Itinerary

Ventura Lambrate & Ventura Centrale

Area: Lambrate&Centrale

Imagine walking into the scenic, abandoned vaults of one of Italy’s major train stations. The heritage status of the spaces and the endless possibilities dazzled us with excitement. This was the feeling that Margriet Vollenberg, director of Ventura Projects, experienced when first encountering the potential of these ‘theatrical’ spaces. Ventura Centrale was born and the newly found spaces were easily matched with the right exhibitors. With the initiative of presenting the site-specific design installations to the public, the vaults are coming back to life. 

While Ventura Centrale aims to complement its ‘cribs’ with spectacular installations, Ventura Lambrate is now, more than ever before, looking outward to see what design can do for our rapidly changing world. Whether it is to reflect on political issues, to address the risks and hopes of technological advancements or to find sustainable ways of preserving our planet, the Ventura Lambrate designers will show their intent to support global progress. This gathering of established designers, emerging names and academies in the industrial district of Lambrate continues to amaze. For every Ventura Lambrate edition we carefully revise the selection, define the focus and adjust the locations, ensuring that the visitor will see the latest trends and most eye-catching output in contemporary design.

Before you experience everything first hand, keep up-to-date through FacebookTwitter, and Instagram and use #venturalambrate #venturacentrale to share the news!
