— Ambra MeddaThe Fuorisalone is a moment of great discovery and enthusiasm because it is a chance to meet again for people like us working in the design field. The unmissable in the 2016 Design Week is the Air BnB project.
For Milan it means lots of interesting cultural and business initiatives. The city gets full of people coming from all over the world to celebrate design. It is an opportunity, a honour and a responsibility for the city'.
Although I respect everything happening inside the Fair, I think the Fuorisalone offers much more interesting material for a kind of research like mine. The most important thing I discovered at the Salone is the work of Andrea Anastasio.
I always find something special at Antonio Marras. He has a keen eye for craftsmanship and I always find a gem there: a gown or a basket.
Actually I run a lot and don’t eat much during that week. But since I am not based in Italy I am usually happy with a simple sandwich or a salad made with fresh and tasty ingredients. However, my favourite places are Spazio Orlandi, Nilufar and Galleria Luisa delle Piane.
I met Edward Barber, who I am currently living in London with and with whom I am expecting our second baby girl!
