Milan, 16th April 2014

The second edition of the exhibition din - design, organized by Promotedesign.it during Milan Design Week, from 8th to 13th April was a great success. Within an industrial warehouse of 2000 m2 in the heart of the Lambrate district, more than 100 self-produced designers, both Italian and foreign, have exhibit their subjects to an audience of over 100,000 visitors.

If Din means "noise" we can claim that this year the event organized by Promotedesign.it had great resonance and let feel its echo in the whole Lambrate district as a leading showcase for the self-made quality design. Professionals, journalists, fans and visitors were able to admire the projects of more than 100 exhibitors from Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, England, Ireland, Portugal, Belgium, Hungary, Poland, Japan, China, USA and South America. From the library to the kitchen accessory, from the hanging lamp to the camping tent, from the couch to the rocking horse and the jewels, everything in the name of innovation and eco -friendliness.

The large venue was fully set up using industrial material, mainly palette and cardboard, which have mapped out a thematic path among the exhibition islands, giving equal visibility to designers and allowing a smooth flow of visitors between the two opposite entrances, one on Via Massimiano and the other on Via Sbodio. It was essential for the setting up and the creation of the industrial “mood” the collaboration with RI.CRE.AR, a company specialized in the production of furniture, furniture components and fittings, made with materials coming from the recovery of wood packaging, which provided the materials for the location furnishing.
