Meta in Milan
After 3 years of intensive preparation, Meta’s first collection included pieces from Asymptote, BarberOsgerby, Tord Boontje, Matali Crasset and Wales & Wales. The new company is part of Mallett, one of the world’s pre-eminent antique houses in the world and was created in conjunction with Louise-Anne Comeau and Geoffrey Monge who acted as creative consultants. The installation in Milan was curated by Jules Wright, creator and director of The Wapping Project. Meta was THE talking point of Milan this year with the Fig Leaf cabinet done by Tord Boontje mesmerising thousands who came to the installation in Zona Tortona, as they appreciated the 616 individually hand- painted enamel leaves.
