Located at via Scaldasole 7 in a historic 16th-century monastery, Six Project is a multidisciplinary venue in Milan that integrates a design gallery, bistrot, and green design boutique. The space, designed by Mauro Orlandelli of Forest Design, boasts a courtyard filled with tropical plants and original flooring. Contributions from art director Samuele Savio and architects David Lopez Quincoces and Fanny Bauer Grung enhance its appeal. The gallery features distinctive design items, such as Vietnamese vases and furniture by Gabriella Crespi and Giò Ponti. The bistrot, Sixième, established by Sergio Carnevale and Nic Cester, serves a seasonal menu. Floral arrangements and limited-edition products are offered by Irene Cuzzaniti's green design studio. The term Six symbolizes the smallest perfect number.
