Reflections on matter and attempts to transform it have long been at the heart of human culture, which studies, experiments with and manipulates it in order to interpret its relationship with the natural world. However, it is in the human sphere that these notions converge and harmonize, blending seamlessly with one another. The term ânaturaâ (nature) serves as a strong call to address the most pressing and topical issues we face today, emphasizing the critical need to advocate initiatives geared towards more sustainable and environmentally conscious solutions.
Essentially, Fuorisalone 2024 invites participants to explore the intersection of materiality and nature, encouraging them to reimagine design practices that prioritize sustainability, environmental stewardship and a deeper connection with the natural world. When designers and enthusiasts converge on Milan, they will embark on a journey of exploration, inspiration and innovation, united by a shared commitment to shaping a more sustainable and harmonious future through design.
âFuorisalone provides a platform for free expression and dialogue, nurturing critical discussions about the role of design across all its facets. Today, nature emerges as a paramount source of inspiration, one that necessitates collective stewardship. This ethos underpins the selection of our theme, where âmatterâ encompasses Knowledge culture, and expertise, while
