Organized by Interni magazine, Green Energy Design was an exhibition of experimental, multimedia installations by some of the top international design talents. The event took place on the beautiful grounds of Milan’s Università degli Studi and it was the perfect site for a relaxing sunny Sunday morning after a week marked by loads of action and just as much rain. The main installations were along the courtyard and there were plenty of “isole relax” or relaxation areas where one could sit in well-designed comfort by the likes f Martà Guixé and Patricia Urquiola with a cup of coffee and a few Interni design week publications. It was a pleasant way to take in the work, some of it quite self-explanatory, some a little more obscure. Ross Lovegrove’s Solar Tree and Toshiyuki Kita’s Sunplant were two of the most obvious energy-producing pieces, and a most apt piece of social commentary was Gaetano Pesce’s installation of a bare space with a hospital bed called Lo Spazio Malato?
