(VEE) ITALIAN DESIGN DAY TO BE CELEBRATED IN KIEV

(VELINO) Roma, 9 Feb - Italian Design Day, the first world event dedicated to Italian design will be celebrated in Kiev on 17 February. The Kiev event, organised by the Italian Embassy, the Italian Cultural Institute and the Italian Trade Agency (ICE), with the participation of the European Design Institute (IED), is taking place only a few days ahead of the official celebration scheduled for 2 March in Italy and in 100 cities across the world. The event will be hosted inside the auditorium set up for the Interior Mebel trade fair at Kiev's International Exhibition Centre. It will be attended by Jacopo Bargellini, architect, designer and professor at the European Design Institute (IED), who will illustrate the evolution of Italian design from the post-war period to date, the specific traits which characterise it, and the reasons for a success involving culture, art, lifestyles and communication. Italian design represents a global benchmark in all major production sectors. Interior Mebel hosts many Italian firms every year, with 50 exhibitors participating this year to showcase their products. vel
