It might be the spring air, or it might be the three difficult years behind us, but the return of Milano Design Week 2023 in “its” regular month of April has got us hyped.

After two years of forced closure, one of the most important trade fairs in the world in the immense consumer-goods sector is back live and in person: Ambiente 2023, taking place from February 3rd to 7th at Messe Frankfurt.

The Ambiente Frankfurt trade fair taking place from February 3rd to 7th will once again be an important occasion to discover the latest releases from the vast sector of consumer goods.

What do an American TV program and a massive European trade fair have in common? Well, they are both searching for the best in design and innovation.

In addition to being the biggest consumer-goods trade fair in the world, Ambiente is also an extremely important event for finding out about the state of the art of design and international creativity.

Practical, minimalist, and timeless, Scandinavian design is adored throughout the world for its formal simplicity. The Nordic home is a warm and modern place by definition, where everything responds to the criteria of functionality, quality, and comfort.

As in previous years, Designbest went to Bologna’s Cersaie exhibition, the most important international event for the design of surfaces, bathroom fixtures and finishes in architecture.

Kartell x Starck: l’eleganza dell’intelligenza. Ovvero, una mostra che rende omaggio al design per celebrare il 35esimo compleanno di RBC, una delle più importanti realtà francesi del design contemporaneo, e il suo primo showroom disegnato dal 1987 proprio da Philippe Starck a Nimes.

Development, Sustainability and Responsibility were the key concepts of the Compasso d’Oro 2022, the most prestigious Italian award for industrial design. Founded in 1954, the 27th edition of this well-known and much sought-after prize took place on June 20, 2022 at the ADI Design Museum, the new design museum which opened a year ago in Milan.

“Designers will no longer just draw with a pencil, they will create in partnership with technicians, scientists, professors and doctors and, in the fairly near future, even electronic brains,” stated the visionary and forward-thinking designer Joe Colombo.
