Product design master reveals the secret ingredients of Made in Italy

Milan is a laboratory city, capable of stimulating creativity, welcoming and including. In a book published in 2019, Marco Sammicheli and Anna Mainoli celebrate it as "The Design City", a place where design is not only a discipline but a world of connections and culture increasingly widespread and hybridised to other fields. Milan is a unique microcosm where designers, companies, magazines and schools constantly dialogue for innovation.

It is from this virtuous system that Istituto Marangoni Milano Design has rethought its Master in Product & Furniture Design. The institute will involve participants in a real and innovative research experience in direct contact with well-known designers and leading companies in the world of Made in Italy furniture. Conceived by Giulio Cappellini, the annual course is aimed at those who wish to acquire skills on project methodology and a unique vantage point on the current sector of furniture and product design. The course is divided into three phases, each of which involves a designer and a company: Elena Salmistraro and Moroso, Philippe Nigro and Alias, Moreno Vannini from Studio Nendo and Alessi.

The new Master in Product & Furniture Design proposes a unique journey that imagines new relationships between designers, companies and schools: a dialogue that will allow to undertake research paths that are also surprising for the same companies involved in projects, certainly a stimulus to imagine the objects, spaces and relationships of tomorrow. From 12 October, Marangoni Milano Design will reopen its doors to students, with all the necessary precautions for a safe return and with great innovations in its various fields of Interior, Product and Visual Design. The school is located near one of the city's Design Districts, and is surrounded by the showrooms of the most important Italian and international design companies.
