Unavoidable staging point for the Fuorisalone and reference point for enthusiasts and design professionals, the Spazio Rossana Orlandi opens for a new challenge at EXPO. The enthusiasm of the talent scout Rossana Orlandi (she was the launch, among others, namely, Piet Hein Eek, Nacho Carbonel and Nika Zupanc) joins that of the chef Marta Pulini (already owner of the Franceschetta and catering Bi Ben Dum) in a shared adventure: that of the temporary restaurant Marta, open from March to the end of October.
The restaurant occupies a space adjacent to the gallery, designed by Paola Navone and furnished by the same Rossana Orlandi with a mix of vintage pieces and production furniture.
Customers can choose whether to order ‘a la carte’ or opt for the tasting menu. The chef Pulini, who has said: “My kitchen has roots in the house”, offers Emilian cuisine in small portions, in which the individual ingredients are easily recognizable. Served twice a week is also the traditional ‘carrello dei bolliti’ (an assortment of boiled meats with sauces). The Marta is cosy and pleasant, a heartwarming place to discover with joy and where one does not have to raise one’s voice to get noticed. Truly adorable.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
