PADIGLIONEITALIA is a portrait of contemporary Italian design that defines the varied creative borders of the authors involved narrating stories which, even though expressed in diverse manners, have a distinctive common ground. A dialogue of sorts which breaks the stereotypes of fixed presentations proposing works based on meticulous research with a particular attention to quality issues. The first event by PADIGLIONEITALIA showcased new works by nine upcoming Italian design studios in Zona Lambrate during Milan Design Week 2012.
