At Fuorisalone 2021, 5Vie Design Week is back, the eighth edition of the event involving the 5Vie District
The 2021 edition of the event is dedicated to Maestro AG Fronzoni, the father of Italian design minimalism in the years of the economic boom. As usual, 5Vie Design Week includes 5Vie productions, exhibitions and installations with guests and partners, meetings, talks, and entertainment. All activities will also be available on the digital platform 5Vie.it, for those who cannot attend.
Here and Now: Design in Action
5Vie presents four internationally renowned designers with four site-specific installations. At Via Cesare Correnti 14, curator Maria Cristina Didero offers the exhibition Looks Like Magic, by Spanish designer Jorge Penadés. Penadés uses textile scraps to give life to a new material and shows all the process phases in a pop-up laboratory set up for the occasion. Sara Ricciardi, a designer from Benevento, proposes a traveling performance that reinterprets the character of the street vendor. The designer will also design the “currency” of exchange with which visitors can buy products from the workers, which will be available at the 5Vie information booths.
At Via Santa Marta 18, at SIAM (location to be confirmed), Francesco Pace, with his studio Tellurico, presents the performance Untitled 1B, creating a live collection of wooden objects. SIAM will also host Richard Yasmine, a Lebanese architect and designer, who will not come to Milan but will be streamed from his studio during the whole event.
The performances will always be accessible, with reservations through the platform 5vie.it/events

The platform is also the tool to connect and tell the cultural partners of this edition, particularly the Circuito Lombardo Musei del Design (“Lombardy Design Museums Circuit“) that, this year, is at the center of 5Vie’s thinking on new ways of slow and sustainable tourism. A unique opportunity to discover the workplaces of the Masters of Italian Design, the permanent collections of business museums, and temporary exhibitions.
Connecting Ideas: Design in Progress
A vital element of this edition of Design Week will be the debate, discussion, and exchange of ideas on the major themes of social innovation, sustainability, and new development scenarios. Five talks with architects, designers, researchers, entrepreneurs, curators, and representatives of institutions, will also be streamed.
