It's not just about jeans - Non solo jeans

This year, at the Salone del Mobile, Diesel Living was launched.
The Italian fashion brand joined forces with three other Italian brands: Scavolini to create a range of kitchens, Foscarini for Lighting and Moroso for Furniture.

At the fair the various designs were both combined and displayed separately to show living spaces and objects with a signiture industrial Diesel style.









The main stand for Diesel also showed a range of china ware produced in colaboration with Seletti, which will be officially launched this Autumn.

Diesel in the kitchen



Diesel kitchen, launched this year as part of Diesel Living, was one of the stands I most loved at the fair.

The Italian fashion brand managed to give all the designs, from the kitchen ventilation system, to the kitchen cart, to the lighting system, a distinctive look. The trademark industrial feel merged with a tasteful use of colour and materials, resulting in a elegant kitchen space with an edge.


 



My favourite touch. The jeans button on the yellow cart.

If Tarzan and Jane had stayed in Milan for the Design Week...

... They would have found a mini appartment to stay in just up their Street (metaforically speaking. Of course there are no streets in the jungle).
That is, if Gervasoni and Marie Claire had let them use the showcase rooms that had been prepared in via Durini, at 'Gervasoni Furniture Industry since 1882'.
The installations of the rooms was curated by Marie Claire to show Gervasoni's armchairs 'Ghost Out.'
The whole appartment, covered in exotic wallpaper and fuzzy liane, had a striking effect, evocative of a holiday home of past decades.
