Last April we made an extensive live narration of the Salone del Mobile 2017, with many interviews with key figures of the international design scene, illustrating the novelties and elements that have, once more, enlivened the city. A few months later we try to analyze the situation from a different perspective – namely, that of designers, collectors and entrepreneurs for whom the Milan Design Week has always represented a crucial moment.
The first to answer our little 7-questions set was Federico Peri. Born in 1983, on occasion of last Salone del Mobile the young designer has launched the latest versions of the Shapes lamp collection – displayed at the Nilufar Gallery - and the Galerie lighting family realized for FontanaArte.
1. What is the first thing that comes to your mind if I say ‘Salone del Mobile 2017’?
Salviati at Ventura Lambrate
2. Which product struck you as the most intriguing one this year?
The Baroquisme collection by Vincenzo de Cotiis.
3. The most beautiful installation?
I equally appreciated both Luca Nichetto / Ben Gorham for Salviati and Formafantasma at Spazio Krizia
4. The most interesting person you’ve met?
Someone who collaborated with Carlo Scarpa and Franco Albini in the past.
5. Did anything disappoint you?
Knowing the great deal of work that any project demands, it would make feel me quite uncomfortable to mention something that actually disappointed me.
6. What would you like to see at next year’s Salone del Mobile?
More and more collaborations between great companies and young designers.
7. Your work in a nutshell.
Nonstop.
