In the centre of town in the Brera district, Golran has a slick new showroom and Italian company Nodus will delight with a new collection of innovative carpet designs. The Alberto Levi Gallery on Via San Maurilio will be holding a show of South American fique flatweaves entitled ‘Heavy Metal’.
Ventura Lambrate is the place to see young, upcoming designers and Berlin-based designer Salem van der Swaagh will be exhibiting a new range of rugs in the area (see Design Notes COVER 46). Rossana Orlandi’s showroom on Via Matteo Bandello is a great place to hang out and Mariantonia Urru’s Sardinian flatweaves will be on display.
