Milan, Design Capital is a journey through the places, faces, and ideas that made the city a global benchmark for design culture. From great masters, including Gio Ponti, Gae Aulenti, Castiglioni, and Albini, to “rebels” like Sottsass and Mendini, or more intimate, contemporary voices, such as De Lucchi, the showcase intertwines stories of life and creative visions. Through archive-homes, iconic objects, trains, lights, and dreams, these films lead us into the heart of Milan, where design arose from a dialogue between time, space, and imagination. It’s a city that not only tells its story but reinvents itself every day through those who envisage and inhabit it.

Promoted by the Italian Cultural Institute in London, this showcase was conceived by Audiovisiva.
