As part of the Genova Design Week, scheduled from 21 to 25 May 2025, the project “Mani e materia: Design inconsueto” (Hands and Matter: Unusual Design) is on the calendar, an initiative created to enhance the dialogue between manufacturing excellence, innovation and the recovery of historical spaces (curator: Arch. Miria Uras). Under the patronage of Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d'Arte.
The Genova Design Week is a special event: a widespread exhibition that transforms the historic centre of Genoa into a network of ancient palaces and atriums, where design and creativity intertwine with history, offering an exclusive cultural experience. Mani e materia: Design inconsueto will be the focus of a narrative itinerary enhancing know-how, design culture and the relationship between tradition and innovation.
Journey through unusual design objects: from raw material to finished product, through a unique experience that will combine tradition and innovation to enhance craftsmanship as an art form. The contribution of the Fondazione Cologni, invited by Arch. Miria Uras, will represent an added value to explore themes such as the transmission of artistic crafts, the role of design in contemporary craftsmanship and opportunities for new generations.
