This week in Milan was the 53rd edition of the Salone Internazionale del Mobile. On the exhibition, we can find an endless collection of the latest home-furnishings and global design products. Among them we find a variety of designed items created by some of our favorite architects. We select for you most-talked about architect-designed products from the Milan Design Week 2014.
