The interview
The version of Ionna Vautrin about Fuorisalone
1
What does the Fuorisalone mean for you?
_
Fuorisalone is the place where I took my first steps in the big jungle of design! It’s actually where I exposed my first projects for Industreal at Fabbrica del Vapore in 2004. It’s the place where one can be amazed by a small, unexpected exhibition just like by a monumental installation of a well-established company.
2
And what does it mean for Milan?
_
It is the event that makes the whole city live day and night for an entire week! Without the Fuorisalone, the furniture fair would still be very interesting but obviously less funny, lively and amazing.
3
The most important thing you found out or learnt at the Salone
_
As the moral of the fairy tale "The tortoise and the hare" by Jean de La Fontaine says, “You don’t have to run, you just have to leave on time.”
4
Your favourite corner during the Design Week
_
The Achille Castiglioni Foundation, which made me make up with my profession of designer.
5
The fetish you found (or stole) during the Design Week
_
I have often been dreaming of leaving with a Servobandiera of Interni designed by Castiglioni for Zanotta.
6
The strangest thing that happened to you at the Fuorisalone
_
What happens at Bar Basso remains at Bar Basso.
