“Design for Good is food for thought on the importance of relationships and on our ability to share and exchange through culture and creativity,” 5Vie spokespeople Ernesta del Cogliano and Emanuele Tessarolo told Archipanic.”Design can become a tool for preserving and caring for deep human connections.”
From here, the design district has selected projects and produced exhibitions and installations by international designers and artists exploring themes like spirituality, connection with Nature, the bond with our roots and history, incommunicability, and the miracle of interconnection.

“Milan was and still is an important stage for creativity on an international level.” Conclude Ernesta del Cogliano and Emanuele Tessarolo. “After the past troubled years, in this edition of 5Vie, you can clearly breathe a creative buzz and a renewed will to start again. In our vision, design is a language able to connect people beyond borders and diversity by building common value.”
