The Variations Polo changes floors to the last. The spirit of the design week and the race to inaugurate the new creations
To see the blood of the Fuorisalone In the veins of the Design Week, nothing is like attending the race to inaugurate installations and fittings in time. Work in progress up to the last moments, while outside, already from Monday morning, queues are formed on the sidewalks.
At Palazzo Litta they gave themselves a further dose of adrenalinewhen between Sant’Ambrogio and Christmas, The organizer of MoscaPartners events decided to report the fixed appointment of Variations from the garage of viale Gorizia on the Darsena here in Corso Magentalast year unpublished (and appreciated) destination halfway between the poles of the 5vie and via Tortona. As 11 years earlier, when the founders Caterina Mosca and Valerio Castelli first opened the palace of the Milanese aristocracy. « Even then it was a race against time: we had to exhibit to the ovens of the barracks in via Vincenzo Monti, when it was evacuated for the eternity just 15 days after the event » says Caterina Mosca, checking the details of Palazzo Litta of which, in eight years (from 2014 to 2021), he learned to know any secret. « I think I have cried in the Ministry’s offices to open it. » Today the welcome return home after the ban on the region.
