Once again, the design world filled the city of Milan for an inspiring week of immersive brand experiences and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Home, Auto, and Fashion created a variety of unique and memorable moments ranging from large-scale tech-enhanced pop-ups to full-scale lifestyle installations to smaller room-sized experiences with hand-crafted products. The common thread among these experiences is the commitment and success of building a connection between the brand and the consumer through crafting multi-sensory and imaginative interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our standout experiences from this year’s city-wide events were…<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u963f\u5c14\u79d1\u74e6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The anticipation around Alcova every year lies not only in the chance to explore the unique and crumbling beauty of bygone days but in the curation and individualized setting that each artist creates to display their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year was no exception as two abandoned and historic villas, Villa Borsani and Villa Bagatti Valsecchi, became the sprawling architectural backdrop. Featuring over 80 independent exhibitors from all over the world, the immersive and otherworldly locations allow you to “experience the intersection of design’s past, present, and future.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Moooi’s Custom Scent Making<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“A Life Extraordinary” is Moooi’s yearly fantastical immersion into their world. This year’s event featured a scent-making machine, where after answering non-standard yet perfectly Moooi questions like “Do you want to go\u2014Up \/ Down?” and “What surface are you drawn to\u2014Sharp \/ Smooth?” your custom scent is created and bottled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a unique and memory-making experience. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At Salone, exhibition design takes center stage. Visitors encounter innovative presentations of furniture, kitchen and bathroom fixtures, architectural materials, and decorative objects.

Brands took the opportunity to create a sensory environment inspired by water, while others focused on creative ways to display their product. As retail designers, it is an enriching and inspiring experience to see how brands put their best foot forward in a global show where brands compete for the visitors’ attention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This year at Milan Design Week, we were awed by unique and holistic product environments that will undoubtedly build lasting memories and, therefore, a connection with the brand, no matter how large or small. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stories are told without words, curation and imagination inspire, and multi-sensory, immersive experiences build the strongest bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time, Milano!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
