MY mind  works in such a weird way sometimes .....I just can see the similarities between the worldwide super star MAFALDA and the new born "MAFALDA" designed by Patricia Urquiola 

Moooi and Erwin Olaf at Milan Design Week 2013...

At this year's Salone del Mobile ,Moooi entered a bold new era with an incredible space in Milan's Tortona district ,in over 1700m2, the worlds of Marcel Wanders ,Moooi and Erwin Olaf came together to spectacular effect .

Erwin Olaf has been working with Moooi for years and this year its founder and art director Marcel Wanders decided to devote an entire exhibition to the photographer. The dutch company has transformed an imposing space of 1.700 m2 into an impressive assembly of colorful living quarters with new product displays, and lounges. Interior design meets artistic photography and they connect, creating the perfect balance between two inspiring, stylish and playful realities. New creations by Marcel Wanders, Studio Job, Joost Van Bleiswijk, Edward Van Vliet, Neri & Hu, Nika Zupanc, Moooi works/Bart Schilder, Bertjan Pot, Raimond Puts, Lorenza Bozzoli and Zmik are revealed. 


 The photographs unfold their stories and feelings on a large scale, reaching a stunning height of 4,5 meters especially for this exhibition. Admiring them feels like stepping into a world of exceptional sophistication, permeated with the sharp intensity of human emotions and enveloped in a dreamy haze of subtle tension.
