ASIA DESIGN MILANO

Do you remember the artistic collective Tomato Catch Up and its exhibition China Made in Italy in Sarpi street in 2012? Do you remember Sarpi Bridge_Oriental Design Week and its first Fuorisalone in 2013? We were all of this and today we are Asia Design Milano, an unprecedented focus on Oriental Design, within the Milan Design Week and beyond. We are a window on the most dynamic continent with a large number of countries involved; an interdisciplinary look at a wide range of design and cultural initiatives.

We are the week of oriental design in Italy and in Europe. We are a cultural association based in Turin and Milan, whose mission is to stimulate cultural and economic development, give opportunities to new designers and pave the way for new market opportunities. We are not just an event but a systemic network.

During Milano Design Week our main partner is Milano Space Makers, one of the main players in the Tortona area which has under its control many exhibition spaces, large and small, scattered throughout the district. Milano Space Makers operates throughout the year in the organization of fairs and events, and promotes the Tortona area by reconverting abandoned industrial premises, which are redeveloped respecting their architectural DNA and transformed into spaces for temporary events or exhibition galleries.
