Venice and its history are full of continuous interactions between design, art and craftsmanship such us the well known stories of Venini or the eclectic Fortuny. The interplay between expression and project and between visual arts and design have today become a kind of "flotation" among the various fields. From this concept the title LIQUIDI/DISEGNI (liquids/drawings) has been chosen for the theme of Venice Design week.
The fact that Design has extended beyond its own boundaries of knowledge is not a momentary phenomenon. It’s strong roots are supported by many factors such as the the increasing demand of projects on the emotive and sensorial areas in relation to concepts such as health and wellness. Another important factor is the use of design for public services and the relationship between man and machine.
Venice Design Week is strongly committed to the history and culture of Venice. Its goal makes it a unique event in comparison to other weeks or festival dedicated to design: to investigate this new polysemic concept of the project, interacting and in constant evolution.
