Ready To Hang Makes Its European Debut at Milan Design Week
Ready To Hang (RTH), the New York-based design studio known for its sculptural mirrors, brings its signature aesthetic to Milan Design Week 2025 with two standout installations, marking its first-ever presence in the city.The first is a playful pop-up at Parrucchiere, a traditional hair salon in the heart of the Porta Venezia district. In collaboration with Convey, the installation places RTH’s contemporary mirrors within the salon’s nostalgic setting, creating a dialogue between vintage charm and modern design. Highlights include the "Gotchi" Mirror in chrome, a half-sphere 3D mirror with an indented square center and the "Squeeze" Mirror in Milano, which appears to be pinched in the middle by bright green orbs. These contemporary touches bring a vibrant, unexpected twist to the retro space. On April 10, the pop-up will also host a Free Haircut Day, offering complimentary cuts as part of the immersive design experience.RTH’s second installation, Between Seeing, is on view at Alcova and offers a more introspective exploration of form and perception. Presented in partnership with Le Labo and Claire Marie Astruc, the site-specific installation leads visitors through a surreal landscape of suspended fabric, glass and mirrors. The work delves into themes of presence, illusion and the act of seeing itself. The collection features existing RTH mirror models - "Big Squeeze," "Clasp," "Bezel" and Puffer - reimagined in new colorways, alongside standout pieces like the Jelly Mirror, a round design framed by a translucent, jelly-like rim.Both installations will be open to the public throughout Milan Design Week, from April 15 to 21.ParrucchierePorta VeneziaVia Rosolino Pilo, 820129 Milano, ItalyAlcovaVilla Bagatti ValsacchiScuderie, Space BS2Via Vittorio Emanuele II, 4820814 Varedo, ItalyClick here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
