Many of Milan’s landmarks, including the state university, were used as gallery spaces.

Hermès enlisted set designer Charlotte Macaux Perelman to create five “houses,” which revealed the company’s latest tableware designs and furnishings.

*Top,* Hermès’s geometrically painted walls were anchored in a bed of orange sand; *above,* the Sillage d’Hermès chair by Studio Mumbai.

*Be Water,* an installation created by Maurizio Cattelan, took over the aquatics area at the University of Milan.

Missoni’s zigzagged seating enjoys enduring popularity.

*Top,* Sam Baron reimagined Dior’s Medallion chair to create a bench, swing, and even a seesaw; *above,* the French fashion house enlisted 17 designers to reimagine its signature seat, which is a streamlined take on a traditional Louis XVI dining chair.

Ma Yansong’s interpretation of Dior’s Medallion chair.

An inspired take on the home bar from Armani/Casa.

Cathedral-shaped chairs from Savio Firmino.

Charlotte Perriand’s “petit bureau en forme libre” desk, on offer from Cassina.

*Top,* *A Beach in the Baroque,* an installation by Portuguese architect Aires Mateus at Palazzo Litta; *above,* chairs at Novita Home’s exhibition at Fiera Milano.

Memorial lights honor the place where the Twin Towers once stood as the Statue of Liberty looks on.

A first responder rests amid the rubble.

Workers position a drill several times their height into the ground.

When you’re building a 94-story tower, much of the work is done in the air.

The spire of the finished World Trade Center, one of the 10 tallest buildings in the world.
