Design Week in Milan introduces 'Material Alchemists' as part of our Class of '25 on our website
The highly anticipated "Material Alchemists" exhibition is set to captivate audiences during Milan Design Week 2025 at the Triennale di Milano. This exhibition showcases a diverse array of global emerging talents in the field of design, with exhibitors hailing from various locations such as Antwerp, Adelaide, Vancouver, Vietnam, and new additions like London, New York, and Tokyo.
The exhibition design, crafted by DWA Design Studio, is a testament to sustainability and innovation. Utilising Polygood® panels from The Good Plastic Company, a manufacturer of surface materials made from fully recycled and recyclable plastic, the design ensures that all materials used will be repurposed.
The "Material Alchemists" exhibition offers a unique blend of craft, artworks, and high-performing quotidian objects. Among the exhibitors are Abid Javed, Agnes Studio, Ajay Shah, Alfred Lowe, Astraeus Clarke, Dina Nur Satti, Federico Stefanovich, Jiri Krejcirik, Kodai Iwamoto, Lennart Engels, Liam Fleming, Marc Sweeney, Michelle Jiaxin Huang, Miranda Keyes, Morii Design, Olorunfemi Adewuyi, Pauline Leprince, Sheyang Li, Steffany Tran, and Yoon Shun.
The title "Material Alchemists" also pays homage to Wallpaper's Class of 2025, signifying the designers and studios' proclivity for material exploration and expression. The work of these exhibitors often reflects a cultural narrative, making the exhibition a rich tapestry of global design perspectives.
