Milan Design Week 2024 ended with extraordinary success, showcasing the best of innovative and sustainable design. The event drew thousands of designers, artists, companies and enthusiasts from all over the world, who helped make it a one-of-a-kind experience.
The week saw Diasen’s debut with the installation “The Forest in a Room”, created by industrial designer Giulio Iacchetti and shown with great success at the Rossana Orlandi Gallery. The work, a tribute to the Mediterranean and the cork ecosystem, used biophilic and natural materials to metaphorically recreate a cork oak grove, offering a sensory experience and creating deep connections between visitors and their surroundings.
Diasen’s participation in Milan Design Week marked an important first step into the world of design for the company. Its commitment to promoting the use of local materials typical of the Mediterranean tradition, such as cork, clay, lime and pumice, drew the attention of an international audience increasingly attentive to the link between beauty, style and the themes of wellbeing and sustainability.
“During Milan Design Week 2024, we had the honour of presenting not only our innovative solutions but also our vision for a future of design founded on the use of natural, regenerative materials,” said Diego Mingarelli, founder and president of Diasen. “It was our first participation in this extraordinary Milanese event and I was deeply struck by the incredible variety of exhibitions, the creative energy that pervaded the whole event and the enthusiasm of the visitors. This unforgettable experience inspires and motivates us to continue, with ever greater determination, on our path to innovate and promote a vision of design based on the inseparable relationship between function, beauty, nature and comfort.”
