smow in Milan: Ciao

It’s almost time.

The exhibition halls are half-empty, the beer fridge in the press room half-full and the hold of our Lufthansa plane back to Leipzig is being waterproofed on account of the 6 kilos Italian rainwater we are now carrying with us.

It’s been a fun week – and a heart-felt thanks from us to all who made it possible and who made it what it was, both here at the exhibition centre, but also Superstudio, Zona Tortona and all the off-site shows and exhibitions.

But although we are leaving Milan, we take with us a notebook full of observations, interviews, anecdotes, thoughts and plain nonsense.

We haven’t, for example, as yet said an thing about Kartell, Lampert, or Thonet. Or Les Belges. Bauhaus. Phillipe Starck. Pizza. And we have a second Silvio Berlusconi video.

All that will come in the coming week or two, in addition to the “usual” infos, updates, reports and product descriptions.

But our next tour is already planned.

We haven’t told the (smow)bosses yet, but from 03.06-07.06 the International Design Festival takes place in Berlin.

And we’ll make sure you can read all the best bits here.

Ciao…
