Why Milan design week is such a big deal
What’s so important about Milan design week, and what can we expect this year? And how does the proposed “Arc de Trump” compare to the Arc de Triomphe?
In the latest episode of Dezeen Weekly, we look ahead to the biggest week in the design industry calendar, and discuss yet another bombastic architecture proposal from Donald Trump.
This episode was hosted by Dezeen features editor Nat Barker and design editor Jennifer Hahn. It was recorded and edited by Miguel Santa Clara.
