Legendary 10 Corso Como, the Milanese concept store founded little over thirty years ago by the equally legendary Carla Sozzani, has raised its profile in the Lombardian capital with a pop-up store at Stazione Milano Centrale. Needless to say, it’s Milan Fashion Week, and 10 Corso Como goes the extra yard, reaching out to the 350,000 daily commuters with a curated selection of offerings. Mind you, the store has catered to travellers since it first opened its doors, so the ephemeral retail space very much spawns from a tradition. Situated in the venue’s Galleria dei Mosaici, on the platform level, it’s housed in a glass-encased pavilion marked with the store’s name and logo.
So, what’s in stock? On the shelves of the 10 Corso Como pop-up store shoppers will find various accessories, shopping bags, handbags, trousseau and candles made in collaboration with top Italian and international ateliers, alongside a wide range of Italian delicacies, ranging from with pasta and rice, to olive oil from Liguria and Tuscan gin, all in gift boxes in the store’s signature black and white graphics (open through Oct 30). The newest temporary 10 Corso Como retail space follows pop-ups in Forte dei Marmi in 2022 and at the Forte Village resort on Sardinia earlier this year, and is the starting point of the new 10 Corso Como travel retail division that will focus on new retail projects across the planet.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
