“Next Design Perspectives”, the conference organized by Altagamma, Fiera Milano and Agenzia ICE, is back for the second edition
The conference investigates the ongoing changes in consumption patterns, from the point of view of design and creativity. According to Andrea Illy, Chairman of Altagamma, “Fashion, design, food & beverage, automotive, yachts, and hospitality are the leading fields represented by Altagamma, generating an international debate.”

The curator of the 2019 edition of Next Design Perspectives is Deyan Sudjic, design journalist and critic, director of the London Design Museum, founding editor of Blueprint magazine. He has chosen this year’s speakers – designers, entrepreneurs, researchers and opinion leaders from different fields – who will talk about how dramatically and rapidly our society is changing.
How technology is affecting our lives?
Today we live in a very different way, not only compared to the previous generation, but also compared to how we used to live just a few years ago. Technology has influenced the way we work, buy, live, and in the meantime life has become longer, creating new ways of using time. How will this accelerating pace of change affect our lives in the future?
Panelists will answer this and other questions, following one other on the stage throughout the day. Like last year, the first part of the conference will consist in a presentation of new social and cultural trends, delivered by Lisa White from WGSN – Lifestyle & Interiors. Following this presentation, the day will be divided into themed sections, covering topic of interest for the cultural and creative industries that Fondazione Altagamma represents.
The themed sections are: MOBILITY. The road ahead. HOME AND WORK. New workplaces, from work from home to the office as home. HOSPITALITY AND THE KITCHEN. The impact of AirBnB and food delivery on traditional hospitality and domestic kitchens. HOW WE CONSUME FASHION. How the fashion business evolves, with new business models, cultural changes and technological drives. The moderator of the conference will be Tony Chambers, creative director and design consultant.
