The night Milan came to Alexandria!
Not everyone could go to Milan, so LightCo, together with Indesign, was the venue for a review of Salone del Mobile 2017. Platters of Italian prosciutto, salamis, Italian Gorgonzola cheeses, breads, antipastos and other delicacies and an outside bar greeted guests.
A distinguished industry panel discussed their insights, observations and often personal views of the event in an extremely engaging and entertaining way. Featuring multi-disciplinary designer Adele Bates from Melbourne, Todd Hammond of Hammond Studio, Henry Wilson of Studio Henry Wilson, Stephen Todd, Habitus Feature Editor and our own Roy Doron.
The topics included: Technology & Innovation, Design Language, Colour & Materiality, Euroluce & Lighting, Best Stands and What Matters To Oz A+D?
Some highlights discussed on the evening:
