A few months back, together with some class mates a trip was planned to visit Milan during the Milan Design Week. Last weekend came along and we had the opportunity of spending an entire weekend in the beautiful city of Milan. More importantly we were going to visit the Milan Design Week which was very exciting considering we are design students. It was a new experience for all of us, getting to see both international and national designers , meeting new people and discovering things we had never seen before apart from visiting Milan's tourist attractions of course.
Seeing as both my thesis and hypothesis were related to lighting , I was eager to visit an entire section from the fair on lighting. Philips and Artemide were two of the stalls that really stood out, which also happened to be two of my favourite design companies. They have been such an inspiration to me so far when working on my thesis and hypothesis that I couldn't wait to see some products in front of my eyes and maybe get a booklet or two for some more information. Besides regular visitors, we encountered a number of business men/women or design companies that were looking for products to incorporate within their designs. This visit helped in getting to know about new design companies as well as learn new information on the ones we already knew about. With the current projects we have this semester it was a great inspiration for unit such as retail or classrooms design because now we had fresh ideas and discovered new products which could be incorporated within uor design. I will most definitely attend a design week in the years to come, especially since we live on such a small island with little opportunities where different ideas are somewhat limited.
