Milan Design Week is so close, and us here at Design Limited Edition are very excited about this exclusive design event, and everything it entails!
Today we bring you a look at the Isola Design District, a territorial marketing project created by Blank, a young Milan-based creative agency, with the aim to give visibility to emerging international designers and local artisans, within one of the most lively neighbourhoods of Milan: Isola.
The event is organised every year during Milan Design Week, in collaboration with 24PR&Events and Emilio Lonardo, and involves the entire area with design exhibitions, installations, workshops and talks, that take place within hidden locations, galleries and private courtyards.
Let’s discover some of the most exciting events happening there during Milan Design Week!
“Ocean Drive” by April Key
April Key will present her first lighting collection Ocean Drive, a fusion between Art Deco architecture, lighting and sculptures. The exhibition will host ten of her pieces that are made out of laser cut plexiglass, while the neon pieces are handcrafted by Turkish artisans.
Address: Via Cola Montano 8
Campidarte by Giorgio Deplano
This project’s aim is to create furniture products with a modern and colourful style, which only reveal a more careful look at their composition, given by the reuse of abandoned industrial materials and components.
Address: via De Castillia, 26
DesignByThem
As part of the Milan Design Week 2019, the Australian design house will be showcasing over 30 of their signature pieces as well as the international debut of a new furniture collaboration between DesignByThem founders/designers Sarah Gibson and Nicholas Karlovasitis and Australian fashion designer Dion Lee.
Address: via Cola Montano, 8
Francesco Tramontano
Francesco Tramontano’s golden, silver and brass jewellery are strictly handmade. Every piece, different from the other, wants to tell the story of the Neapolitan and Mediterranean culture.
Address: via Pastrengo, 21
Hartwerp
Hartwerp‘s work goes beyond functionality and should be labelled sculptural work or installation art rather than furniture.
Address: via De Castillia, 26
If you want to discover young designers and new design brands, the Isola Design District is the right place to be!
