Stefania Lazzaroni General Manager Fondazione Altagamma AN INTRODUCTION “The Next Design Perspectives has been created by Altagamma to envision the trends that will affect fashion, design, food, hospitality and at the end of the day the way we live. But first of all we are very honored to have you be in such as amazing location so I really want to thank the person that is our host today and welcome on stage, Marco Bizzari, President and CEO of Gucci”. 2. Marco Bizzarri President and Ceo of Gucci GUCCI COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY IN MILANO AND SALONE DEL MOBILE CALL TO ACTION “Where you are today is an ex-hanger. This place was building airplanes during World War II and it is the place where Alessandro Michele, our Creative Director, is hosting all our shows. And I am very pleased to be part of his dream as well. The topic of this conference is about the future of creativity and it’s the same topic as last year, and I think there is not a single answer to this question. The way which we interpret that in Gucci is that creativity is about freedom, self-expression and respect. Respect in terms of values and respect in terms of environment. We’re very crazy about the environment in Gucci, starting from our CEO Francous Henry Pinault, and we announced in September to become completely carbon neutral as a company to offset everything that we cannot use through innovation. I think the amazing ideas this conference will share are very relevant for the future of design and our environment. Starting from last September we decided to make sustainable fashion show donanting 2000 trees to Milano, which we planted together with Mayor Sala recently in Parco Nord in Milano, to leave a visible sign of our activity despite the fact that we recycle everything and we promote biodiversity, I think it is important as well to take care of the community of where we are living. Our Hub is meant to be open to everybody. We decided as well to donate one tree for each of you in order to reach sooner or later Sala’s target of 3 million trees for Milano, in order to give back to the city. I invite you to do the same when you do events, starting from Salone del Mobile”. 2 3. Andrea Illy Chairman Fondazione Altagamma Sapiens is only 200.000 years old and it represents only 0,05s - if we consider the Earth age as one day - but in a fraction of this time we have been able to create our own era, Anthropocene. Anthropocene corresponds to only 40 nanoseconds (billions of seconds), which is a time in the same order of magnitude of a nuclear explosion. Since 1850, year of the first application of fossil fuels, which triggered the first industrial revolution, thanks to an extraordinary acceleration of our fundamental human activities, our population grew 11 times (cagr 1,4%) and our life expectancy became 15y longer (~1/5y). Fossil fuel consumptions grew enormously (cagr 7%) and the land covered with forest decreased by 1/3 (cagr -0,2%). In the last century, this caused a 40% increase of GHG (cagr ~0,2%), which clearly shows us that we exceeded the capacity of our Planet to “digest” the byproducts of combustion. We are simply burning too much, and we can’t continue at this rhythm, or global warning will become more and more devastating, but also irreversible and self- powered. While deforesting and emitting GHGs, we might have also destroyed up to 40% of natural biodiversity, at a rate which is 100-1000 time higher than normal and increased plastic production and consumption 300 times (cagr 9%). The human activity responsible for these balance sheet has been extractive production, with the exception of one: more or less one century after the beginning of Anthropocene, around the end of 1950, Sapiens made the first generative production, with the invention of the chip. Already now, thanks to artificial intelligence, Sapiens can process amounts of knowledge which would be otherwise be impossible to access. Within the next two decades the total amount of chips will surpass the number of human neurons and bioinformatic will create the first generation of biorgs, which sooner or later will certainly develop the capacity to self reproduce. This time has been named singularity. The essence of my message is extremely positive: not only the environmental damage we created during Anthropocene is relatively contained, but it’s highly reversible also thanks to a kind of new semi-organic species we created… We are talking about the highest intelligent human activities: regenerative production It means using the waste of our past extractive production as resources for the new regenerative production. Are we becoming scavengers? Yes, scavengers of a very sophisticated kind. For example, the excess of heat caused by global warming is a kind of ‘secondary energy’ which can be used instead of extracting, while cooling the planet at the same time. This is already being done at microscale level. Thanks to illimited and free solar energy, atmospheric carbon will become the new well, and carbon will also boost its mineral applications with new materials like graphene. We can already design a machine for that… Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what the most influential scientist and writer since Charles Darwin – James Lovelock, the father of the theory of Gaia – described as the new era of Novacene in his last book. Novacene requires us to change the way we think and design: 3 o We have been the effect of our Planet abundance, but now we reached the limit and abundance is becoming scarcity. o We cannot think linearly anymore, because everything is complex and most of the time chaotic. Even the paradigms of science will have to evolve from deterministic to probabilistic. o We cannot be incremental anymore, relying upon technological roadmaps. o We need to invent new un-imaginable technologies, new machines, new ways to regenerate resources in a circular way, so that resources become infinite. That’s radical thinking and creativity and that’s the reason-why of NEXT DESIGN PERSPECTIVES. Moreover, this this also the role of industry, as the ultimate responsible of building the society. 4. Deyan Sudjic Curator of Next Design Perspectives 2019, Director at Design Museum, London A career dedicated to journalism, teaching and writing BACK TO THE FUTURE: WILLIAM MORRIS, RALPH NADER, BUCKMINSTER FULLER AND DESIGN FOR THE REAL WORLD “Excuse me for a moment if I give you a picture from the past because I think it’s really worth reflecting a little bit on what design is, why it matters and its many definitions. So this image is William Morris, in some ways the man who invented the modern concept of design. He was active at the moment in which the industrial revolution cut the connection between the maker and the user and design became the new process involving mass production, I think that design had two very different directions in that moment, two very understandings what design might be. William Morris, who was a quite extraordinary combination of a revolutionary socialist wallpaper designer, believed that there was a deep moral mission for what design should be. He once said that you should have nothing in your home which you don’t know to be useful or you don’t believe to be beautiful. He was desperately worried about the end of craftsmanship and the renewal of dignity for the individual. He believed there should be a world in which everyone had wonderful things but with his reluctance to use the machine he found it quite hard to do that. I might call him a critical designer, perhaps the conscience of all of us who followed. He himself had very strong ideas of the ecology of his time.

