On Saturday 12 April at 12.15 p.m., an international online auction will be held at the Arena Drafting Futures designed by Formafantastama (Pavilion 14), which is hosting the Salone 2025’s dense cultural program, with the support of Finarte.
The lots put up for bidding will be objects that bring more than just a signature or a form; they are fragments of stories, the visions of those who conceived them by putting life at the center. An extraordinary opportunity for all enthusiasts to try to gain one of the exclusive design objects made available by the leading brands in the sector, which have chosen to support the Fondazione AIRC to contribute to the growth and training of many young talents in cancer research.
