It’s been a while. 15 years after I have attended the last Design Week in Milan things were different this time: At first, I’m not a student who has to sleep on a sofa of some Italian friends from university. And: it wasn´t all about getting free drinks…
Everything else was basically the same. Milan might not be most beautiful city of the world – though there are quarters which I think get quite close to that. But just to be in Italy during spring and to be among thousands of creative people was just amazing. The atmosphere and the openness is so much different than being at a fair.
And on the last evening I finally met with Gianluca, one of the friends from 2002.
