at SaloneSatellite, where he is showcasing his passion for furniture design that is not only visually appealing but also interactive and engaging. His Pop-Up collection features an armchair made of metal posts wrapped in upholstered foam cylinders, creating a soft-touch experience for users.
In another part of Milan Design Week, Google is partnering with Chromasonic to create an installation called “Making Sense of Color,” where visitors can experience the visible spectrum through sound and light. This immersive experience aims to challenge perceptions of color and provide a new perspective on its many dimensions.
Meanwhile, lighting designer Volker Haug and architect Flack Studio have collaborated to create Me and You, a collection of decorative lighting fixtures that offer a fresh take on traditional design. Their innovative approach to lighting design is on display at Via San Maurilio, showcasing their creativity and craftsmanship.
