“SoundSpline” is many different things: a futuristic high-tech sculpture, with classic but also pop lines. It is a structure that goes up, and as it goes up, it wraps around itself. It is an architecture that looks to nature, and is inspired by the spirals of the human ear.

From the table set with flowers and floating clouds of the last edition to many different tables, each conceived by one artist of the collective Food Design Stories and united, once again, by the intersection of ethics and beauty.

Massimiliano Mandarini returns to imagine the green future of architecture, once again in a different and original way, with Jlenia Poloni designer and Creative Italy Lab. After the success of the biophilic veranda of the last edition, this year’s project, “Unique Design For Planet”, is a smog-eating fabric installation, where visitors can enter to discover a world between nature and technology.

Who better than important design schools, becoming increasingly higher in the rankings of the best universities in the world, can make an hypothesis about the future? We discover it with the Istituto Marangoni • the School of Design in Milan which offers us a tactile experience to reconnect with the real world through the virtual. The Third Floor Collective group puts it into practice with the proposal of students from the Royal College of Art in London and their visionary objects. The project of the ISIA Firenze imagines what’s next in a series of projects in which the students under the guidance of the architect Mirko Tattatarini have imagined a second life of armchairs made by Mirabili Design, assuming their transformation and a reuse after the exhaustion of the first function for which they were purchased. Master’s students are also involved in Superdesign 2023 Art and Design Management proposed by the LUM University of Bari- Rome-Milan with the new Superstudio Academy: they have been invited to imagine the 2024 edition of the event.
