In the old industrial complex ANSALDO one of the first exhibitions outside the Milano Fair took place in 1988. Today this area in Milan is known as Zona Tortona. This was an initiative of NOTO / ZEUS Milano who invited many European designers to show new products. The presentation of Robert Wettstein was a real esspresso bar with his new furniture and his own sound, composed by Alexa Hill, N.Y.C. Please listen to the soundcloud file below. Photos R. Wettstein,
