A supermarket filled with waste products and an overview of Norway's hottest young designers are among design reporter Alice Morby's pick of the best exhibitions at the Ventura Lambrate district during Milan design week last month.
Dezeen was the main media partner for Ventura Lambrate, one of the longest running design districts in Milan's Fuorisalone ? the programme of events that accompany the Salone del Mobile furniture fair.
Located in Lambrate, northeast of the city centre, the district puts a focus on emerging designers and radical ideas. Now in its seventh year, it has become a staple on the design week circuit.
This year the organisers also launched a new district, Ventura Centrale, in abandoned warehouses at Milan Central Station. Dezeen also partnered with this exhibition, which featured a modernist merry-go-round by Lee Broom and totem-like glass lamps by Luca Nichetto. Here's our pick of the best five exhibitions at Ventura Lambrate:

Everything is Connected
This year's exhibition of Norwegian design was curated by designer and interior architect Katrin Greiling, who used the work of 30 designers to showcase the journey from maker to market.
Presented against a calming backdrop of pale blue, separated by ochre-coloured curtains, the show featured geometric lamps by Sverre Uhnger and perfumed objects by Kaja Dahl.
