2011- Fuori Salone Milan Design Week.
Hi there!
I must say that this year I'm really lucky. I gave myself that extra day here in Milan so that I could visit the much spoken about FUORI SALON off the fairgrounds of the Salon Internazionale del Mobile. It's such an experience to walk through these wonderful neighborhoods. From art galleries featuring artists from all over the world, to architectural studios with their front doors wide open welcoming visitors to see their most exciting projects for the year. Boutique windows dressed with the most breathtaking pieces and between all of these storefronts you have pizzerias, bars, cafes and trattoria's joining in on the fun by offering free tastings just outside their doors.
Wow, viva Italia and its beauty is what I have to say. It's not just what Italian that’s great is but rather the way this city hosts the world to visit and share it's passion for creating design, beauty and everything that is good!
Part of this Fuori Salon is a small pavilion that features Home Spa design which exhibits all design related to wellness and fitness spaces.
From the smooth touch of illuminated white alabaster sinks, to rugged wood stumps and rattan chairs for your outdoors to this surreal like setting of mosaic walls and bed on ropes that swings from the ceiling. Imagine stepping out from your Japanese bath or Hammam and into this almost fantasy like bed where you can rest, read or simply daydream.
The need for wellness spaces is essential in our homes. It can simply be meditation rooms or even a corner to practice your yoga: a home gym that offers a sauna or Jacuzzi, not to mention a Hammam. With our rigid winters a Hammam can be beneficial to relieve pain, relax muscles and aid respiratory problems. Hammam therapy efficiently release toxins from the body and is even more powerful if combined with a massage. If you would like to know more about Hammam design and how you can incorporate one into your home please feel free to email me at Rosalia.sestito@yahoo.com
These last two images that I've shared are of a decorative wall encompassing a gorgeous painted ceramic tile inlaid with a decorative moss. Since we are now more inspired than ever to create an oasis in our homes from the inside out, how amazing would this be as a feature to your outdoor garden just to add that touch of something unique!
This all I have to share with you from this year’s 2011 Milan Fuori Salon. If you would like more info about this event follow the link below.
Bye for now.
