Maison Moschino
The hotel is located in the old neoclassical railway station on Viale Monte Grappa, 12, that opened in 1840 for the Milan-Monza route. The hotel’s creative direction is led by Rossella Jardini and Moschino’s creative team.
The exterior facades were restructured to be faithful to the original structure, while the interior was completely interpreted in the Moschino style. Divided into four floors, the 65 rooms and junior suites are all different. On the ground floor, the hall and the bar welcome guests into the hotel.
The common thread connecting the rooms is a fairy tale theme. Whimsical and magical elements reminiscent of Enchanted Forests and children's favorites like Alice In Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood and Candyland are the themes of some of the rooms.
The hotel interior, lobby and restaurant reflect Moschino’s distinctive style where the ordinary world is painted with a brush of surrealism.
The hotel also has a restaurant and a spa. The restaurant Clandestino Milano extends from the hall to the terrace, the Culti spa and the gym are located on the lower levels.
The restaurant menu proposes a selection of innovative dishes starting from breakfast: the delicious “Mos kit”, for instance, represents a culinary itinerary. It is offered in a choice of 4, 6 or 8 combination and served in a precious box that humorously reminds of an elegant shoe box. “Mos kit” changes every day according to the seasons and to our chef’s different inspirations.
Irony is the theme that inspires Maison Moschino’s lunch menu and its aperitif, served as a toothbrush with an edible mint and coconut toothpaste and a saké and mint flavored “mouthwash”.
Maison Moschino is centrally located and within easy reach of the transport system. You can get to the nearest underground station, Porta Garibaldi (green line), in just five minutes by foot.

Enzo Mari Autoprogettazione for Artek
all images by juoko lehtola
Having worked on more than 2000 projects which have marked design history, Enzo Mari is probably Italy's most provocative designer. As a social commitment, through developing functional objects, he creates 'products' that celebrate an utopic world and the dignity of not alienated work. As art pieces they are brutally honest and at the same time beautiful to look at. Birgit Lohmann, Designboom's editor in chief, has studied industrial design under tutor Enzo Mari and directly after university has collaborated with him on various design projects for many years. One of her 'masters' favorite projects is his 'Autoprogettazione' series of 1974.
'Sedia 1- chair' is the first object from Mari's thought-provoking project 'Autoprogettazione'
to go into production with Finnish furniture company Artek. The original idea consisted of a series of 'do-it-yourself' instructions on how to construct the various pieces of furniture. Now, Artek offers customers to purchase a set of pre-cut pine wood boards, nails and instructions...
Artek will be celebrating its 75 years of art and technology production with a presentation at Spazio Rossana Orlandi. Meanwhile at the Triennale Museum mari will show a short documentary produced by Artek, which explains the concept behind 'autoprogettazione' and which demonstrates the building steps for 'Sedia 1'.
