Bodging Milano.
A special adventure for Fuori Salone 2010.
From 30th March to April 5th, 10 designers are going back to the furniture, living for a week in the woods of deepest Herefordshire. With the help of Gudrun Leitz and her assistant Paul, each will make a greenwood chair in Gudrun’s outdoor workshop.

Dish of the day

Welcome to the very first Designersblock Dish of the day, an occasional column celebrating the locality and giving thanks for what’s on our plates.

A contemporary take on the classic Spanish Fabbada.
