The best of l’Opificio @ Milano Design Week

Ilaria Corticelli, this year too, has been l’Opificio correspondent during Il Salone del Mobile and Milano Design Week 2019 presenting all the news and the projects where l’Opificio participated with its collections.

 

Ilaria Corticelli lives and works in Milan. She started as a graphic designer in 1998, continued as an art director for 13 years in a major multinational adv agency and then became a creative photographer. “My work depends from my unlimited passion for photography that I have inherited from my grandfather and father and it represents the best quality for a creative photographer: not just the mere technical knowledge, but how he observe”.

 

We adore her inquisitive glance, a little bit romantic but also ironic, attentive and light-hearted, not taking herself too seriously, just as we are.

Maybe some of you have followed the instagram takeover covered by Ilaria visiting Il Salone del Mobile and the Fuorisalone unveiling this year l’Opificio collaborations. For all the others, here Ilaria’s walkabout.

 

We started with the preview of Ca’Ventiquattro, the apartment designed by the architect Roberta Borelli of MakeYourHome in the Isola Design District. The apartment will enter shortly in the AirBnB circuit; if you didn’t have the time to visit it, you can book a night to experience its great atmosphere.

We then discovered this year installation of Studioart at il Fuorisalone in the heart of the Brera Design District, where l’Opificio new cotton velvet collection curtains were the perfect frames for the set up.

It was than the time to welcome Ilaria at l’Opificio stand in the xLux Hall3 of Il Salone del Mobile, where we presented the new collections: Architrame and Relief designed the first by Lanzavecchia+Wai and the second by Bruno Tarsia. On the stand we used: a beautiful decorative paint colour taupe of Wilson & Morris, with whom we launched a collaboration, whilst on the floor the moquette of Besana Carpet Lab. 

 

Next stop of Ilaria’s walkabout at Il Salone del Mobile, to discover where l’Opificio textile where on show was by Fratelli Boffi, that used the Loop fabric collection, Tacchini stand that selected Steila collection for the seat Pastilles designed by Studio Pepe and Perlain collection for Reversivel Millenium by Martin Eisler.

Finally rushing, through the crazy traffic of the Milano Design Week days, Ilaria visited CasaFacile DesignLab, at the ground floor of the scenographic Coima Building in Piazza Gae Aulenti, in the heart of the most innovative and creative area of Milan, the Innovation Design District. Here - in the staging designed by Studio Pisk - Wilson & Morris has presented the new decorative paintings for l’Opificio. Who of you has already discovered the new 15 shades proposed during the overcrowded workshops hold by Elisabetta Viganò and BludiPrussia?

This was our way of celebrating Il Salone del Mobile 2019 and the Milano Design Week.

 

Congratulations to all! See you in 2020.
