ASIA DESIGN MILANO
ABOUT US
Do you remember the artistic collective Tomato Catch Up and its exhibition China Made in Italy on Sarpi Street in Milan back in 2012?
Do you remember Sarpi Bridge_Oriental Design Week and its very first Fuorisalone during Milan Design Week 2013?
That was us — and today, we are Asia Design Milano, an unprecedented platform dedicated to Oriental Design, both within Milan Design Week and beyond.
We are a window onto the most dynamic continent, with a broad network of participating countries, offering an interdisciplinary perspective on design and cultural initiatives.
We are a cultural association based in Turin and Milan.
Our mission is to foster cultural and economic development, provide opportunities for emerging designers, and open the way to new market possibilities.
We are not just an event — we are a systemic network.
We create projects and brands in collaboration with the East.
We are a true bridge between East and West!
Over the years, we have brought to life many memorable projects:
Insectida, J+i, offiCINA- fusion DesignLab, Bambooied!, Oriental Kitchen Sounds, Design per il Sociale, I-C-Barcode, Make a Bridge – Moving in the Cities, Longevicity, Let’s Talk About, A metà del ponte, l’Iran tra Oriente e Occidente, The Design You Have Never Seen, Oriental Design Week in Turin, OO!CHINA, Sarpi Bridge in Macao, HOMI Asia Design in Fiera Milano, Slow Food Great China, Slow Food Beijing Festival, Asia Design Pavilion…
