Corian loves Missoni and I love them both


I've been a fan of Corian as an alternative to granite since the first time I saw samples of the material at Ikea...when we'll be using Corian in our dream kitchen God only knows, but I digress...

I also love Missoni. There's just something about the bold colors, patterns and original zigzag weave that make Missoni a timeless, yet very au courant, house of fashion. Today, I happened upon information on a collaborative project called Corian loves MISSONI, a project though which "Iconic design material meets world-class master in colour and style." And boy, does it ever! Who knew Corian could be used in so many applications! I was especially impressed by the typographic chandelier/mobile as well as the applications showcasing laser cut outs and etching.

The images are phenomenal. It's definitely something I wish I could experience in person.
The exhibit is on display in Milan until July 31. Check out more photos here.
