@Milan: C&C milano’s rich textures and colours
That’s a statement: colour rules ! From the shop window, you can’t help but notice C&C Milano’s display for the Milan Design Week. Novelties and classics, for bedding and upholstery, take new bright colours and fill the home with joy… And of course linen works wonders on these colours, thanks to its exceptionnal dye affinity…
Then you enter the showroom/boutique and notice the little twist in the accessories, such as the cushions, featuring new shapes or innovative fabrics (Maremma plisse is also featured in Radical Linen)…
A closer look at the fabrics will reveal a wide range of innovations, rich textures, moving surfaces, almost three-dimensional fabrics, striking and sensuous. My favorites:
- Oscar : amazing texture, also available with embossed patterns, in 90% Linen 10% Polyamide
- Pierre: an ultra-soft chenille in 100% Linen
- Ernesto: elegant panama in 73%Linen 15% Cotton 12% Polyamide
- Danse: contemporary jacquard in 52% Silk 48% Linen, double width 280cm
I could stay for hours discussing decoration and architecture with Emmanuele Castellini, founder of C&C Milano. His passion is as great as his cousin’s: Piero Castellini Baldissera is the designer who renovated Villa Necchi – built in the thirties and whose architect was Piero’s grandfather, Piero Portaluppi.
More about the family here.
More about Villa Necchi exhibition 13 April-6May with FAI and Fabrica to come soon…

@ MILAN: « CHERS VOISINS » BY MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA
The « Chers Voisins » (« Dear Neighbours ») installation at the Salone del Mobile in Milan showcases new Maison Martin Margiela furniture produced by Cerruti Baleri.
This year, the Maison created a temporary apartment that blends interior architecture and design in a style inspired by real life, disproportion and trompe-l’oeil.
Interior, day: a white room features « Telo » a disproportionate headboard. The structure seems to shrink and the linen quilted upholstery appears to follow suit.
-Linen, White, Sleep- is a thematic already expressed by Maison Martin Margiela for the Hotel La Maison Champs-Elysées in Paris; and also by CELC Masters of Linen at Radical Linen Stand, Maison et Object last January.
By the way, why « Chers Voisins »? You can find the explanation right here.
live from Milan: Luca Nichetto @ Discipline
Discipline features the new Paffuta armchair designed by Luca Nichetto.
A mix of fabrics were used, and the most striking one is a multicolor linen, developped by Lemaitre Demeestere with Jos Vanneste dyed yarns, discovered at the Linen Dream Lab Milano.
Luca Nichetto has a very busy Milan Design Week, presenting new creations @Cassina, @De Padova, @Established and Sons, @Foscarini, @La Chance, @Casamania, @Petite Friture, and of course @Discipline
SHEILA HICKS @ SIKKEMA JENKINS GALLERY, APRIL 20 – MAY 25, 2012
Sikkema Jenkins & Co. is pleased to present Sheila Hicks’s inaugural solo exhibition at the gallery, on view April 20 – May 25, 2012.
With a career that spans five decades, Hicks’s work traverses the boundaries between painting and sculpture, design, craft and even architecture with the use of woven forms. Challenging the hierarchical classification of textiles as a more artisanal design-based medium, Hicks combines her early training in painting, the interaction of color with Josef Albers, and art history with George Kubler, with an expert understanding of the craft of weaving and tapestry-making.
From sculptures such as Beauvais (2012) – a monumental work of coral, sepia, chrome and cadmium yellow linen stalks that is suspended like a waterfall – to her “minims” – framed woven miniatures made throughout her career – Hicks employs color and line as an abstract visual language. For example, Menhir (1998-2004), is a looming presence. The human-like form standing over five feet high is compromised of twisted linen cord – gathered and wrapped by foot long segments of rich blue, purple, gray and brown stainless steel fibers – that falls like human hair to its base.

Exibition from April, 20 to Mai, 25 2012. Opening reception: Friday, April 20th 6-9PM
Sikkema Jenkins & Co. gallery is located in Chelsea, Mahattan 530W22 Street – New York
