The long-standing link between alcohol and design is fully exhibited at the museum Veuve Clicquot erected in an enclosed bridge crossing a people-packed street in the Zona Tortona. On display, new promotional works by Tom Dixon (ball-shaped light), 5.5 Designers (brick-like champagne shelf) and Front Design (wooden Veuve Clicquot boxes arranged into seating). When that distinctive clementine color gets to you, walk a few blocks to the Veuve Clicquot Lounge designed by Adam Tihany and knock one back to honor the great unknown designers.
