Excellent results for the third edition of the exhibition din – design in, organized by Promotedesign.it during the Milan Design Week, from 14th to19th April. Within 2000 square meters of industrial warehouse in the heart of Lambrate district, more than 100 self-produced designers, both Italian and foreigners, showcased their projects to an audience of over 100,000 visitors.

If “din” means ” noise ” we can claim that this year the event organized by Promotedesign.it had great resonance and let feel its echo in the whole Lambrate district as a leading showcase for the self-produced quality design. Professionals, journalists, design lovers and visitors were able to admire the projects of more than 100 exhibitors from Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, England, Ireland, Portugal, Belgium, Hungary, Russia, Japan, China, USA and South America. From the bookcase to the kitchen accessory, from hanging lamps to audio broadcasting systems and comfortable and extravagant objects for pets, everything in the name of innovation. It is also important not to forget the area devoted to high-tech industry and the temporary shop for contemporary art jewelry.

The large venue was fully set up using industrial material, mainly palette and cardboard, which have mapped out a thematic path among the exhibition islands, giving equal visibility to designers and allowing a smooth flow of visitors between the two opposite entrances, one from Via Massimiano and the other one from Via Sbodio.

The Art director of the event has previously selected the projects to be showcased among a number of nominations received by the editorial office of Promotedesign.it, in order to offer the public a high quality event,
