Live From Milan Design Week!





What’s next in modern design? Attending i Saloni is the best way to find out. Metropolitan Home Editor in Chief Donna Warner and Deputy Director, Design News, Arlene Hirst are on the scene all week, reporting back with their favorite finds from the world’s most influential modern furniture fair via Twitter. Check out our roundup of the hottest tweets (with pics!) straight from the Milan fair's endless floors to the jam-packed streets.

@methome Brilliant designer Naoto Fukasawa designed this "Papilio" chair for the equally forward-thinking B&B. Cool zipper up the back.
We'll be blogging Met Home's Twitter highlights throughout the design fairs (High Point Market and K/BIS are up next!) but for all the behind-the-scenes news, insights and photos, follow the editors at Twitter.com/methome.
