Catalonia will participate at Milano Design Week, the world’s leading design event, From April 7th to 13th. Around forty companies and eighty Catalan designers will present over one hundred lighting products in the exhibition Inspired in Barcelona: Luce, an initiative promoted by Catalonia Trade & Investment—the agency for business competitiveness of the Ministry for Business and Labour—along with the Barcelona City Council and organized by the Barcelona Creativity & Design Foundation.
The exhibition will take place in Milan’s Brera district, specifically at the Sala Scalabrini in the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine. The space, in complete darkness, features three platforms displaying around one hundred designer lighting objects. These pieces have been created by both established brands and professionals, as well as emerging designers. The exhibition also includes participation from Catalan design schools such as EINA, Elisava, Escola Massana, ESDAPC, IED Barcelona, and LCI Barcelona.
The show aims to explore the past, present, and future of Catalan design as applied to the field of lighting. Curated by architect and designer Stefano Colli, the exhibition presents a visual narrative centered on the creative potential of light as a defining element of Catalan and Barcelona-based design.
This exhibition of Catalan design is part of the 63rd edition of the Salone del Mobile, which will host more than 2,100 exhibitors from 37 countries throughout Milano Design Week. More specifically, it is included in the program of Fuorisalone, the series of events taking place across different areas of Milan.
