Fuorisalone Digital, an all-digital event for Milano Design Week

As a result of the current pandemic, numerous events and initiatives in our cities and regions have been cancelled or reorganised to be held in digital form. Fuorisalone Digital, the digital event created for Milano Design Week, not only overcomes all the logistical issues connected with travel and gatherings at the current time, replacing the cancelled 2020 edition, but proposes a new way of getting the message of Fuorisalone across in the future. The intention is for the new platform and four new formats launched for the 2020 edition to continue alongside the traditional event held with the involvement of the entire city of Milan. A number of digital events offer previews of what will be happening in a few months’ time, such as the opening of the Iris Ceramica Group’s new showroom in Milan.
