Summer Course: Interior and Showroom Design at IED Milano

  Italy

• Milan: 
Milan

Term: Summer 

Description: Milan is the heart of the Italian Design System: this is where cultural activities related to the evolution of design take place, where the furniture system's most celebrated businesses maintain a presence and where the most important designers from all over the world operate.

This course therefore aims to introduce its participants to this System by informing them about current trends in interior design and working with them to design high-end showrooms and shops with a substantial expressive value that use emotions and sensorial perception to interpret the brand and product values of the firms that have put the Made in Italy phenomenon firmly on the map.

The project focuses on the showroom's layout, on the arrangement and illumination of the products and on the materials, colours and finishes used to generate the space and the decor elements.

The course takes the form both of lectures held by practicing designers and of analytical visits to showrooms and points of sale.

Students also have an opportunity to take part in several workshops, where they can develop projects under the guidance of practicing professional designers.

Highlights: This course is the perfect solution for those who wish to combine their spare time with a stimulating and new cultural experience.
