The 2019 edition of Milan Design Week paid a heavy tribute to Leonardo DaVinci’s life, work and legacy. There was the installation at Salone del Mobile 2019, DE-SIGNO, organized by curator Davide Rampello, will try to draw a connection between Da Vinci’s engineering and contemporary Italian furniture designers.
There was a huge LED screen that reflected a window that showed the “future” version of Milan, through a skyline that changes according to the time of day. Going inside of the canal itself the visitors were able to enjoy an interactive experience enfolded in image and sound through the use of innovating cutting-edge technology.
