Milan Design Week 2012





Another Milan Design Week completed! 


I keep forgetting how much walking you do in the short amount of time when at the Design Festival ... 
( not-to-self - forget about looking cool during the day, where trainers! )


I was drawn to the Ingo Maurer show that featured lot's of new one-off objects plus the latest version of the LED Wallpaper ... all fantastic but what grabbed my attention was the adapted 'biotope' and 'johnny b. butterfly' wall which consists of hand-made insects, each a work of art on their own - they flutter out of natural sponges which conceal the source of light and filter the colourful and diverse lumens that are emitted from it.
