Harri Koskinen and Genelec at the ‘Milan Design Week’ 2009
From 22nd to 27th April 2009, the Milan Fairgrounds plays host to the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, Euroluce (the International Lighting Exhibition), the International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition and SaloneSatellite. Featuring an infinite variety of goods, from furnishing, furnishing accessories, lighting products and creations by young designers, quality and innovation are merely the lowest common denominator. The yearly Milan Design Week attracted nearly 350’000 people last year.
Genelec 6010A and 2009 Fennia Award winner Genelec 5040A subwoofer were part of the show in hall 24, thanks to Genelec Italian distributor A&DT.
Mr Harri Koskinen, involved in the industrial design of the Genelec 6000 and 8000 Series loudspeakers as well as the 5040A subwoofer participated to the Milan show with a separate show room in Porto Venezia 8, in the centre of Milan showing the "Harri Koskinen Works" products now including Genelec loudspeakers together with a range of other design products such as ‘Tablebench’, ‘Foldedlight’, ‘Shelfsystem’ and ‘Sofabed’.
“The range of goods on offer“, says Manlio Armellini, Chief Executive of Cosmit, “is always varied. At first and very rapid glance over the items that the 2,723 companies are intending to showcase, it is clear that the credit crunch has not led to a damping down of creative energies, and certainly not to homologations.
The Salone Internazionale del Mobile (48th edition) and the International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition (23rd edition) is occupying the same exhibition space, showcasing 360° domestic furnishing both in terms of typologies and styles, not to mention the arbiters of tomorrow’s trends.
The goods on offer at Euroluce, the International Lighting Exhibition (25th edition), which is the exclusive benchmark for the Lighting sector are as wide-ranging as they are top notch.
In synergy with this event, a stimulating programme of collateral initiatives devised in collaboration with the PLDA and APIL lighting designers’ associations will be held, together with the International University Design Schools’ Conference, Designing Designers, dedicated this year to the theme of light.
