L’Orient Express: un viaggio nel lusso del passato
orient-expressPer gli amanti del lusso “retrò” è in arrivo sul “binario 6”, niente di meno che il mitico Orient Express. Il leggendario treno passeggeri del secolo scorso, sarà di nuovo pronto a percorrere i binari per la tratta Venezia-Roma in un indimenticabile viaggio nel passato. Per adesso sono soltanto quattro le date previste: il 26 aprile, il 17 maggio, il 21 novemvre e l’11 dicembre.
E’ stato il servizio privato Venice Simplon Orient Express, a riportare all’antico splendore alcune carrozze del treno che ha simboleggiato la Bella Epoque. Infatti a bordo, ogni dettaglio richiama fedelmente il periodo che fu. I preziosi arredi a firma Maison Lalique, scelti dal designer Leandro Tusi De Borba,i decori della carrozza ristorante, i pannelli vetro decorati, le abat jour a forma di tulipano, consentiranno ai viaggiatori un fantastico tuffo nel passato, assaporando i fasti di un lusso che, seppur antico, non è mai demodée. Le tariffe per contro, non ancora rese note, si pensa che saranno molto attuali.

From 27 to 30 November, Spazio FMG in Milan will host “Milano work-in-progress 2,” a truly interesting exhibition.
Leandro Tusi De Borba and Simona Galateo curated the set up of the projects realized by MABarquitectura, Consalez Rossi, Paolo Pasquini and 5+1AA, at the discovery of Milan to be.
Two are the main themes faced by the exhibition: public housing and retail malls. Very different from each other but both offering interesting prospects for experimental, leading-edge design.
“These are new-generation works, designed by some of the most interesting young architects on the Italian scene, and they convey the concept of a different Milan, which looks out towards Europe and expresses the idea of contemporary architecture responsive to its users’ needs, such as the physical and environmental quality of the complexes created,” comment by the exhibition’s curators Molinari and Galateo.
The winners of “Living Milan,” MABarquitectura and Consalez Rossi put their works on public display on Via Gallarate and Via Civitavecchia. Both projects are currently almost finished.
“Milano work-in-progress 2” also focuses on the subject of new retail developments through the design for the Food Park in the Maciachini area realized by Paolo Pasquini and the Retail ParkArea at Milanofiori by 5+1AA.
“With ‘Milano work-in-progress 2’, Spazio FMG continues its investigation of the near future and reinforces its mission as a space open to quality architecture and a responsible approach to the destiny of our habitat,” concluded Luca Molinari, Leandro Tusi De Borba and Simona Galateo.
