Key styling trend in Milan: The workshop

Carl Hansen & Son at Milan's Triennale Design Museum

This year's edition of Milan is seeing a lot of exhibitors showcasing the production stages of their designs. Pieces of furniture are styled as a work-in-progress to show how ideas came about, what materials were used, how they were assembled and the amount of work that was needed to take a chair or a table through to the retail stage.

This puts the emphasis on the techniques and crafts used by artisans from all disciplines and answers consumers' wishes to know more about the provenance and production cycle of objects.
