Cioccolato is a beautifully designed bakery in Mexico which reminded me of a the Candy Room in Australia. Focusing on the vibrant colors & shapes of baked goods, the design team Savvy Studio created the entire concept. They were in charge of the interior design and the branding as well.
With the aim to surpass the previous world record for the largest coffee bean mosaic held by artist Saimir Strati, Russian artist Arkady Kim revealed her beautiful work which she called Awakening. Her mural had to meet requirements related not to the span of the artwork, but rather to the weight of the beans.
The former trade fair area of Milan (Fiera di Milano) comprising 255,000 square meters was the subject of an architectural competition in 2004 for a residential and commercial project. City Life won the competition with designs by Arata Isozaki, Daniel Libeskind, Zaha Hadid and Pier Paolo Maggiora.
The complexity and the scale of the work involved in the re-qualification of the former Milan trade fair area led the partners of CityLife to commission the design of the project to a group of architects rather than a single designer. The choice fell Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki and Daniel Libeskind, architects of different origin, culture and background, but who share the distinction of having gained extensive experience by working on some of the most advanced expressions of international architectural culture of recent years.
CityLife is the result of the combined efforts of this group of architects, along with contributions from an array of other professionals and consultants who have ensured the project’s structural, plant design, environmental, urban planning and economic sustainability.
Simultaneously available in English, Italian, French and German, the trade edition will be sold in Bottega Veneta and fine book stores worldwide. There will also be a luxury edition slipcased in intrecciato leather, which will be sold exclusively in Bottega Veneta boutiques.
