The Italian Design Futures Capsule - designed by Stefano Boeri Interiors
Stefano Boeri Interiors, will again collaborate with FIND to design a unique area entitled “The Italian Design Future Capsule”. The exhibition layout conceived by Stefano Boeri Interiors develops around a 'square’ that represents a meeting place dedicated to the exchange and sharing of visions and projects, generated by the intersection of two large orthogonal "public boulevards." Inspired by the historic gateways of Italian cities, the entrances to "The Italian Design Futures Capsule" are identified by large monumental green portals that help visitors orient themselves within the pavilion.
The central square is the beating heart of the entire set-up, where visitors converge to participate in formative moments of listening and dialogue, provided by the Global Summit, curated by Yoko Choy, which will bring together opinion leaders to discuss the developments that are driving the design industry today. The traveling exhibition "Italia Geniale" dedicated to enhancing the heritage of trademarks and patents and telling the story of Italian design - organized in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Singapore and with the support of ICE and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, organized by ADI (Association for Industrial Design)- will be hosted along the main boulevard.
