Piazza della Scala - Milano
Design Kiosk, a temporary space by DWA Design Studio in collaboration with Corraini Edizioni, will be set up for the third year in Piazza della Scala. Featuring international magazines, small objects and official Salone del Mobile merchandising, created in partnership with K-Way®, the Kiosk hosts a program of talks curated by Reading Room, moderated by its founder Francesca Spiller.
The editorial projects featured in the Kiosk program offer a contemporary overview of design and interior magazines. Through a range of languages, formats, and approaches, these publications reflect a constantly evolving field, where publishing becomes a space for research, experimentation, and critical reflection. What emerges is a collective narrative that brings together visual culture, design, architecture, and ways of living, highlighting the role of magazines not only as critical tools, but also as active platforms for producing and shaping contemporary design discourse.
