Designers about Ventura Lambrate
''I would like to express my happiness of being here at Ventura Lambrate 2012, because I love this area. In 2011 I came for the first time and I immediately fell in love with this area. It felt really well, I honestly think I belong much more in this type of area than on the fair, especially because it is a place where there is much more space for research and conversation.'' - Jaime Hayon
''For us it was our very first fair and collection, so we didn’t know what to expect at all. To be concrete, taking part in Ventura Lambrate 2012 brought us features in several magazines, blogs and on TV, and 2 large retailers that would like to sell our products. The overall experience of taking part in Ventura Lambrate has been wonderful and encouraging.'' - Fred & Juul
''I think there’s a shift going on in Milan for the design week, the classic area of the cool and new used to be Zona Tortona but all the more edgy, interesting and young design has moved over here to Lambrate.” […] “It’s a beautiful area; it got amazing architecture with really beautiful spaces. Now all the cool designers are here, so it’s a very good spot to be!''- Moritz Waldemeyer.

"I really enjoyed Ventura Lambrate this year (2012). The whole area was well-curated and vibrant. It's definitely the most interesting design district in Milan." - Marcus Fairs, editor-in-chief at Dezeen
''You don’t have to be Hannibal Lecter to appreciate that a gut feeling goes well with a trained eye. And for Margo Konings and Margriet Vollenberg of the self-explanatory Organisation in Design, this mix of intuition and experience is a way of making sure that Ventura Lambrate – the project they launched in Milan during the FuoriSalone in 2010 – stays on course.''- DAMn Magazine
