Milan Design Week Team Highlights
Hermès Richard Munao (Founder & MD) For me Fuorisalone is the stand out, now 10 different locations, it is a challenge to cover it all with so many inspiring installations and exhibitions to see. One particular highlight was Looking for Lightness by Hermès. The installation at Pelota with its structures of timber framed illuminated coloured paper beautifully.
