Public Design Festival 2009 – Milan, April 18 to 26

During the Salone Internazionale del Mobile (Milan’s International Furniture Fair), esterni will try to further highlight the important and central role of public spaces.

After 13 years of actions, projects, ideas, and concrete proposals – and after the experience gathered with its public design project – esterni presents its Public Design Festival: a festival aimed in the first place for designers and architects, but also for public administrators, companies, and common citizens to focus on public spaces, and on how they are conceived and designed, or, on the contrary, neglected.

For further information please have a look at publicdesignfestival.it
The programme is under construction, the website will be updated in the next weeks.
