This year we return to the theme of women’s creativity: 12 + 21 authors present their “creative self-portrait” in the language that is most natural to them, the design and ideas that enrich our everyday environments...
For archistar Paola Navone is ‘Poetry House’, a house for imagination that is all to be imagined, on the ceramic rugs by ABK Ceramiche; for the award-winning Ilaria Marelli is the bench-fire pit for Steeles: minimalist and elegant design, with a surface perforated by endless holes to suggest an interplay between fullness and emptiness. For the 21 artists and artisans and the three curators Caterina Misuraca, Sandra Faggiano e Valentina Martin of the Food Design Stories group is the set table, both ethical concerning the materials and process, and aesthetical for the flowers and clouds fluctuating mid-air. Along them, in a sort of design mirror that confronts each author with her latest creation, Ana Marìa Gomez, Colombian designer, who with “Oruga” proposes furniture nomadism...
Woo, this was an unexpected participation, sparked by the personal recommendation of designer Kateryna Sokolova from NOOM. This collection was born under the shells, with its distinctive unusual lines and shapes making it appear endless, overcoming the object and its very function...
February 24. The war hits Ukraine: "Russian rockets struck our cities. We fled from explosions and anti-aircraft sirens, returning to the shelters in our neighbourhood that had been closed for decades. After a few weeks dominated by the only fear of not staying alive, we decided not to pause our lives. So our team gathered in the lab as usual, which fortunately was not damaged...

This is the big question posed by Gianluca Cristoni’s Fondazione Biohabitat together with Latifolia, Fima Caro Frattini, Battiloro Handpan and Serralunga in a project by Davide Vercelli that questions a new dimension of water, also raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity, while spreading the culture of green throughout the city, which has always been the Fondazione’s mission...
A collection that combines tradition and innovation, technology and craftsmanship, “Con le Mani” is just the latest proposal by Paolelli Garden, a historical company from Tuscia, having produced outdoor craft-workpieces since the 70s...
From the artistic objects of the beginning, which were made in cement-marble, the production has grown into furniture pieces and objects made from traditional materials such as concrete and clay to innovative ones such as "cementeco" and fiber", for example "Con le mani", a project by Studio Adolini. The focus on surfaces and colors leads to a series of pure and essential shapes, classic and endless objects, characterized by a strong tailoring quality. A sign of authorship and the mastery of the handmade is evident in their work...
“Rays of light” is the contorted yet suggestive tangle of lights that Adriana Lohmann in collaboration with Giò Colonna Romano have conceived for a huge hall of via Tortona...
The 12 maxi light elements ascending from land to the sky to shape a light portal make the new collection of the Slim lamps by KLAKdesign. Their irregular and asymmetrical weaving stands for the complexity of our different life paths, opening up passages and new guidance that unfold under beneficial rays of a distinct, intense, non-dazzling light...
Beautiful enough to act as an invitation to enter the depths of the Superdesign Show, the bathroom by Flaminia resembles a living room where we can spend time and take care of ourselves. Designed by Giulio Cappellini and Astra are the silver-black sanitary by Flaminia, the glazed film in gres from Mirage, and other pieces of artwork. The environment was recreated in the art.box, the window facing the street of Superstudio Più 27, via Tortona, where generally artworks and art items are displayed during internal exhibitions.
