We are working on an eBook which will recap Milan Design Week 2018 Best News, Trends, Exhibits.

Only two weeks left to the and it’s time to tell you more about our project for this year. The news is, we are working on an eBook to be released after the Milan furniture fair.

The publication will be totally independent and no-sponsored (I told already you here something about working as a design blogger during the design week), for this reason I’m inviting you to share it and to take part in our project.

I’m explaining you how in this post.

[ ITALIAN ]

Mancano solo due settimane alla  ed è ora di raccontarvi meglio di cosa mi occuperò-anzi, ci occuperemo- quest’anno. Stiamo lavorando ad un eBook che verrà pubblicato al termine della design week.

La pubblicazione sarà completamente indipendente e non sponsorizzata (vi raccontavo qui del lavorare come design blogger e dell’approccio differente che vorrei sperimentare quest’anno) . Per questo vi invito a condividere il progetto e a partecipare.

Come, ve lo spiego oggi in questo post.

Non sarò da sola in questo progetto. Oltre alle contributors del blog, con noi ci saranno le foto di Davide Buscaglia e le illustrazioni di Berry Aktuglu, aka Atelier Mave.

Davide già lo conoscete. Se no, vi invito a guardare le sue foto qui. E io comunque devo ringraziare le colleghe blogger di WEBLOG se ho già avuto il piacere di lavorare con lui in altre fiere ed eventi di design . 

Berry è invece la creativa con la passione per illustrazioni colorate e giocose dietro ad Atelier Mave, brand di lifestyle e cancelleria.
