 Dan Thawley will guide us through this year's Salone del mobile,  from morning walks to drinks after dinner!

 

What's your top exhibitions at the Salone del Mobile you’re looking forward to this year? 

•  FORMAFANTASMA's Prada Frames symposium 'On Forest' at the Biblioteca Brandiese, and a look at the brilliant duo's collaborations with Maison Matisse and Richard Ginori. 

• ALCOVA: the off-site laboratory for an array of international projects in a rambling garden with experimental installations indoors and outdoors. Via Simone Saint Bon 1. 

•Catch the end of LEONOR FINI's magically surreal show at Tommaso Calabro gallery with works by Francesco Vezzoli.

• EILEEN GRAY's E.1027 master bedroom from the iconic French villa is brought to life by ClassicCon in an academic exhibition and immersive exhibition at via Solferino 44 

 


Where would your perfect spot for a lunch or dinner during the Salone in Milano be? 

Far from the madding crowds! I love Pasta Madre, or the country garden feeling of Un Posto a Milano. 

And where would you go for the best Negroni in town? 

SI MA TOWNHOUSE - Corso di Porta Vigentina 12 - a cocktail bar on multiple levels that feels like an eclectic apartment! I love Cantina Isola in Chinatown too for an amazing glass of wine. 
Discover the Reversible Linen Blazer!
