Handicrafts inspiration.
Right now in Milan the Design Week is taking place and we are looking forward to tell you more about our trip there.
Great inspiration comes from visiting the fair, the 56th Salone del Mobile, but also from the many happenings around town for the Fuori Salone.

From 25 to November 27 2016, in Pistoia takes place the event Arts & Crafts, in the evocative and former industrial spaces of the so-called Cattedrale (Breda’s factories) just outside the ancient walls of town.
Pistoia is at the centre of an area rich in tradition. In 2017 it will be the Capital of Italian Culture and with this event aims to showcase high-quality handicrafts.
There will be plenty to see: from textile art to furnishings and design, to fashion clothing and accessories, from tableware to food design. Furthermore the event will be accompanied by an exhibition (Galleria dell’Artigianato Artistico della Toscana) of objects from over 60 atelier-workshops, symbols of Tuscan creativity and handicraft.
There will be also many themed walks in the historic centre of Pistoia. Visitors will be invited to stroll right into “vie dei mestieri”, the tortuous streets around Piazza Duomo, one of the most fascinating squares of Italy.

As every year we couldn’t miss to visit Milan during the Design Week (12th-17th April), always looking for artisan realities and sources of inspiration for our future interviews and itineraries.
The 55th Salone del Mobile is taking place in grand halls of the fair in Rho – Fiera while the Fuori Salone embraces the entire city. It is a great time to enjoy Milan.
We are ready to walk a lot and collect many news for the blog. Follow us in the next few days on our Instagram and Facebook accounts with live updates.
