The very best previews of the Milan Fuorisalone 2019 handpicked by ITALIANBARK

The top things to see this year in the Brera Design District at Fuorisalone in Milano

The Milan Fuorisalone is the set of events distributed in different areas of Milan on the same days when the Salone Internazionale del Mobile takes place. Brera Design District, this year at its 9th edition, at present, is the most important district promoting design in Italy and it’s located in the heart of Milan Fuorisalone. This year will be the 10th anniversary of the Brera Design District and the calendar is filled with events and installations. The Brera Design Week will start on Monday the 8th of April (instead of the 9th, as for all other districts and for Salone del Mobile).

This district has always been one of my must-sees: this is where you can find the top brands and the news both of Italian and Scandinavian design, plus several events and the most interesting installations. Let’s see more in detail what are the previews for the 2019 edition of Brera Design District.

Brera Design District 2019 Previews | Anteprime Fuorisalone 2019

“Design Your Life”is the title of this edition of Brera Design District, that will be focused around sustainability. How can design help us to live a more sustainable life? This year’s ambassadors are also relevant personalities in the topics of sustainability and circular design, as for example  Mario Cucinella, Aldo Cibic, Daniel and Markus Freitag.

Among the special projects, MateriAttiva is the project by SOS School of Sustainability curated by Mario Cucinella Architects and Iris Ceramica Group: in continuity on the path started in Bologna with “Pollution 2018”, the project is a multi-sensory experience guiding visitors through a space that evokes a new deal between man and nature. Another project involving students (but this time by Politecnico Milano) will be Pratofiorito, a temporary garden designed by architect Davide Fabio Colaci for Eataly Smeraldo.

But there will be much more to see at Brera this year: let’s see together a selection between the 210 events and 395 exhibitors of this edition!

Brera Design District 2018 Previews | Anteprime Fuorisalone 2018

“Be Human: designing with empathy” is the theme for the 2018 Brera Design District edition.

Empathy is the ability to put oneself in someone else’s shoes and understand his/her needs. In design, this means creating solutions by thinking about the real needs of people. If in design empathy is the starting point, emotions are the result of it. This year ambassadors of Brera Design District are all talents who believe in the emotional side of design: two female designers, Cristina Celestino and Elena Salmistraro, and Daniele Lago, founder of the Appartamento Lago in Brera in 2009.

“Be Human: progettare con empatia” è il tema dell’edizione 2018 del Brera Design District.

L’empatia è la capacità di mettersi nei panni di qualcun altro e capirne i bisogni. Nel design, ciò significa creare soluzioni pensando alle reali necessità delle persone. Se nel design l’empatia è il punto di partenza, le emozioni ne sono il risultato. Quest’anno gli ambasciatori del Brera Design District sono tutti talenti che credono nel lato emozionale del design: due designer donne, Cristina Celestino ed Elena Salmistraro, e Daniele Lago, fondatore dell’Appartamento Lago di Brera nel 2009.
