This year’s theme, Together As One, will bring together more designers, creatives and works from design and creative industries world more than ever before, connecting cre- atives all over the world during the 6-days event.

“With Isola, we have always been committed to connecting emerging designers and industry professionals. The physical and digital platforms enhance and support the ra- pid growth of a network that connects people from different fields and disciplines, allowing those who are part of it to know each other, learn and find inspiration.”

Gabriele Cavallaro, Co-founder and CEO of Isola Design Group.

Empowered by the idea of Together As One, Isola Design District collaborates with more than 250 international designers and design studios, local galleries and workshops, in over 40 locations along the streets of one of the most lively neighborhoods in town to join forces to inspire and create impact.

Starting from a design neighborhood to the world.

Many of the exhibitions and installations are curated by Isola, giving the stage to the most exciting projects of the brightest talents from the Isola Design Community.

Moreover, during the festival, the events, launches, talks, workshops and gatherings will add even more colour to the Milan Design Week 2022.

The festival will enable all to meet the best talents and the most innovative projects of its Community. Moreover, during the event, the renewed digital platform isola.design will allow designers to experience a new way of making themselves known, and visitors to discover extra information about the projects and, in some cases, to buy them, directly from their smartphones.
