Inside word on design at Milan’s furniture fair
I
t’s impossible to grasp the immense scale of Salone del Mobile – Milan’s famed annual furniture fair where thousands of global brands launch their latest collections. The world’s premier design event encompasses both the vast, purpose-built fairgrounds and also hundreds of pop-up shows and installations scattered throughout the city. Both Milan’s attendance and the scale of the events feel more ambitious each year and increasingly more challenging to navigate, even for someone like me who’s attended Milan 10 times in the past 12 years. As an Australian, perhaps the most cherished memory from this year was Local Design’s fourth outing in Milan, curated by Emma Elizabeth, who assembled the largest-ever group of Australian and New Zealand designers under one roof – 44 in total. Standout pieces include the KYSS sculptural furniture collection made from solid brass and solid timber – a collaboration between awardwinning furniture designer Tom Fereday and metal-smith maker/designer Studio Kyss – and Milan Edition pendants by Nicholas Fuller, whose work reflects the skill sets of both his fitter, machinist and instrument-maker father and grandfather. No Man’s Land by Raf Simons for Kvadrat celebrated the fashion designer’s sixth collection for the textile brand. Vintage furniture covered in the new collection was placed in and around original Jean Prouve prefab cabins, while a field of wild flowers by the Belgian florist Mark Colle completed the elaborate mise-en-scene. The exhibition championed new textiles with origins in fashion like boucle, tweed and corduroy. Studiopepe’s manifesto project, Les Arcanistes – The Future is Un/Written, unfolded inside an abandoned factory. Guided by the principles of alchemy, the Milan-based design agency conceptualised an immersive installation that

investigated man’s connection with the matter and the power of symbols. Vintage and new furniture were arranged around slabs of stone posing as coffee tables, the walls and ceiling of the ex-factory had been stripped down to exposed concrete and the steel structure was painted a vibrant seafoam, while the molten glass screens in purple and chartreuse came alive with shimmering reflections reminiscent of being under water. Milan’s newest design destination – Palermouno – is in a third-floor apartment in the upmarket Brera neighbourhood. Founded by interior designer Sophie Wannenes, the 150-square-metre gallery brings together vintage, modern and contemporary pieces in a space that feels effortless. Bold colours, striking patterns and statement furniture pieces harmonise and clash in equal measure, proving we ought to take a leaf out of the Italian style book and become unafraid to take risks with colour and pattern – possibly my top takeaway from Milan this year.
“Bold colours, striking patterns and statement furniture pieces harmonise and clash in equal measure.”

ersonally, I try not to think about how many times traction control (that clever little software nanny in modern cars that cuts the power and snips the brakes to stop you launching into a tree) has saved my life, but when it happens more than six times in five minutes, it’s hard to ignore. So I’d just like to say a little thank you to Mercedes-Benz AMG for installing the lifesaving lines of code in their new GT R Coupe. In its infinite wisdom, AMG (the mad sister of Mercedes-Benz) decided to launch this absurdly powerful, pendulum-shaped vehicle – with a nose like a swordfish and a similar ability to cut you to pieces … on the scariest race track in Germany, the Hockenheimring, in the rain. Fortunately, the GT R Coupe’s top speed is only 318km/h, and in the slippery conditions we were in no danger of reaching that. Because this car is so rear biased and is attempting to get all of its 430kW and 700Nm to the ground through the rear wheels alone, prodding the throttle on the way out of corners
is a bit like playing Russian roulette with your toes. Only the genius of the traction system, which they insisted I put in a race setting, so that it would go lairily sideways each time before it kicked in, kept me from pancaking that big, gorgeous AMG nose into a wall. The AMG GT R Coupe is not for the faint of heart, and someone rather unkindly suggested it might be the kind of vehicle lusted after by people who used to buy big, loud and unhinged HSVs. At an expected price of around $350,000, you’d have to be the sort of person who only feels alive when you’re perilously close to death to buy one.

For sale Agent: Marshall White Stonnington, Marcus Chiminello 0411 411 271 There’s something a bit Batmobile about the GT R Coupe, so it makes sense to park it in front of something that looks like Wayne Manor, which is very much the feel of this palatial Hawthorn pile.
