Rachel Chudley Interior Design

Before the pandemic/ baby Otis days, Milan design week was the trip I looked forward to every year - a tidal wave of inspiration, I would go for 4 days and be as busy as you can imagine emerging myself in a visual bombardment that feels like the very centre of the design world. This year will be my first visit back for a few years and while I only have 24 hours from when the plane hits tarmac I intend to make the most of that limited time. Planning is everything with a never ending list of must see and experience things to do so here are some gems from my research.

THINGS TO DO IN MILAN

I would normally never leave without a visit to villa Necchi and Fondazione Prada but as I have such little time I will try and resist and find new favourites.
