Italian Design Day – A day of international celebration of Italian creativity and genius in the field of design
We are excited to announce The 9th edition of the Italian Design Day “Inequalities. Design for a Better Life”. This edition is about the theme of the upcoming Universal Exhibition of the Milan Triennale “Inequalities. How to mend the fractures of humanity” which opens in May and lasts until November.
To celebrate Italia Design Day in South Africa, the Italian Cultural Institute, Italian Embassy, and the Department of Architecture and Industrial Design, Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), Pretoria, are happy to invite you for an exclusive conference featuring Italian Testimonial Matteo Cibic.
