Posted by: Dario Negri

The Alto Adige is a unique and characteristic territory, a connecting link suspended between tradition and future, between Mediterranean and Middle-European culture, has produced top contemporary sensitive designers such as Matteo Thun and Martino Gamper, whereas among from Alto Adige there are companies rotating around traditions and ancestral materials such as iron, rock and wood skilfully transformed into contemporary and innovative products by a sharp generation of new entrepreneurs.  

Starting from this, Confartigianato Imprese Bolzano, in the person of Martin Haller - President IVH-Apa has supported the project ´Fingerprint Südtirol – Alto Adige: ten selected companies who will introduce in a preview at Superdesign Show the result of the combination between high mastery, top level craftsmanship and contemporary design.

An eye to the future to reflect on the spirit of the time:  art and design blend in the profession.
It is the first time that a group of companies from Alto Adige presents a collective project at Superdesign Show, offering the opportunity of a multi-directional experience:  in addition to discovering various products exhibited by companies, visitors will have the opportunity to interact with the cultural background of the region getting to know each artisan entities up close.
With the supervision by Studio Oberhauser, to characterise the exhibiting area and to gather entities in one concept, the “Fingerprint” symbol has been chosen. The design of the Alto Adige will once again cut out an important space in the international overview.
