Fuorisalone returns to Milan: discover our photo reportage.
Milano Design Week is definitely the world’s most important design event. Besides the Salone del Mobile furniture fair (that took place at the Fiera Milano exhibition centre from the 7th to the 12th of June 2022), also this year the Fuorisalone played the important role to turn design and some of the leading brands active in the sector into the real protagonists of the event – featuring hundreds of shows, installations, performances and exhibitions across the city’s design districts.
The theme of this year’s edition of Fuorisalone was “Between Space and Time”: an invitation to reflect on the major changes happening in the world today, in order to achieve sustainability goals and a collective vision toward global recovery.
Pardgroup was actively involved in the activities of the Fuorisalone: we teamed up with our clients to set up several installations but we also enjoyed the unique atmosphere that the Design Week always brings to Milan.
Here is a short photo reportage of what we enjoyed the most!

The installation consisted in a large-scale immersive art experience made of a series of stacked panels combined to form a walkable tunnel. A pond acting as a mirrored surface doubled and reflected the opening of the cavernous volume, contributing to create a sense of movement and flow.
