Milano Design Week 2025
From April 8 to 13, Milano Design Week, as every year, transforms the city of Milan into a vibrant center of innovation, where designers and enthusiasts from around the world meet to explore the latest trends and innovations.
Politecnico di Milano confirms its commitment to enhancing and promoting creativity and design, particularly through “INTERDEPENDENCE: Exploring Opposites” the diffuse event organized by the Design System (School of Design, Department of Design, POLI.design Consortium), which presents a selection of projects by students from the University and a network of about 40 design universities worldwide.
During the week, there are also lectures by world-renowned architects such as David Chipperfield and Bjarke Ingels, a retrospective dedicated to the work of Carlo De Carli, a Politecnico alumnus among the protagonists of post-World War II Italian architecture and design, as well as installations in various locations around the city.
