The first of the series in Made in Italy at Design Museum looks at the context of Italian design, and questions the role of the manufacturer, designer and the consumer, and the relationship each has with the other.
Wednesday 10th May - Milan Design City
For nearly 50 years the Milan International Furniture Fair has been a Mecca for designers from all over the world, coming together to promote and explore contemporary design. This talk asks how the event is a focus for the Italian design scene, and looks at the kind of role the fair has in promoting new designers and designs.
Thursday 20th May - The Future
The very last in the series of Made in Italy at Design Museum celebrates the last half century of Italian design and looks to the future for new and radical ideas. The global importance of Italy in the design scene will also be discussed.
