Since its inception, the exhibition has promoted design that values quality over quantity, paying great attention to exploring the creative process and the use of materials in the search for sophisticated expressiveness.
The event, organized in collaboration with the Assessorato alla Cultura e al Turismo del Comune di Napoli, gives voice to designers, manufacturers and artisans, with a focus on territoriality rather than globalization, and a spotlight on a transparent supply chain. It collects under the same label a selection of designers, companies and artisans who in their creative process make use of high quality production methods, recovering the ancient knowledge of doing to give life to contemporary ideas.
