Event Details

For its tenth edition, 5VIE Design Week - the diffused event dedicated to artistic and collectable design, high craftsmanship and the contamination of design with the fields of art and creativity in the broadest sense - returns to the district of Milan's historical centre, in the area between Corso Magenta, Sant'Ambrogio and Le Colonne di San Lorenzo.
This year's title, Design for Good, is intended as an invitation to look at design as a tool for creating and cultivating deep human connections, with a focus on sustainability rooted in mutual care. 
The exhibitions and installations address themes such as spirituality, the connection with nature, the relationship with one's historical roots, the drama of incommunicability and the notion of connection. The intention is to emphasise how the strength of design lies in the poetic connection between the aesthetic dimension - in what is beautiful - with that of ethics - in what is good. Through aisthesis then, feeling with the senses and with the heart, design becomes a language capable of connecting human beings beyond all borders and diversity and it turns into a tool for constructing values.
“Design for Good” is a play on words: a wish that design is “for real”, and above all, that it is oriented towards a common good.
