If you happen to be walking the streets of Milan this time of year, there's a good cause being promoted, and with fine taste to boot! The Italian cancer research association, AIRC, and Italian association of industrial design, ADI, will host Love Design, a charity event that raises funds for oncological research by selling donated designer furniture, lighting, and objects at bargain prices. With exactly 1,000 pieces from Italian brands and designers like Alessi, Portrona Frau, Flos, and Eduardo Baroni (his "Thinking Machine" rocking chair for SINTESI will be one of the objects for sale), the event, now in its third year, hopes to trump last year's earnings of €130,000.
Love Design : "Il Cuore del Design Batte per la Ricerca" November 15 - 18, 2007 Museo della Permanente Milan, Italy (free admission)
