DESIGN WEEK
2016 DESIGN UNITED
Florence Design Week is a multi-
disciplinary and creative project
designed to communicate the identity
of individuals, businesses, cultures,
ans societies to the world.
Life style, pleasure, art de vivre,
environmental sustainability, a mix of
business and network, virtuous
contamination, make Florence again
the center of the aesthetic debate to
express visual, functional, ethical
beauty in the world.
The Festival is therefore a must for
industry experts, professionals,
entrepreneurs, companies, teachers,
students, creative Italians and
foreigners.
Design United is the theme of the 2016
edition, dedicated to creativity.
Florence Design Week, aims this year
to promote the collective dimension of
design and creativity, encouraging
exchanges between various cultures.
The creative process is usually not a
solitary activity and includes group
participation right from the conceptual
phase of a project. Even the most
solitary of the designers finds
inspiration and reference to the society
in which he lives and aims his work to
one in which he would like to live; good
d e s i g n t e n d s t o u n i o n a n d
communication rather than to
separation.
Florence Design Week this year is
dedicated to the most creative cities
that integrate people of different
cultures through design, to designers
who welcome inputs from different
disciplines, and to design solutions that
include a strong ethical and sustainable
orientation.
