Italian for Design in Milan

When it comes to design, Milan is undoubtedly the international capital. The city is home to furniture companies, creatives, and ateliers where new ideas are born and brought to life. This program tells the story of Italian design, which emerged after World War II and was made unforgettable by figures like Albini, Castiglioni, Ponti, and Colombo, who found fertile ground in Milan for their ideas. With the “Design On-the-Go” seminar, you’ll get an up-close look at a sector that has revolutionized and continues to influence global trends.
