Milan 2010 promotes anti bland designs

The volcano was kind enough to erupt just after we landed in Milan, allowing us to spend 3 fabulous days in this temple of design. We saw amazing designs having one thing in common: no blandness in sight!
 
Outdoor furniture designs were no exceptiion.I loved the amazing Nemo chair by Fabio Novembre for Driade.
In his own words : 'Fabio Novembre uses furniture design to tell intense and fascinating stories in which the protagonist is often the human figure (or parts of it). This human figure is capable of becoming abstract and universal, able to propose a mythicized beauty as occurred in Greek art where heroes (assuredly "dark and hairy") took on proportionate and divine features in sculptures. In 2008, Fabio Novembre brought a mysterious reclined lady to life on the Divina lounger, and so with this new piece it is with all the more reason that Fabio seems to state the possibility of "anthropomorphic design".'
