The very best previews of the Milan Fuorisalone 2019 handpicked by ITALIANBARK

The Milan Fuorisalone is the set of events distributed in different areas (design districts) of Milan on the same days when the Salone Internazionale del Mobile takes place.

Ventura Central e district debut was during the Fuorisalone 2017 and it was really a huge succes. Actually, the location in the abandoned warehouses underneath Milan’s Central Station in 2018 was the most instagrammed one last year and expectations are running high for this year.

Ventura Centrale 2019 will expand this year, from nine to fifteen vaults. Many international companies will present their work at Ventura Centrale this year: Maarten Baas (The Netherlands), Aria (Italy), Noroo Group (Korea), AGC (Japan), Lavazza and Gufram (Italy), Rapt Studio (US), Sky-Frame (Switzerland), Lensvelt & Modular (The Netherlands, Belgium), Weltevree(The Netherlands), FREITAG (Switzerland), TAKT PROJECT (Japan), Yamaha Corporation Design Laboratory (Japan), Cosentino (Spain), Humanscale (US), DNP (Japan), dpot modern and contemporary Brazilian furniture (Brazil).

“Instead of talking about good design in Milan, why don’t we take a look at bad design?” asked Swiss bag maker FREITAG and artist Georg Lendorff. It would be more fun, more honest and more exciting.
