For the second year, companies of the “Design Tessile Sistema Casa” group of Confindustria Salerno will be at the Design Week in Milan.

The sponsoring companies will show the design products Made in Salerno and some new pieces coming from the second edition of the "Young Factory Design" Contest -YFD II, at Officina 22 in Brera.

Salerno Chamber of Commerce supported this initiative and partially sponsored it, along with Confindustria Salerno who strongly believed in the growth of the project that endorses the synergy between the manufacturing companies of the territory and young designers. As matter of fact from the first edition, strong collaborations and numerous networking opportunities were born.

Last year the Group debuted for the first time at Design Week in Tortona area, this year the exhibition moves to an exclusive location of the Brera District: Officina 22, in Foro Buonaparte, 22 Milan. The Brera district is a landmark of Italian excellence in fashion and design and the beating heart of the Fuorisalone.

Valeria Prete, president of the Group, says «The presence for the second consecutive year at the Design Week in Milan gives us awareness of a synergy between “Company – Designer” that is growing and is shaping on empathy - determination and origins »

workshops

Arch. Francesco Giannattasio is the curator of the exhibition. He took inspiration from the land of the 12 exhibiting companies: “being a drop of our sea in our land” is the common thread that unites the twelve companies, expression not only of their know-how but of a broader business networking, made of synergy and empathy between company and designer.

Four free workshops will take place every day from April 17 to 21 from 18:00 to 19:00, at Officina 22.

B2D - Business to Designers
