Working out of a Suitcase
London, February 9, 2007
Thirteen product designers from Royal College of Art are landing in Milan to declare their excess baggage at the 2007 Salone.
Using luggage as an exhibition space, they will unpack personal reactions, manifestos and mayhem in a mobile experiment across the city.
Expect ad-hoc and transient performances at targeted fair venues throughout the duration of the Salone, leaving only a digital trace in their wake.
Daily timetables will be available online at the designers’ blog at www.platform8.blogspot.com

Silvio Berlusconi, who resigned as Prime Minister in May, is Italy’s richest man, estimated to be worth $12bn (£7bn).
For Mr Berlusconi’s investment company controls Italy’s three biggest private television stations. And his appointees run the public ones.
Opponents complained that an Italian voter could not escape blanket coverage favourable to Mr Berlusconi.
