During Salone del Mobile, Istituto Marangoni • The School of Design will dress its facade with amazing wallpapers designed by Surface & Textile Design Alumne for Jannelli&Volpi, an Italian industry leader in 100% Made in Italy wallpapers and coverings.

PRECIOUS HARMONIES

September 9th, 2021

Pianegonda’s Showroom will be the star of the third night – September 9 – organised by Isituto Marangoni with the exhibition “Precious Harmonies”, a collection of works by the students of the Master in Fine Jewelry Design. In their hands, jewellery becomes a tool to express their history and their creative sensibility through a language that finds its voice in graceful and contemporary shapes.

On September 9th don't miss the "Design Drops Night", the party organised by Istituto Marangoni • The School of Design that opens its doors to the city.

During the Salone, the installation “Culture as a mirror of society” will find its home at Cult&Must©Superstudio on Via Tortona. Directed by Giulio Cappellini and curated by Matteo Agati, Designer and Istituto Marangoni Alumnus, a work of art represents an opportunity to reflect on the complementary roles of Isituto Marangoni within the Design System: a talent hotbed and the beating heart of the Durini Design District, the future and the present of this wonderful world. 

Finally, getting to the heart of sustainability, attention for the environment and the needs of new generations, Istituto Marangoni partnered with Flaminia to participate in WePlanet with "Now", a globe decorated by the members of the Prisma Project with bandages, as a metaphor for the care the world needs.
