An obligatory stop-off during the Fuorisalone marathon is Spazio Krizia, where a tireless Ingo Maurer has for years been doing the honours. This year the poet of light does it again with a spectacular lamp made from three nets hung in midair and filled with 350 crystals that can be taken down and personalised. The inspiration for this light sculpture, called Fishermans’s Tears, is a memory from 35 years ago, of fishermen’s nets in the Venetian lagoon. Two guests of honour: outsider artist and visionary Luigi Serafini, who presents an unusual intervention in the form of a signage monument entitled Vietato vietare (“Forbidden to forbid”), and Bohemian designer Boris Sipek.
