Just got to a Net connection after a week at the Milan Furniture Fair (thanks, Ruth and Erez!). Here are the pictures, unorganized, unedited and barely tagged, on Flickr.
Looks like it was packed with inspiration. I've been scouring the pictures, but couldn't find if you got to see the Halley LED lamp (http://www.lucesco.com/)?
Sadly, that was on my list of things to see, but I didn't get to see it in person. And, yes, it was pretty inspirational. Even all the kitsch stuff was interesting.
btw, mike, i dunno if we talked about this when i saw you at clarion alley, but are you familiar with kelley stoltz? he's got a traffic cone thing going, too.
That IS a lot of cones. Actually, my position on orange cones is a bit more abstract. I like what they symbolize, they're like highlighers for architecture, more than I'm obsessed with the actual cones themselves. Plus, I had the domain name lying around.
And, yeah, I'm in PDX most of the time these days.
Hi everybody and anybody who went to the Milan fair. I've recently returned from a school sponsored trip and have discovered a hard drive failure on my computer where ALL my images were stored.
If anyone has decent quality images of the Fair and also the Salone could they PLEASE PLEASE e-mail them to me or post them. It would be truly appreciated.
