DESIGN ANTIDOTO, City Eden. Resilienze Festival

After the first edition in 2020 at the Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan, Design Antidoto is back with the “City Eden” exhibition, at the Serre dei Giardini Margherita, Bologna, from 9 to 12 September, during Resilienze Festival. For the location, Illuminazioni collective, founded by the under 30 designers Virginia Alluzzi and Caterina Capelli, has regenerated one of the greenhouses with the support of the Baustudioarchitecture practice.

In 2020, in Milan, Design Antidoto focused on design outputs born as an “antidoto” (antidote, solution) to the needs (social, spatial, psychological, practical) that we all experienced during the moments of emergency and quarantine. On the other hand, this year’s selection, with seven unpublished projects and three innovative startups, aims to show how Design can be a useful tool to face the challenges of this new normalcy. The goal is to invite visitors to experience this discipline not as a distant and commercial world, but as a vehicle of social, environmental and cultural values ​​and innovation. Once again, an antidote for everyone. Below, a preview of the exhibitors that will be present in Bologna:
