milan 2009/

I was cleaning my desk today and found this drawing made by new-york based designer stephen burks. he was responsible for the m’afrique exhibition from moroso at milan design week.

It was obviously fun to talk to stephen but unfortunately too may people wanted to talk to mr. readymadeprojects that evening. nevertheless he quickly draw me, instead of doing the drawn interview. I was sitting in one of his chairs - a re-upholstered moroso’s signature piece in fabrics that he and patrizia moroso, art director of Italian upholstery manufacturer moroso, found on their trips to senegal.
