ARCHIPRODUCTS MAGAZINE From Milan to Eindhoven: road to Dutch Design Week Nataly Rodriguez
Isola Design District goes to the Netherlands
is ready to land to the Netherlands after the amazing outcome of the first three editions at Milan Design Week. The youngest design district of Milan will be the first to attend an event abroad, the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, from October 19th to 27th 2019.
In the last few years, Isola Design District has become a true community of international designers and continues to grow by creating a bridge between Italy and the Netherlands, through the sharing of ideas and experiences during DDW. An important opportunity to give visibility to the projects involved, but also to promote the Isola neighbourhood, the City of Milan - the event is supported by the Municipality of Milan - and the Milan Design Week.
« We are really proud to have been selected within the official program of such an important international event as Dutch Design Week – says Gabriele Cavallaro, Blank’s co-founder and project manager of Isola Design District – The visit we made last October during the 2018 edition of the event was crucial to fostering a high-value network of contacts in the Netherlands and understanding that it would be the best context for Isola Design District outside the Italian borders, because it’s very close to the vision of our project ».
Will be 35 the designers exhibiting their products and projects within the gallery, reaching a new and extremely qualified audience, giving them a plethora of opportunities to be known and discovered in the Netherlands as well. Among these designers, some were already present at the latest edition of Fuorisalone, as Marco Williams Fagioli winner of two editions of the Compasso d’Oro ADI award, Caracol Studio, with their 3D printed bar entirely made using recycled coffee capsules supplied by Lavazza – sponsor of the event –, Izgi Erik, a young Turkish designer with her research on materials waste, but also Federica Cristaudo, Nataly Rodriguez Design Studio together with Sumaya Shelbi, Ciro Bergonzi and Nikolas Miranda. There will also be Myriam Kuehne Rauner, designer and gallery owner who will present her new collection of furnishing objects, and Pietro Algranti, craftsman of recycled materials with which he makes unique design pieces, both protagonists of design in the Isola neighbourhood all year long.
