"Admiring the scenery of the 'Design Week' from the highest point in Milan. A unique and unrepeatable opportunity that only the Lombardy Region can offer with the Belvedere on the 39th floor."

Exceptionally, during the week, there will be free openings of the 'Silvio Berlusconi' Belvedere (with prior registration at this link) to appreciate from above the opportunities offered by the Fuorisalone.

Lombardy as a protagonist in design.

Present at the ribbon-cutting of 'Oasi Life Experience' were also the regional councilor for Design and Tourism, Barbara Mazzali, and the councilor for Culture, Francesca Caruso.

Mazzali wanted to highlight "the commitment and attention that the Region places towards those who, with professionalism and dedication, work in this sector." "A sector," Mazzali added, "that sees Lombardy as an absolute protagonist on an international level thanks to the creativity of top-level companies and artisans."

‘Oasi Life Experience’ includes, in addition to the heart of the square, conferences on ecology, design, and economics.

The program features participation from professors from the Politecnico di Milano, IULM University, industry professionals, and MUSE (Museum of Science) of Trento, with discussions on the relationship between science and sustainable design.

There will also be the ‘Design Aperitif,’ with networking moments and meetings between industry professionals and the public of design enthusiasts.

Design for the Little Ones

A special ‘Area Kids’ has also been inaugurated, entirely designed and dedicated to children, with a focus on sustainability.

This is an interactive installation for children made with recycled materials, located in Piazzetta Galvani.

The ‘Art and Design’ Exhibition

During Design Week, art meets design at Spazio IsolaSET (on Via Galvani side) with the exhibition ‘Art and Design, Creativity in Power’, where visitors will be able to admire works by Fortunato Depero, Bruno Munari, Giacomo Balla, Piero Gilardi, Enzo Mari, Marcello Morandini, and design objects by Castiglioni, Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass, and creations by Gaetano Pesce.

Design and Culture: A Winning Combination

“Design and culture,” commented Councillor Francesca Caruso, “is a combination that merges into a unique entity that finds full expression in Lombardy. This exhibition highlights how these two components can create truly exceptional and, in some cases, unique ‘final products.’”
