As I went home on Monday night

@ laboratorio Casabella(via Marco Polo 13) – Chipperfield veste Valentino. In mostra alcune fotografie di Santi Caleca, planimetrie dei negozi di Milano e Parigi ma soprattutto i grandi modelli in scala 1:5 realizzati per il nuovo concept dei negozi di Valentino, già esposti l’anno scorso nelle vetrine del negozio in Montenapoleone 20: una palette di grigi con grande protagonista il terrazzo alla veneziana del laboratorio Morseletto, in cui irrompe il noce americano della sinuosa, spettacolare scala, resa in un altrettanto spettacolare modello.

Glas @ Kerakoll design gallery (via Solferino 16) – le nuove porte in vetro di Piero Lissoni, scorrevoli e a battente, allestite nello splendido showroom di Kerakoll con zona ristoro nel delizioso cortile interno.

Appartamento e cortile @ Boffi (via Solferino 11) – consueto allestimento dell’appartamento Boffi, vicino di casa di Alfredo Salvatori.
