A Kitchen Toolbox From Milan Design Week 2012

Here we are, the countdown has almost finished: Milan’s annual Salone Internazionale del Mobile, probably the most highly anticipated event dedicated to design and furniture on the worldwide calendar, is starting tomorrow. Until 22th April the city will turn into the capital of design, innovation and trend-setting.

While waiting for the beginning of the week-long fair, Fine Dining Lovers provides you a selection of some of the newest and coolest kitchen - or kitchen  inspired - items, that will be presented at this year's event.

Milan Design Week takes place, for the most part, in two distinct areas: a bit out of the city, Milan’s Fair in Rho has 230,000 square meters dedicated to furniture and design, the Salone, with a large part for young, emerging talents and brands; and at the same time, in Milan’s centre, the coolest neighbourhoods come to life with events, happenings and parties. It’s what’s been come to be called, the Fuorisalone (outside Salone) – and is the more informal, inventive part of the event that involves the city’s centre as well as the ex-industrial areas that have been reconverted today in cultural districts – thanks to the many photography studios, design and fashion ateliers, research centres, foundations, laboratories and showrooms.
