The 5 Vie area is the new Lambrate. Beh...I'm repeating what I heard from Italian designers and journalists here. This year, more than 50 events are taking place in the area and, for those in Milan, Wednesday night is the there will be agitated.
I went to meet Mariângela Negroni and her Funky Table store. Mariângela was a visual editor for major magazines and huge companies - such as Benetton. She has one of the sharpest eyes in Milan and, not surprisingly, she is invited to help at major exhibitions - at the Bon Marché , Paris, inclusive. The store that opened in Via Santa Marta last year is the materialization of this vision. It brings together numerous pieces with the delicate rescue of nonna - crochet is always present and the symbol of Funcky Table is her nonna Gina - and composes them with important ethnic research - work with a Senegalese cooperative fills the store with strong colors and artisanal delicacy.
Handmade, by the way, is the theme of this participation by Mariângela and her sister Titti at Fuori Salone. But the duo also works with beautiful pieces from Dutch companies. "I look for a mix that allows the customer to find pieces at a good price, but that are true to to our atmosphere", summarizes Mariângela.
