Shopping passions Clio Calvi Rudy VolpiTheoretically speaking it should be only a second-hand shop, dealing with objects to be sold again. As a matter of fact it's a proper design and art gallery, its store always lively and top-notch: Branzi, Sottsass, Nanda Vigo. Some say it's simply the best shop in Milan.
Lanza FabrianoWatermarks were invented in Fabriano, an Italian town in the Marches region where paper-making dates back to the 13th century. This more recent shop sells finest-quality paper, refined paper objects, and writing accessories.
.:. The town itself belongs to the list of the Unesco Creative Cities, and is officially considered "a city of painters, blacksmiths and master paper makers (Mastri chartai)".
Ginori 1735The Manifattura di Doccia, established by Marquis Carlo Ginori in the early 18th century, is still based in Tuscany, and keep producing very fine porcelain. More outstanding lines for the home have been added over time.
.:. The company was particularly successful when, from 1923 to 1933, the Milanese architect and designer Gio Ponti was its art director. Several of those pieces are still produced.
Moroni GommaBorn as a technical store for rubber (gomma) and waterproof clothing – but the original premises in the Paolo Sarpi district have closed – it is now a sort of small, well kept department store for interior design objects.
