| the clever Rolf Sachs fused his normal strange hybrid of technology and art with the mechanism of the human body at the beautiful Studio Giangaleazzo Visconti.

 |
| I love typography and I love neon... put them together and what do you get? You get... the Kartell stand at this years Salone |
 |

| Did you have a spirograph set when you were little? as if you did and you loved it - then you will love this just as much, if not more. "Drawing machine" by Eske Rex, at Mindcraft11, is a thing of magic and beauty. It lulls you into a trance as you watch the pen, lead by pendulums and weights slowly dance in loops across the paper I always seemed to slip and ruin my spirogragh drawings just at the last minute, this produces drawings of a scale and majesty that mesmorise the mind |
