Salone Internazionale del Mobile and Stefano Ricci

I always get hungry very late in the night nowadays, most of the time I can't restrain myself from taking a bite out of something, but today maybe I should. I really should at least finish this entry, and then there's Stefano Ricci's, Frescobaldi's, tomorrow's Monalisa's, next week's four Ferragamo hotels'..... FINISH THIS!
Walking into candyland.
So the furniture showing known as Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan is huge. Not only just the pavilions, there are more big brand outside in the center, but since I was too desperate for a good ice-cream, we gave in to our appetite and missed the best part of the visit... Oh well, we missed toooo much that day, won't hurt too much more just for an ice-cream. So apparently the best part is the New Designers section (which we did not get time to see...so now you just have to look at the crappy stuff... j/k, not necessarily, but definitely not the most innovative). Some names such as Kartell, Moroso, Porro etc.

Might as well squeeze Stefano Ricci into this. No disrespect intended.
So we were in this store in the center of Florence the other day, one of 19 stores in the whole wide world, where they have riches from around the globe flying in just to spend millions of euros in one day. With one of his beautiful sons (this one is said to be quite a charmer...), talking about the general, since we already met once at Pitti Uomo, there really isn't much new stuff going on. Of course, the brand is awesome and the company is great. What I liked most what how Mr Ricci incorporated his love for hunting into the interior design and decorations. You could see soo many emblems of wild animals, and you would definitely not miss the green grass elephant right in the middle of the room, it's no less stunning than one that's pink.