  • Italian Fashion & Innovation
    Italian Fashion & Innovation Derek Pante Azmina Karimi Morgan Taylor Russell Taylor Introduction In Spring 2008, the Italia Design team researched the fashion industry in Italy, and discussed briefly how it fits into Italy’s overall innovation. The global public’s perception of Italy and Italian Design rests to some degree on the visibility and success of Fashion Design. The fashion and design industries account for a large percentage of Milan’s total economic output— as Milan goes economically, so goes Italy (Foot, 2001). Fashion Design clearly contributes to “brand Italia,” as well as to Italian culture generally. Yet, fashion is not our focus in this study: innovation and design is. Fashion’s goals are not the same as design. For one, fashion operates on “style,” design works on “language,” and style to a serious designer is usually the opposite of good design. Yet to ignore the area possibly creates a blind spot. With the resource this year of some students with great interest in this area it was decided that we should begin to investigate how fashion in Italy contributes to innovation, and how fashion in Milan and other centers in the North of Italy sustain “Creative Centers” where measurable agglomeration (a sign of innovation) occurs. Delving into Italian Fashion allowed us to rethink certain paradigms. For one, how we look at Florence as a design center. Florence has very little Industrial Design and, because of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage designation, has very little contemporary architectural culture. This reality became clear after four years of returning to the Renaissance city.

  • A Pavilion with Four Seasons at the Same Time
    A Pavilion with Four Seasons at the Same Time Salone del Mobile.Milano and CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati unveil “Living Nature”, a garden pavilion in Milan’s central square that uses energy flow control to allow spring, summer, autumn and winter to coexist under the same roof. The pavilion will be Salone del Mobile’s main venue in the city center MILAN, FEBRUARY 28TH, 2018 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE This spring, Salone del Mobile.Milano will work with international design and innovation office CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati to develop a project that explores the relationship between nature and living, with the aim of fostering a new debate on sustainable design in our homes. “Living Nature. La Natura dell’Abitare” is a garden pavilion where all four seasons coexist with each other at the same time, thanks to an innovative energy management system for climate control. The project, which stems from a concept by CRA and Studio Römer, will be open to the public in Milan’s main square (Piazza del Duomo) from the 17th to the 25th of April 2018, as the main city-based event during the 57th edition of Salone del Mobile.Milano. The 500 square-meter pavilion will house four natural, climatic microcosms that will enable all seasons of the year to unfold at precisely the same time, one next to the other. Visitors will be immersed in nature and experience its changes through the four different areas – Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn – embellished with familiar and domestic concepts. While it shapes a recreational space in the heart of the city “Living Nature” also explores the relationship between cities and nature, a recurring topic in Western history, from Ancient Greece to Frank Lloyd Wright or Ezebener Howard’s 20th century urban utopias.

  • Made in Italy 2.0
    MADE IN ITALY 2.0 Searching for the Characteristics of Contemporary Italian Fashion in the Context of Fashion Design Education in Italy Marina Holma Centre for Fashion Studies Master's Thesis 30 ECTS Master's Programme in Fashion Studies (120 ECTS) Spring term 2014 Supervisor: Louise Wallenberg Abstract “Made in Italy” is a phenomenon widely researched in economic, historical and cultural studies (including fashion studies). The research about this topic mostly refers to the fast economic development in post-WWII Italy, in which fashion played a major role. My thesis, however, analyzes the “Made in Italy” concept in contemporary Italian fashion, which I refer to as “Made in Italy 2.0.” In order to understand how Italian style can be characterized today, I conducted interviews in five design schools in Italy located in the different fashion cities of the country: IED and Politecnico (Milan), IUAV (Venice), Polimoda and IED (Florence). I then analyzed my collected data and compared it to the characteristics of the “Made in Italy” fashion of the second half of the twentieth century discussed by various scholars, thus discovering what are the truly contemporary features of Italian fashion. Keywords: contemporary Italian fashion, fashion design education in Italy, Made in Italy. 2 Table of Contents Chapter 1.

Despite the word ‘design’ in the title, craft materials and techniques dominated the two thousand five hundred exhibits (see figure 1.1) and the five room sets designed by architects including Carlo Mollino and Gio Ponti. Enjoying critical and popular acclaim, Italy at Work spent the next three years travelling to eleven other museums across North America, closing at the Museum of the Rhode Island School of Design in November 1953.2 In May 1951, just as Italy at Work was embarking on the second leg of its tour, the ninth Triennale di Milano esposizione internazionale delle arti decorative e industriali moderne e dell’architettura moderna (Milan Triennial International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts and Modern Architecture) (see plate 2) opened in Milan, with the theme L’unità delle arti (The Unity of the Arts). The Italian architect and artist organisers attempted to project a unified image of post-war modernity, but this was clouded by internal conflicts that reflected wider political turmoil. While industrial design was present, craft remained the main- stay of Italy’s exhibits, and both were given multiple roles by competing visions for the nation’s post-war future.
