When I visited Milan earlier this year, immersed in the city's sprawling design week festivities, I left with one major takeaway: interior design is an act of theater.
Two of the standout installations this year took their inspiration from film and stage. FormaFantasma’s Staging Modernity quite literally presented this retrospective for Cassina on small stages, with actors playing out scenes of domesticity among the furniture, bringing narrative to what, otherwise, could have been simply a stagnant exhibition.
