"CREATED IN ITALY. The attitude for the impossible"

The exhibition brings together numerous individual stories, in an attempt to outline the quality and characteristics of Italy’s multifarious production. Conspicuous among these national features are a stubborn search for perfection and a renowned spirit of invention, a constant urge to experiment and to force the limits of materials.

Estonian Design and Architecture Schools' Showcase

The display of design and architecture schools, which has become one of the integral parts of the Tallinn Design Festival, is increasingly important in a rapidly changing world, because aren't educational and research institutions the places where the play between experimentation and tradition "saves the day"? In the shade of various global crises, there is an increasing need for the light of youthful and clever design.

Displayed are the works of Estonian Academy of Arts, Pallas University of Applied Sciences, Tallinn University Haapsalu College, University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy and Estonian University of Life Sciences.
