SUMMARY:Gorizia Design Week 2025
DESCRIPTION:Gorizia\, European Capital of Culture 2025\, hosts Gorizia Design Week (7-16 March 2025)\, as one of the first events to kick off the cultural program. Its goal is to raise awareness and appreciation of two cities united by a border – Nova Gorica and Gorizia. \nThe chosen theme\, FIBER ART & TEXTILE DESIGN\, highlights the symbolic power of fabric and weaving. Threads represent connection\, unity between people\, and the stitching together of urban areas. This theme reflects the deep bond between the two border cities. \nThe exhibition spreads across both cities. Venues include Go! Center\, Auditorium della Cultura Friulana\, Galleria Agorè\, The Good Store\, and Carinarnica. It presents design objects selected through an open call for designers under 40. Alongside them\, works from young contemporary artists from the IoDeposito ETS creative hub will also be on display. \nDiscover Auckland Design Week 2025 \nOloop Connections \nDesign weaves the scenary \nThe selected works offer a snapshot of today’s design scene. They reflect global trends within the local context. Key trends include: \n•Participatory design\, where creating objects becomes a tool for social connection and personal growth. The carpet-in-progress Connections by Slovenian group Oloop Design offers a perfect example. \n•Conscious design\, which focuses on responsible use of resources\, from material sourcing to product disposal\, while promoting care and longevity. \n•Design and craftsmanship\, which values manual skills and personal engagement. \nThe exhibition also showcases iconic design objects inspired by textiles. Highlights include the Falkland lamp by Bruno Munari\, the Tuta coat hanger by Nendo\, and the Crinoline armchair by Patricia Urquiola. \nDiscover Clerkenwell Design Week  \nCuscino Pizzolongo \nGorizia Design Week: textile art to explore contemporary issues\nThe artists contribute works using fibre art to explore contemporary issues.
