Today my colleague / friend Takashi and I were speaking on the pros and cons of the design fair. The one he was attending (Good Design Expo Japan) was different from the one in this post (Fuorisalone Milan), but the conversation would certainly have been the same. We spoke primarily of how even though it is wonderful and really right that when we’re at a gathering such as this that we get to see, touch, hold, and sit in the design, and yes, speak with the designers, it’s also a bummer that one cannot possibly see everything one wants to see. What is the solution to this? Photographer Giuseppe de Francesco may have an answer.

Fuorisalone
While the whole is difficult to see, the particular is always up to us. Made a cut, made a choice: Japanese touch during the Milan’s Furniture Fair collateral events. Thanks to Lavazza, Toshiba, Canon, MH, Elitis, Giuliano Fujiwara, Lexus, Archivolto, Driade, Yamagiwa…

Finding your way through here with an eye like Francesco and a little clicker and a lens (maybe even a camera) allows you to bring this Design Fair thing into an entirely separate space. I missed the fair, but I got to see beautifully captured. I was at the fair, but I didn’t see it like Francesco saw it.

This post is but one piece of the World Famous Design Junkies photography pie.
