Salone Del Mobile 2024 | Vikram Goyal’s design stopover in Milan
The HinduMilan is always exciting, as Italy’s historic heart of design, manufacturing and fashion. Dimorestudio At Dimorecentrale, the new multi-purpose space by Dimorestudio — one of Europe’s most in-demand design companies — there were a number of stunning exhibits. Standouts included Canadian multi-disciplinary artist Anne Low’s ‘Fir Candle’, made with brass and hand-dyed and handwoven silk; U.K.-based ceramist Akiko Hirai’s ‘Mangetsu to Mikazuki’, a standing lamp in a weathered metal canister holding askew birch twigs; and Japanese bamboo artist Hafu Matsumoto’s homage to Loewe’s famous Puzzle and Hammock bags, with an interwoven lamp. Alcova Among the many installations at the itinerant platform for freethinking design, Spanish designer Alvaro Catalán de Ocón’s new addition to his ‘PET Lamp Project’ stood out. Inspired by the interlinked architecture of the Frafra people’s family compounds in Ghana, the PET Lamp Gurunsi series is woven from local elephant grass and recycled PET bottles by artisan weavers of Baba Tree Baskets.
