The design library an open window to young designers in Italy and soon around the world
Design Library, Milano – Thursday, June 9th
 |
| Part of the Design Library's collection of books and magazines |
The Design Library in Milan is an example of easy accessibility to the world of design to young designers. With its >5000 books and >1500 magazines, its lectures on every Thursday and a swirl of events that take place, it’s difficult for young and professional designers to resist the curiosity and knowledge that the library provides. What’s even more beneficial is that anyone is able to present at any lecture, not just famous designers or design professors. With the many styles of lectures – for example the Castiglioni format (finding objects in the streets and explain why you picked it) or the Vitamin D format (young designers, <35 years old, get a half hour to talk about themselves and their work), many varieties are given to the students and young designers in terms of witnessing different perspectives of design and its diversity.
This library is just an example of the many outlets of design that young designers get exposed to in Italy. The degree of accessibility is incredibly high – especially through the amount of design museums, exhibitions, studios and even retail stores and shops. The number of studios and museums that we’ve been to are minimal compared to the amount in Italy itself and we’ve visited a LOT!
