Being in Milan these days means feeling the fresh air that envelops creativeness.
Despite the institutional event is the Salone del Mobile in Milan Rho Fair, it is the city streets that we live innovation: entire neighborhoods transformed into workshops and showcases on international design.

The Fuorisalone has become so well known that the big manufacturers aspire to attend more in the city area (see Porta Genova or Brera) rather than at the fair. There is still room for the young creative independents that rent disused garages or old warehouses to exhibit their works, for example in the Lambrate area.
Also interesting are the works of many European design schools, which converge in Milan to showcase the works of their best students, for example, the Kolding School of Design or the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design, just to name a few.

At the end, during the evening, when you are tired from the long walk, to attend events, drinks, entertainment, cocktails, you'll be spoiled for choice.
