From making-up to breaking-up, Prophets & Penitents:

to the small screen. Featuring the debut of 35 chair prototypes, and
assorted established & emerging designers.

between 22 – 27 April at the Oratorio della Passione Sant’Ambrogio and

Bar Basso Party
Via Plinio 39, from 11pm
Serving the best cocktails in town, DAMn°’s annual party at the infamous Bar Basso is always a hot & sweaty affair.
From the bar to the toilet queue and out onto the streets, we defy anyone not to make new friends and greet old ones like it was only yesterday. No guest list, no secret location, this is a party without the need for a chaser.

DAMn° Peach Kauch
3.30pm
K11 conference room at the SFF
DAMn°'s Peach Kauch twists the idea of a design talk:
serious one moment, the next an entertaining amateur hour for professional minds.
An on-stage interaction between designers and a few famous quotes from
the mouths of such luminaries as Albert Einstein, Arne Jacobsen, Orson
Welles, David Hockney and Frank Zappa, it's an attempt to talk about
design in the way people experience it: spontaneously, as part of life,
love, death and anything between.
