Singapore’s Air Division will be in Milan next month with at least 5 items to showcase. All have clean lines and a no-nonsense look about them. The mixture of thick and thin (positive and negative space) of the Unit Shelf is particularly appealing, as are the angles of the 2 chairs. And the Pebble table is too smooth not to drool over.
London’s ChauhanStudio will be presenting a new collection in Milan, including a new TV concept for Humax Electronics and the Colombo line of telephones for Suncorp Communications.
Traditionally the words “summer school” strike fear into the hearts of students. But the courses offered by the Scuola Polytecnica di Design in Milan are a bit more appealing than the typical faire. The school has organized four week-long workshops, each on a different theme and taught by leading designers including Ross Lovegrove, Marti Guixe and the Campana brothers. Forget home-schooling yourself, learn from the masters in a design capital this summer.
