DDN HUB 2021: over 25,000 visitors to the Fuorisalone event in 2021
The Fuorisalone 2021 hosted once again DDN HUB, the event organized by DDW Design Diffusion World. Held on Piazza del Cannone, within the Sforza Castle, the 2021 edition welcomed over 25,000 visitors, including professionals and design enthusiasts to an exhibition space of over 2,000 square meters.
The numerous installations illustrated the relationship between man and the surrounding environment
Archetype, a project by VGA Architecs for A.A.T.C., was an apparently monolithic marble architecture that concealed a modular structure. A block of Chiampo Grolla in the rough, worked on some faces, enabled a visual, tactile, and auditory interaction between visitors and the material.
Spatium proposed a new hospitality and wellness concept, and a new way of experiencing outdoor spaces: comfort combined with expressive power and modular personality.
Lastly, street furniture by HWstyle, in collaboration with architecture firm Progetto CMR, allowed for a dialogue between natural materials and greenery
La Fenice greenhouse, the heart of DDN HUB
As usual, the heart of the event was the La Fenice greenhouse, which hosted 15 talks with over 45 speakers. The meetings were an opportunity to explore with the audience themes related to design, architecture, hospitality and sustainability.
