NEW CRAFTSMANSHIP: A NEW WORLD

The theme proposed to the approximately 700 selected designers and to the 20 Design Schools and Universities participating in the event devoted to talents under 35 founded and curated by Marva Griffin is  NUOVO ARTIGIANATO: UN MONDO NUOVO // NEW CRAFTSMANSHIP: A NEW WORLD. This is an invitation to reimagine the universe of the handmade, beyond the vernacular. Objective: to build a bridge between the heritage and the future, starting from an idea of craftsmanship capable of generating new interactions with contemporary design in the name of sustainability and the value of local cultural identities. A highly stimulating reflection for a sector that, in its many product forms, has to respond to the needs of a constantly evolving demand and new export geographies.
