Guide – Milano Design Week 2013 – 9 Aprile

 

The Haas Brothers design studio meets the extreme luxury of Versace giving birth to The Donatella Chair: a futuristic throne made of golden honeycomb and black leather, truly inspired to the rock-glamourous style of Donatella Versace. Strong design characterized by fluid lines, in sharp contrast with the typical neo-classical or neo-pop pieces of the Versace Home brand. With this chair the two brothers Nikolai and Simon Haas show their intent of revolutionizing the concept of classic luxury.

Triennale Design Museum dedicates an exhibition to the recently deceased architect Gae Aulenti through a selection of her most iconic design objects made from 1962 to 2008. The exhibition, curated by Vanni Pasca and studio Gae Aulenti Associated Architectsis, presents the design evolution of Gae Aulenti, who was able to look to rationalism and to good design by re-inventing the Neoliberty and Art Deco elegance or catching up with irony with the practice of assemblage and the lesson of the avant-garde.
