Milano The School of Design
The School of Design
Milan is synonymous with design, and no wonder. It unites a rich history with a continued vital role in the global design landscape that is always respectful of the past but has an eye towards the future. This unique approach to research and experimentation is also reflected in the Milano Design School, where participants will be challenged with projects from artisanal furniture to high-end inspirational design for interiors, products, and visual graphics. All courses at Istituto Marangoni Milano Design School are underpinned by a contemporary aesthetic approach, and a heavy dose of fashion cross-pollination, thanks to the luxury and fashion found around every corner. This design culture is closely linked with the city’s design district and the community of creative designers who are drawn to study, work and live in this fertile environment, leading to an exclusive mix of cutting-edge design paired with new technologies, and an eye for commerce that successfully combines theory with practice.
Interior Design

Interior Design at Istituto Marangoni is not just about ‘producing’ an environment, but a creative and complex mix of the latest trends, industry developments, accurate project management, functionality and contemporary aesthetics. Depending on their chosen level of study, participants work on projects that span residential, commercial or leisure sites, working on the design, or renovation, of the space in question. As well as coordinating furnishings, fixings, lighting and colour, participants are shown how to skilfully mix atmosphere, culture, and a creative vision, and consider new global issues in design wellbeing, the user experience, and sustainability. Client expectations and the study of brand identity add to the creative design mix, assisting in the creation of an emotional response through space. Pathways offer additional study options to further specialise in Interior Design.
DISCOVER MOREProduct Design

All Product Design courses at Istituto Marangoni combine a heritage immersed in craftsmanship and creativity, together with applied manual, technical and digital design skills. Depending on their chosen level of study, participants work on developing luxury furniture, bespoke or one-off items, or innovative products for industrial design and commercialisation. As well as technical drawing, 3D modelling, visualisation and prototype development with CAD, participants investigate the influence of Made in Italy in the design arena, the use of sustainable materials and renewable resources, and new methods and processes of production. Graduates are able to design and visualise products in connection with space or location, and accurately evaluate their functional and ergonomic properties to produce innovative product designs. Pathways offer additional study options to further specialise in Product Design.
DISCOVER MOREVisual Design

Istituto Marangoni study methods in Visual Design are rigorously oriented towards industry demands and ‘real-world’ project experiences in a technologically advanced, and emotionally charged, design field. Depending on their chosen level of study, participants may work on video, animation, interaction and motion graphics, all fundamental to communicate, promote, or sell a vision, a product or an event, in today’s contemporary visual arena. They analyse new consumer habits and how they impact the way we communicate; they also explore the latest visual approaches and tools of expression in the digital age - including web design, blogs and social platforms - to reach today’s “bicultural consumers”, and they study the influence of phygital retail, blending digital features with future-oriented in-store experiences.
