Design Week, FuoriSalone and the big furniture fair in Milan (Salone del Mobile) belong together for years like unequal siblings. Translated roughly “fair outside the fair“, the FuoriSalone is a presentation of design objects in the city center, where galleries, showrooms, or even old factories are converted for the time of the fair.

We show examples of the presentations. Shortly, we will present some of them in more detail.

The designer and architect Vivian Coser had placed an open space in the courtyard of the Università degli Studi, on whose walls and design objects some of the country’s special types of marble, quartzite, and semi-precious stones were presented. It was worth mentioning that natural stone was presented as a useful material for interior design, not as stuff for extraordinary artistic ideas.
