(Eco) Sistema Design Milano is a research project conceived and funded by Salone del Mobile, under the scientific supervision of the Design Department of Politecnico di Milano. The goal is to analyze the impact of the Salone and Design Week on the city, understanding its future implications and marking the first step toward the creation of a permanent observatory on the Milano Design Week.
• Design in Organization
• Design for Sustainability Transitions
• Strategic Design
This initiative aims to conduct a systematic analysis of a globally unique event that unites two pivotal forces: the Salone del Mobile, an international catalyst and accelerator of business and design culture, and the Milano Design Week, a vibrant panel of events that transforms the city into a global stage for creativity and innovation.
Through extensive data collection and analysis involving numerous data holders and stakeholders, the team developed a complex and multi-dimensional mapping of the Milano Design System. This analysis addressed critical themes such as mobility, the educational system, circularity, and the socio-cultural and economic impact of the event on the city.
