Take Shade

Our trip to Milan/Lake Como last month coincided with design week in Milan. I couldn't resist taking dozens of snapshots of the giant lampshades hanging above Via Montenapoleone, which were installed as part of the annual celebration. At night, Teresa Sapey's Luce dal Lino project illuminated the street.

The photos were taken at opposite ends of the street. I especially like the patterned lampshades.

P.S. Grace/Design*Sponge has a post today with some snapshots from Milan 2009.
