Mindcraft exhibition in Milan

The MINDCRAFT Exhibition at the Cloister of San Simpliciano was one of the many highlights of my trip to Milan. Danish Fashion design Henrik Vibskov curated the exhibition and it was just as eclectic as his own designs and shop in Copenhagen. It felt very contemporary with a focus on handmade and crafts, impressive by its volume with eye for details, cohesion and color. It's not my forté to put things into lots of words, I tried to capture it in these few photos.
Oh and if you were wondering, this exhibition has nothing to do with Minecraft, the video game 😉 or maybe it has: it's playful in some sorts!

The textile huts have such detail and feel womb-like cosy and even slightly African:

What makes the Designweek in Milan so special, is that its historic city center is the temporary stage for contemporary design, which creates unique and very interesting contrasts. Like here:

Another feature that made the Mindcraft Exhibition so good, is that the Mindcraft website is so explanatory as well. And it comes with a beautifully layouted catalogue, designed by Henrik Vibskov himself.
