Some of the exhibitions I am most excited to see in Milan are the ones that don’t involve any new products, just re-imagined ones. The show Cuisine d’Objets by 5.5 Design is one of those events. The designers will be presenting ‘recipes’/instructions on how to create new objects from regular household items. Similar in spirit to the Droog show, these events seem much more appropriate right now than lavish design-art pieces. Perhaps a post-trip compare and contrast is in order.
