Looking Ahead: this was the general theme conceived, months back, to indicate the direction of the next edition of Superstudio’s Superdesign Show during Design Week 2022. As if to distance us from the convictions of many: “Everything will return as before” and predicting that the future will actually be reformulated in all of its expressions, we’ve invited interesting designers and companies to attend our event and align with our glimpsing “beyond”. To be able to explore unknown territory, to anticipate needs and trends, translate the word “sustainability” – the common term connecting everything – into concrete proposals, and redesign our lives which have become unexpectedly more complicated... 

The occasion of Design Week 2022, assigned by the pandemic to this year’s anomalous date, rendered even more uncertain by the war in Ukraine, makes the date with design a moment of optimism which aims to repair the social, commercial and productive fabric in a positive manner. The latest edition of Superdesign confirms the creative direction of Gisella Borioli and the art direction of Giulio Cappellini, who have made the Superdesign Show prestigious and unmissable ever since the first edition in 2000, and all of its iterations in the years following...

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...

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...

How to continue to benefit from the great masterpieces of the past without leaving any pollutant trace? 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...
