Milano: Capital of design
A city always in turmoil, since Expo 2020 it has made a leap forward reaching the most cosmopolitan capitals of the world. Every year the city of the Salone del Mobile attracts over 400,000 visitors, who visit the fair during the day and enjoy the Fuorisalone at night.

Paris: The taste of beauty
The”Ville Lumière”, poets, freethinkers, artists, painters, and musicians... This is Paris! With its lively and romantic atmosphere, it remains open to imagination and creativity.

Green spaghetti
From urban farming to the world of outdoor living, from the dimension of major projects to the table.

Sustainable lightness
What is the meaning of “sustainable design”? The architect Massimo Roj has made this conceptual combination an imperative of his modus operandi. The maxim “from the spoon to the city” and vice versa, in this episode where eco-sustainable projects meet new awareness regarding nutrition and cuisine.
Zero-kilometer masterplan
If the local dimension prevails over globalization, design expresses itself through proposals related to the ideological context in which they arise. In the retail and residential projects of the architect Massimiliano Locatelli, local crafts, raw materials and culture are the main ingredients, like the local, seasonal products utilized for the most “Milanese” type of risotto.
Taste the Architect
The latest episode of Taste the Architect puts six protagonists of international design into the kitchen. Their approach to food reflects the values that have formed the identity of their practices and their works of architecture. These are the fundamental ingredients of architecture today… and also of the recipes created for the occasion by the chef Andrea Vigna.
A different take on pasta
Making diversity into a strong point is the strategy of Marijana Radovic and Marco Bonelli, whose projects stem from a mash-up of experiences, disciplines and experiments, spanning residences, hospitality, offices, product design and even yachts. For them, spaghetti with the scent of the sea.
A foursome... of flavors
Just as the studio Piuarch has been shaped by the complementary relationship of its four partners (represented, in this case, by Monica Tricario), so the firm’s architecture takes form from a balanced, symbiotic relationship with the host context, in spatial, cultural and social terms. An aesthetic harmony of tastes, taken to a new culinary level.
The recipe for wellbeing
Giovanni de Niederhäusern teaches us that food (like the tasty red prawns in saffron sauce) also has an impact on the sense of wellbeing perceived inside a project, which Pininfarina Architecture develops around the equation “beauty+technology=impact.”
Pure design, by the spoonful
The starting point is pursuit of the essence, of the most authentic expression of objects and places. The result is a unique, heartfelt identity. And the medium is the holistic vision of Ludovica Serafini and the Palomba Serafini Associati studio. A delicate design approach that can only be epitomized – in gastronomic terms – by a velvety purée.
The right personal "slice"
