With nonchalance, two slender golden flamingos preside the entrance of Palazzo Dama, the anticipation in Liberty style of the refinement of the interiors of this nineteenth-century noble villa, heritage of the ancient Malaspina family, only a few years ago transformed into a 5-star hotel by architect Antonio Girardi with respect for the architectural context and attention to every detail....

Superstudio, between innovation and tradition

Milan and design represent an increasingly solid bond which owes its success to the ability it has to renew itself, directing its gaze toward the future without forgetting the past.

Kartell: 70 years on exhibit at the Palazzo Reale

The carpet as a typology expresses itself in a loose and casual language, one that is often bold. It provokes and entertains....
