More Orange at the Porsche museum in Stuttgart!
I'll take one of these . . .
Mmmmm, what's better for breakfast than a pretzel with fresh cream cheese and chives! - Awesome!

Le Specialita – world’s best super thin pizza!
Le Specialita interiors - NEEDS HELP! - Good thing the food is so good!
Great street art, (or "NOT"), starting to appear in Via Savona, (it's DesignWeek in Milan) - (anything to be able to stay out of my skanky hotel room!) — at Via Savona 99 - Milano.
Only the mainlanders are attracted to this crap!
Great colour palette.
Mmmmm – Fudgsicle dipped in chocolate with nuts; think I need more than one . . .
Ridiculous furniture branding!
Very interesting printed glass products . . .
BIG wooden head . . . ?
The best thing about the Scandinavian Design stand was the free flow champagne, not really the “reindeer stools” . . .
Fantastic night out at the Kartell launch party in town!
Huh?
ORANGE Chilewich!!!
Checking out "the scene" at a pre-dinner function at 10 Corso Como, (like a Fred Segal, but more interesting)!

Our “real” Macedonian dinner hosts, (not that also-ran Greek kind!), give me the ins and outs of the European furniture export business.
4AM – Waiting in my hot, noisy, expensive room, (with no aircon and deafening street noise), for my 10AM Singapore conference call to commence; arrgghhh….
“Printed” fashion makes it’s mark st SuperStudio in Tortona

15 seconds of fame at Cassina . . .
Selfies abound at Cassina 60's party
Not sooo hungry anymore, at the Japanese installation in Tortona, though the printed flatware is interesting . . .
“Animal House” - Marni exhibition of limited edition furniture and animals handmade by a group of Colombian women in aid of terminally ill children.
Poor planning! - Trying to get out of Milan on a Friday evening, driving up to the mountains, just like everyone else trying to get away for the weekend; "ooo!". . . :(
Into the mountains, only 90 mins outside the traffic of Milan!
Raining at the Simplon pass waiting for my turn on the one way road; though the temperature has been dropping degree by degree every few km, this wetness is not a good sign for good skiing tomorrow. . .
Gastronomitszche in Brig, Schweiz! - spicy curried apple soup - better than pudding and applesauce; a close second to fondue!
The Schweinfleisch and fresh in-season asparagus are also awesome.
