Milan Design Week 2019: Tribute To Leonardo Da Vinci – With the upcoming Milan Design Week, and the outstanding design event Salone del Mobile, the city of Milan will be the center of the world for all design enthusiast, professionals, and lovers, and this year will be even more special for the Tribute to Leonardo Da Vinci, so keep on reading and check out what this tribute is all about!
The 58th edition of Milan Design Week comes up with an incredible concept this year. The event will pay tribute to Leonardo Da Vinci to mark the 500th-anniversary of his death, recalling some achievements and some of his most inspiring work.
There will be two exhibitions related to Leonardo Da Vinci and his lifetime works during the period from the 9th to the 14th of April. The first will be an exhibition on the Conca Dell’Incoranata. The second will happen at Salone del Mobile, in the Rho Fiera.
AQUA, the first exhibition, celebrates the originality and visionary mind of Da Vinci’s studies and works and, of course, is linked to one of his greatest works in the Milan region: The Naviglio Grande. The canal will be covered with an architectural structure in the form of a large stretch of water, at the edge of which a huge LED screen will become a window to Milan of the future. A horizon that changes according to the time of day will be shown.
Under this structure, a wunderkammer (cabinet of curiosities) will be created, where visitors can experience all the beauty, energy and shape of water, wrapped in image and sound thanks to the use of state-of-the-art technology in a totally independent environment.
The second exhibition is in the fairgrounds of the Salone del Mobile, more specifically in Pavilion 24 and is called DE-SIGNO. The main objective of this exhibition is to honor the art of Italian Design and the artworks of Leonardo Da Vinci. It explores the grandeur of Made in Italy design products and craftsmanship, comparing it from the furniture made during the times of the great master to the present day, compiling all the stunning contemporary design that we are all so accustomed to seeing at the Salone del Mobile.
