Milan Design Week is rarely just about discovering designs, but it's how we experience them. Design platform Alcova is a case in point. The showcase opened its seventh edition this week in Milan, following the first iteration across the pond in Miami in December. Followers of Alcova are always wondering where the next location for the exhibition will be, and earlier this year, founders Valentina Ciuffi and Joseph Grima announced they had decided to venture outside of the city centre to Villa Bagatti Valsecchi and Villa Borsani – two architectural landmarks in the area of Varedo.
