VANK is thrilled to announce its debut participation in Milan Design Week 2024, scheduled from April 15th to 21st. Our sustainable designs will be displayed in the group exhibition Is One Life Enough? situated in a revitalized venue with green DNA - Lampo Milano, located in the vibrant Isola district. We explore the idea of energy as an element integral to innovative design, just as solar energy is essential for plant growth in the process of photosynthesis. This synergy between nature and creativity paves the way for new opportunities in sustainable development and creative approaches to design.
During the Isola Design Festival, over 320 global designers, studios, creatives, and manufacturers will showcase their work in numerous venues, encompassing three main centers, notably, for the first time, the Lampo event venue situated at Via Valtellina 5. Lampo Milano is a new urban redevelopment project with green DNA spanning an area of 40.000 sqm within the historic railway yard, Scalo Farini. Is One Life Enough? features a curated selection of collectable pieces and market-ready products crafted using sustainable materials and circular methods. It sparks a dialogue on the countless possibilities within a human, product, and material lifetime while showcasing ways to infuse new life into products designed for a single life cycle.
Guests visiting the Lampo space and the VANK exhibition can anticipate encountering inspiring trends and innovative circular design concepts.VANK exhibition explores the idea of energy as an element integral to innovative design, just as solar energy is essential for plant growth in the process of photosynthesis. Through this process, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into biomass, which we can then use in various creative and manufacturing processes. The greater the number of products featuring renewable plant-based raw materials, the lower the dependence on oil and the carbon footprint. This synergy between nature and creativity paves the way for new opportunities in sustainable development and creative approaches to design.
The Milan event also marks collaboration with Kvadrat, a renowned brand recognized for its high-quality premium fabrics, which we will showcase on our circular soft seating collection. The soft-touch boucle Elle in sunset colors will be featured on the VANK_LONG lounge chair, known for its distinctive line of semicircular cushions.
VANK_LONG has been honored as the winner of the Iconic Awards 2024 and will also be showcased in Milan at the digital exhibition hosted by the German Design Council. The exhibition will take place at the Amy-d Arte Spazio gallery in the Brera district, located at Via Lovalio 6, from April 16th to April 21st.
