Assouline Milan Chic

A unique skyline is emerging in northern Italy, combining the aesthetics of history and tradition with the innovations of modernity. Milan reveals itself through Stefano Boeri's Vertical Forest and Rem Koolhaas's Fondazione Prada, along with Milan's imposing cathedral and the great iron and glass dome of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. But the true essence of the metropolis is hidden behind the facades of its landmark buildings. Whether it is the interior creations on display at the lavish design fairs or Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, The Last Supper, housed in Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan needs a local guide to understand all its secrets and treasures. Author Massimo Nava and photographer Oberto Gili are at your service.
Milan's splendour is a reflection of its inhabitants: the designers, architects, artists and restaurateurs who bring their own style to the city. In Milan Chic, readers are taken on an intimate tour, stopping at the homes of sought-after designers, the studios of gifted artists and the headquarters of leading architects. This book illustrates the allure of this elegant industrial and cultural centre.
