Baby Pit Stop is a pit stop area in shops, public spaces and pharmacies where a mum can freely breast-feed and change her baby. Promoted by ASL Milano, UNICEF and Baby Consumers, Baby Pit Stop is a network in Milan made of private structures and public commercial spaces (shops, local ASL spaces, drugstores…) where it’s possible to find a comfortable chair for mums, a changing table for babies and, if possible, a play area for sisters and brothers. Mums can also fi nd leafl efts about breast-feeding produced by ASL Milano and by UNICEF. You can find the map of supporting spaces here >> www.babypitstop.it/mappa-baby-pit-stop.
MyHoming supports the project because breast-feeding is a right for all mothers and children and should be a natural, public practice. You probably know that Angela, our co-founder, has just gave birth to Anita, so she takes particularly care of this deal.
Monforte (digital communication agency based in Milan) has just launched a design call for ideas to create a Collaborative Work Environment. Monforte asks to contribute with projects, drawings, prototypes, or even just ideas, to the creation of A Great Collaborative Work Environment. If you want to take part to the project, you can also help Monforte to create an UfficioManifesto, to keep track of all the tags, principles and keywords that make of a Workplace a Great Work Environment.
The idea of the call born because Monforte team needed more space, more flexibility, more chances for creativity to express, competences to get together, people to collaborate in the most effective and pleasant way. So their big, sunny apartment, with more separated rooms, was simply not suitable anymore to the new way to work. In order to exploit their potential, and make everyone in the office comfortable with his/her role and tasks, Monforte needs now the possibility to host more functions in the same space.
Monforte is moving to a new office within March 20th, in a temporary setup that Lago is contributing to create. They will start living in that office, waiting to complete it with your suggestions. Check the dedicated page and take part to the call; people will be able to like your project and share it with friends. All projects, ideas and proposals will be evaluated by a Scientific Committee (our co-founder Angela Ponzini will be part of it!). The nine selected winners will join Monforte team during the days of Fuorisalone; their works will be shown to the public and winners will also partecipate to Collaborative Talks, open to public and to other designers, with the purpose of exploring all the power of the ideas submitted. Three out of the nine selected will then be invited to further exploit the concepts presented, and helped financially and with substantial networking and communication actions to make their idea real and use Monforte as an important Case History.
Technical Partners of Ufficio Manifesto are Lago S.p.A, Uuushh, Impact Hub and Barazza Srl.
Ferramenta Pietro Viganò @ Via Montevideo 8 in Milan
SFUSO and Raminga invites designers, architects, makers, craftsmen, graphic designers, students and professionals to present their work during Salone del Mobile 2014 from April 8th to 13th, 2013, inside the spaces offered by Ferramenta Pietro Viganò, an historical workshop located since 1927 in the core of the Tortona Design District.
Aim of Retrobottega is to investigate possible responses in order to survive contemporaneity; given certainties, as livable spaces, wealth, easy access to goods and services, or the right to a satisfying sociality are nowadays constricted by the insatiable intrusiveness of necessity. In such a context the designer should go back to the immediacy of necessary things, things that do not need any justification, things that are made for life.
Through Retrobottega, SFUSO wants to develop the survival issue as a spatial, economical and social fact. They’re looking for survival devices and practices that face the problem in an innovative way: from systems for food and energy production to mobility devices, from spatial construction practices to tools and object for living, up to new instruments for the everyday life. A singular synergy between design culture, practical know-how, modern resources offered by new technologies, together with traditional manufacturing, a DIY attitude and the ability to work as wasteless as possible must be the key factor of these researches.
Through Retrobottega, SFUSO wants to investigate how this paradigm could change the perspective in the world of design, production and distribution of goods, rediscovering a way people could access goods and resources and redefining a concept of Surviving as not a purely biological fact.
