Milan 2007: Sony Design x Master Craft Lombardia Project

During the Salone del Mobile that tooked place in Milan, the Sony Design Center showcased Sony Design x Master Craft Lombardia project, a truly intriguing exhibition at the Palazzo dei Giureconsulti. Visitors had the chance to experience the creative intelligence of the Global Consumer Electronics and Entertainment Company coupled with the manual skill and artistic flair of master Lombard artisans.

Along with Sony’s design philosophy and electronics technology cultivated over the years, Lombard artists and artisans have dedicated their ingenuity and professionalism to crafting prototypes conceived by Sony Design. 10 proposals focusing purely on design will debut, all of them tied up in the underlying concept to propose a new product appearance. They are ultimately aimed at creating a pleasant relation among human, product and space. The creations include wooden, marble or leather shelves with built-in speakers; seats with leather or fabric upholstery whose headrests emit soft and soothing notes; picture frames and other solid marble objects that hide tiny speakers and in some cases small light and scent sources; specially processed glass panels containing monitors; or galvanized, laser-engraved coffee tables that contain video projectors allowing presentations of movies and business content easy and beautiful at the same time.
