On the occasion of Milan Design Week, scheduled from 7th to 13th April, Brera Design District reaches its 16th edition embracing the theme of “Connected Worlds” proposed this year by Fuorisalone.
The theme truly reflects the multi-faceted spirit of a district in the city which has become not only a unique brand of its kind but also an international point of reference thanks to its commercial offering and its identity, in a mix of craftmanship, art, culture, lifestyle, food and wine and hospitality.
The same intertwining of interpretations and points of view, but also of colours, shades, materials and graphic signs can also be found in the project named “Horizons”: the new installation of Brera Design Apartment (via Palermo 1), curated by the Zanellato/Bortotto Studio.
