Last week marked the 64th edition of Salone del Mobile<\/a>\u00a0and with it, another round of Fuorisalone, the whirlwind event that surrounds the fair, also known as\u00a0Milan Design Week<\/a>. Across the city (and sometimes beyond), an array of activations examined design through different typologies, site-specific settings, and big and small brands, from\u00a0Louis Vuitton<\/a>\u2019s ode to Pierre Legrain and art deco furniture at Palazzo Serbelloni to\u00a0Jaipur Rug\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0installation with Kengo Kuma at the Crespi Bonsai Museum to a group exhibition on\u00a0chopstick design<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Throughout the frenetic week, an impulse to unplug united many of the exhibitions<\/a>, including Prada Frame\u2019s symposium on the nuances of image production in an AI-dominated world and Lina Ghotmeh\u2019s labyrinth for MoscaPartners Variations 2026. The emphasis on being present and engaged marks a timely response to the increasing emphasis on digital reproductions, deep fakes, and algorithmically driven content.<\/p>\n

As the jetlag recedes, along with the rush of endorphins from zipping from one event to the next, a bevy of exhibitions still stick with us even after the fanfare has died down. The following tap into the theme of going analog, in addition to material research and use of engaging sites.<\/p>\n

\nWhen Apricots Blossom<\/p>\n

Commissioned by\u00a0Uzbek Art and Culture Development Foundation<\/a>\u00a0(ACDF) and curated by architect\u00a0Kulapat Yantrasast<\/a>,\u00a0When Apricots Blossom\u00a0erects a deconstructed yurt, designed by Yantrasast, within the garden of Palazzo Citterio. The structure\u2019s latticed framework and translucent skin house a place for quiet contemplation and conversation. It falls alongside the central exhibition which charts the transformations of Karakalpakstan in relation to the shrinking of the Aral Sea and how regional crafts have risen and creatively evolved alongside this change. The exhibition focuses on how local materials and intergenerational knowledge can be mobilized once again to respond to fragile environments.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Triennale Milano<\/a>\u00a0hosted a robust amount of exhibitions and retrospectives this year, including\u00a0The Eames Houses, and\u00a0Lella and Massimo Vignelli. A Language of Clarity.\u00a0The former debuts a new system of scalable modular models based on the Eames\u2019s approach to residential architecture. The latter is the first major retrospective presented on the duo. In partnership with MillerKnoll, the exhibition highlights the Vignellis\u2019 central role in influencing Knoll\u2019s graphic and corporate identity.<\/p>\n

\nUn\u2019ora di luce<\/p>\n

Curated by Marco Sammicheli and presented by the gallery,\u00a0Volumnia<\/a>, this installation illuminates the defining aesthetics to\u00a0Davide Groppi<\/a>\u2019s approach to light. Running along the central nave of the Church of Sant\u2019Agostino,\u00a0Un\u2019ora di luce\u00a0or \u201cone hour of light\u201d chronicles Groppi\u2019s work beginning from 1988, showing in real-time the ways in which his works embrace architecture and take on poetic forms.<\/p>\n
