Vogue Italia’s office opened last week to a host of designers including JW Anderson and Rafael de Cardenas, who have revamped the Milan headquarters for the city’s annual design festival.The exhibition, “Life in Vogue,” featured editor-in-chief Emanuele Farneti inviting eight creatives to reinterpret the interiors of magazine’s editorial office as part of this year’s Milan design week. Along with JW Anderson and Rafael de Cardenas, designers David/Nicolas, Massimiliano Locatelli, Pierre Marie, Ana Kraš, Storage Associati, and Studio Proba also took part in the project.“’Life in Vogue’ is a very special project because it has a dual value,” said Farneti. “First and foremost, it allows our magazine to build extraordinary collaborations with some of the most important creative voices in design, architecture, and interiors, and also with leading firms in the sector...Secondly, for us, the event is an opportunity to open our doors to the wider public: a message of inclusivity which firmly underlines the most recent editorial developments at Vogue Italia.”While the French-Lebanese design duo David/Nicolas were tasked with making their mark on the editor-in-chief’s office, where they created a warm and earthy palette to bring the comfort of a home to the workspace; the lining of the wall of the corridors of the Vogue Italia offices is a bold-patterned custom wallpaper by the Paris-based designer Pierre Marie, who was also responsible for taking over the talent room.“When we approached this particular space we wanted to try and grasp the spirit of the Italian corporate lifestyle, elegantly simple yet sophisticated in its history,” said David/Nicolas.On the other side of the hallway is the break room, which was given a playful and contemporary makeover by Studio Proba founder Alex Proba.“When we were tasked to bring new life to the break room, I first asked myself the question of what a break room meant to employees,” said Proba, “and why so often these rooms were – and still are – not at all inviting as a place to spend more time in, rather than to grab a quick snack.” https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
