The advertising campaign for the festival was photographed by Mattia Balsamini.

The main exhibition "Design after Darwin. Adapt to adaptation ”takes place in the Palazzo Morosini Gatterburg. How does the designer use interdisciplinary design? What subject is used to transform everyday life? How to rethink past achievements in the context of an unpredictable future?

Photographer Matti Balsamini took pictures of people of different ages in the entourage of Venetian spaces in the spirit of David La Chapelle, who worked in Hollywood.

Venice in this sense is an avant-garde observatory in which the shrinking local population comes into contact with tourists (28 million people a year), university students, foreigners temporarily living in the city, etc.

In the hands of the model - a chair Wassily, design by Marcel Breuer, Cassina.

Venice is an interesting example of the hybrid use of residential, industrial, commercial and cultural spaces. Design.Ve offers the experience of a city that is located at the intersection of art, design and architecture.

Design during the festival is shown in historic buildings, monastic courtyards, boutiques, galleries and unusual places that are mapped to Design.Ve Map.
