‘Craft Punk’ at the Milan Furniture Fair

Posted on | April 26, 2009 | Posted by Sara Francia Comments Off

For three days during Milan’s design week, Spazio Fendi was filled not with models parading down the runway but with young designers cutting, pleating, weaving and generally transforming materials and processes in live demonstrations, in “Craft Punk,” organized by Design Miami. Garden hoses were turned into chairs, ceramic vases were decorated by means of an old-fashioned photographic printing technique, and scraps of leather discarded from Fendi’s factories became tabletops, to name of few of the freewheeling projects on display (courtesy of The Moment).
