Impossibly stacked stone spires, on-site 3D printing, and more of the revelatory objects by emerging designers that stopped us in our tracks at this year's fair.<\/p>\n

For the second year, Alcova, the fair focused on emerging designers that runs in tandem with Salone del Mobile, has set up shop at multiple venues in Varedo, Italy\u2014about 15 kilometers north of Milan. This year, in addition to the 1940s modern Villa Borsani and the beautifully crumbling Villa Bagatti Valsecchi, Alcova has added a stunning abandoned factory and disused greenhouses.<\/p>\n

All of the sites offer unconventional yet fitting backdrops for the experimental works on display. Touring the press preview with photographer Olga Mai, we were struck by the range of textures, materials, and ideas\u2014from glazed lava and reappropriated wood to deeply conceptual and more socially charged installations.<\/p>\n

While this was my first in-person visit, I sensed a slight tonal shift from years past. If you enter this edition of the fair thinking you\u2019ll encounter only the weirdest of the weird, you\u2019ll be surprised to discover plenty of minimalist (though forward-thinking) designs sprinkled throughout the showcase. Still, it\u2019s pretty clear\u2014at Alcova, creative risk certainly takes center stage.<\/p>\n

Below, you\u2019ll find a few of what we found to be this year\u2019s highlights. By transforming spaces\u2014whether revered or forgotten\u2014into moments of radical expression, each of them offers a delightful and thought-provoking experience. They remind us that many of today\u2019s most exciting designs are made, and shown, on the fringe.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
