Cross Roads: cross cultural creations
Curated by Italian architect Simone Micheli, this exhibition paired handmade home fabrics by Muya Ethiopia with bone china tableware and woven chairs by Italian brand Schönhuber Franchi.
Staged in Ventura Lambrate, the most experimental district during Milan Design Week, the exhibition emphasised the visual threads connecting each of the pieces: casual stripe placements, pops of bright colours on a white background, and most of all, a craft-based approach to making.
