The Garden of Bloom, Markus Benesch blooms at Vivaio Riva, Milan.

'Morning Glory' installation

There is always something new at the Vivaio Riva in Milan. It's not just the flowers that change along the seasons, but the different voices that echo in this magic garden nested in the center of Milan. The refined flowers of one of the oldest nursery in town, in fact, frame exhibitions, concerts, talks and birthday parties, orchid enthusiasts, school children and the unusual sound of chirping birds. 

'Bricky seeds'

During the International Design Week, for the FuoriSalone, Vivaio Riva hosted the new furniture and wallpaper collection created by the German industrial and interior designer Markus Benesch: 'Brickcolletion'. The colored pattern, inspired by the children's building blocks, was repeated on tables, furniture and home accessories. The sequence of lively colors was irresistible, the smooth surfaces inviting.

The regular squares captured the joy of the spring blooms and returned it through colors, forms and light. A silent but powerful language that, for a while, made me forget the flowers.
