Designer, painter and illustrator for leading companies operating in very diverse environments and industries, Elena Salmistraro has a multifaceted personality.

She used her unmistakable trait to portray the way she sees Vitra and to explore the topic of Urban Living – this year’s Home Stories for Spring theme– by playing with the Colour& Material Library of the Swiss company and developing the interior design of an exquisite location such as the historic furniture showroom Spotti Milano. 

The result is intense, rich of hues, signs and references, which are not mere cultural hints, but rather a contemporary reinterpretation, a radical and instinctive experiment. Milan enters our living spaces, there is no inside or outside, there is no difference or barrier between home and the city: it is a unique environment, which represents and unites all its residents. 

The orange sunsets of Milan's most enchanting season transform themselves into o gradient effect on the walls, declaring o never-ending desire for freedom and color. The floors hint at the magnificent entrances of the buildings of Milan, preserving their geometries and decors, but using colors to convert the typical "Palladiano" and resulting in on abstract and very contemporary work. 

The experiment is repeated in the four living, dining, study and play areas, which blend together perfectly to generate o new interior concept which is fresh, lively and never boring, just like the city that is being represented.
