Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka's huge installation for electronics brand LG was awarded the Milano Design Award 2017, but also won over Instagram users with a glowing wall that gently pulsates.


This display by Spanish designer Arturo Álvarez was designed to evoke emotions, and was one of the most talked-about things on show at the Euroluce lighting fair this year.

Visitors to Studio Swine's tree-like installation for COS have uploaded images of themselves interacting with the sculpture's bubbles, which burst into clouds of white mist when touched.

Although not strictly created for Milan design week, an oversized pink face modelled on Pinocchio greeted visitors to the city's La Triennale museum. It formed the entrance to the Design for Children exhibition.

Fashion brand Louis Vuitton expanded its Objets Nomades homeware for Milan this year, exhibiting the collection in a neoclassical Milanese palace. But visitors were more interested by what they found at the entrance: a bright yellow Futuro, a prefab house from the 1960s.

Jaime Hayon's whimsical Stone Age Folk exhibition was installed inside a Milanese palace. The Spanish designer used Caesarstone quartz, metal and stained glass to create a series of large translucent faces, and encouraged visitors to take selfies beside them.
