Salvatore Massone’s architectural firm signs the project CaBarET, a new pastry bistro located in the Isola Garibaldi neighborhood in Milan.
The project focuses on a careful study of space and its valorization through heterogeneous architectural and furniture elements with a specific formal and functional identity.
As in the case of a tray of diverse pastries, the so-called cabaret, these elements are held all together within the 100sqm area by the pattern of the floor and its projection on the ceiling. The red resin, combined with dark base marble grit, distinguishes the working area from the area for the public. Similarly, the red resin ceiling and the dark joists exploit two different types of light: a more technical and precise one above the operational area and a more diffused and mood lighting over the tables to illuminate the two distinct sectors of the bistrot.
Spotti Milano inaugurates its renovated spaces in viale Piave 27 with a brand new architectural layout and an enriched selection of distinctive furnishings. The founders Claudio and Mauro Spotti have collaborated with the architecture and design studio Quincoces-Dragò, run by David Lopez Quincoces and Fanny Bauer Grung, to develop interior environments that reflect the new private and contract consultancy service offering, now broader and more tailor-made than ever.
Clean lines, natural light and delicate finishing details have transformed the space, redefining the volumes and creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Spotti Milano always maintains its unmistakable taste, distinguished by a cross offer of furnishing choices ranging from iconic classics to the latest interior design trends, identified by its founders in collaboration with Quincoces-Dragò through a passionate research activity.
Internationality, research and conviviality: these are the ingredients that characterize Spica, the new restaurant in the heart of the Milanese district of Porta Venezia. The two celebrity chefs, Indian Ritu Dalmia and Italian Viviana Varese, share a common passion for world cuisines: hence a restaurant that embraces diversity, offering a gastronomic journey through four geographical areas (Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Europe and America).
A journey that is reflected from the kitchen to the interior design thanks to the project by Vudafieri-Saverino Partners. The architecture studio based in Milan and Shanghai boasts exceptional experience in in developing new restaurant concepts (in Milan: Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia, Peck CityLife, Ristorante Berton, Dry…).
The architects Tiziano Vudafieri and Claudio Saverino have designed a space capable of surprising with its unusual mix of Asian suggestions and homage to the masters of 20th century Milanese design. The result is a lively and colourful restaurant that reflects the vibrant atmosphere of Porta Venezia and its dynamic and young public.
Solo Crudo is a place for those who want to take care of themselves with raw food, an experience that proves a proper awareness in maintaining the beneficial and nutritional properties of the ingredients.
The restaurant, located in the business district of Milan, is an aesthetic interpretation of this philosophy, focusing on the processing of a harmonious architectural space.
With four wide glass windows open itself on a brand new part of the city and the BNP Diamond Tower, establishing with it a dialogue of reflections and visual interactions.
It opened in Milan, the third restaurant of the brothers Matteo and Salvatore Aloe, creators of the clubs from Bologna dedicated to the artisan pizza, that brings up to 10 the number of pizzerias opened in Italy, which can be added to the two in London.
After two restaurants in Isola and Navigli, Berberè expands also in Milano Centrale, in a dynamic block, active heart of the Milan business, in order to represent a further growth of the brand of artisan pizza, supported by the increasing recognition of the food critic, as for example the reconfirmation of the Tre Spicchi in the section “Pizza a degustazione” of the guide Le pizzerie d’Italia 2019 by Gambero Rosso.
Innovation and history come together in DEGW’s interior design and fitout for the innovation hub created by Crèdit Agricole
An open and inclusive ecosystem supporting business and innovation for start-ups and other companies. There are 2700 m² of space with 200 workstations for accommodating approximately 50 start-ups in the peace and quiet of the renovated cloister of a 14th century convent, whose entrance gate is in a building along Corso di Porta Romana in Milan.
Devised by Crédit Agricole in Paris in 2014, the Le Village project now operates in 29 different locations in France with others soon to open. The project, set to expand internationally, will be opening its first facility outside of France here in Italy. There are also plans to open similar spaces in other Italian and European cities.
The project involves the renovation of a small apartment in Milan consisting of a living room and kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Thanks to the presence of two metal structures it was possible to rethink the complete reorganization of the interior spaces.
The first, in red and pink, is placed in the entrance space; the second, in shades of green, organizes the entire sleeping area.
Designed as “light” elements, the metal frames are used as structures to support closed floors and elements, useful for interior furnishing and the division of the various environments.
International design and innovation office CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati has won the “Reinventing Cities” competition organized by the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group with a project for a new office building and center for scientific research in Milan, Italy. The design by CRA features a 200-meter-long (650 feet) urban vineyard that covers the entire building, creating a publicly-accessible footpath that ascends from the street level to the rooftop. The project, called VITAE, was developed with the leading real estate group Covivio in a team with the consortium Habitech as environmental experts. Construction will kick off in late 2019.
The Reinventing Cities competition, promoted by the C40 network of the world’s megacities committed to addressing climate change, is a call for urban projects to drive carbon-neutral and resilient urban regeneration across the globe and to transform underutilized sites into beacons of sustainability and resilience. VITAE has won the competition to reinvent a vacant, post-industrial lot in via Serio, a street in south Milan located a few hundred meters from the Fondazione Prada contemporary art museum. The complex includes a brand-new piazza, adding up to a total of more than 5000 square meters of public space given back to one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) (NYSE: PM) today presents IQOS World revealed by Alex Chinneck at Milan Design Week 2019, the pinnacle event in the world of art and design. IQOS, the flagship innovation in PMI’s smoke-free portfolio, will host the exhibition to the public April 9-14.
The IQOS World exhibition—which is expected to be visited by more than 50,000 people during Milan Design Week—is an artistic expression of the future, brought to life through a collaboration with well-known sculptor Alex Chinneck, whose art is distinguished by his bold and disruptive vision. Alex’s unique talent for combining art, architecture and theater in his work manifests on a monumental scale: The architecture itself, both inside and out, becomes transformed into a work of art, taking on new and unexpected shapes. The walls and floor become metaphors for a process of transformation, evoking—through imaginative portals—seemingly infinite routes to a newly imagined future.
A house from the earlyXXcentury in Milan, about 50squaremeterslarge.
To study its physiology and materiality.
To understand that those who designed and built it they would have never believed in all the infinite small changes that each inhabitant would have made in less than a century (for example, the shared heating pipes are positioned in the middle of the house, instead of along the perimeter).
