TIP: An overscaled decorative chandelier in a room always creates much more drama, while a chandelier that's too small won't have impact.
The great sheds of the Arsenale traditionally provide room for all sorts of overscaled, over-ambitious and over here conceits, and this year you could cherry pick from Coop Himmelb(l)au inflatables, Greg Lynn's recycled plastic toys, Barkow Leibinger's laser-cut tubes, Atelier Bow-Wow's cute 'Furnivehicles' (a cross between vehicles and furniture), Massimiliano Fuksas' acid green peep show and Nigel Coates' frankly libidinous 'Hypnerotosphere'.
