At the Milan Design Week, the London studio Ocher showed a new collection in the Spazio Rossana Orlandi gallery.
To get into the field of view of the iconic gallery owner Rosanna Orlandi, especially to exhibit in her Spazio, is a great success. Gallery is a place of pilgrimage for all who are interested in the most fashionable and non-trivial design. Here it is always crowded and you can always buy something unique or just extremely interesting. And on the days when Milan Design Week and i Saloni take place, Spazio Rossana Orlandi is one of the most popular points of attraction. On the opening days and the party in the courtyard filled with ivy and vineyard, the entire design establishment comes to greet the hostess in unchanged dragonfly glasses and look at the new items she has selected.
Rosanna Orlandi comes from a family of textile magnates, began as a fashion designer, but became interested in industrial and gallery design. Rosana Spazio opened its doors in 2002 in the building of an old knitting factory, not far from via Madzhena. There is a shop with designer mass-market here, and there is also a boutique, in which works of limited edition are presented. Rosana has a rare gift to discover talents. In the halls of her gallery you can always find new items from Marten Baas, Nicky Zupants, Nacho Carbonell and many more.
So what was shown in the famous gallery of a girl from Ocher? The design studio was founded in 1996 by the British Joanna Bibby and Harriet Maxwell MacDonald, then they were joined by Solenn de la Fuschardieu. All the furniture and interior items they make only on order and manually. Their business card is textured, unevenly dyed leather, covered with characteristic patina steel and brushed bronze. They love objects with contours, as if drawn by hand. In Ocher, Milan brought all the newest from its catalog: Celestial Pebble pendant lights — sea flasks similar in shape to sea pebbles on bronze pendants; A whole family of chairs, stools and tables Sable - with metal frames, covered with multi-colored Italian leather with textured seams and spectacularly angled corners; Caribou chairs and chairs - wrapped in colored leather, on a loosely springing frame; Panther console - from patinated steel and black plaster. Ocher already has showrooms in London and New York. It is great that now they became friends with Rosana.
