- In Milan's Piazza dei Mercanti—an important marketplace since the Middle Ages—stands the Lipparini-designed wholesale showroom of furniture maker Saporiti Italia. Half a world away, in Osaka, Japan, Saporiti displays its wares in another space envisioned and realized by Lipparini. In both venues, stunning physical and lighting arrangements evocative of avant-garde theatrical design create an unforgettable impression.
The mix of Oriental and Occidental elements at each location forge a bridge between these distant worlds.
