MDW (The Milan Design Week) seems to be ever-growing. Every year, more talent appears, more venues, more exhibitions. It is without a doubt the most popular celebration of style, innovation and creativity, held annually. But also, it has become increasingly difficult, to navigate it in its entirety.

There are numerous exhibitions and installations, events and pop-ups, held anywhere, from galleries to buildings that have fallen in disrepair, from palazzos, to gardens and plazas.

Here are some of the highlights, of this year’s Milan Design Week.
