Milan Design Week 2025, themed "Mondi Connessi: Designing for a
Connected World," will take place from April 7-13. Three subjects - person,
technology and nature -, created through AI, interpret and narrate this
year's theme, by Silvia Badalotti. Circularity emerges as the central theme
of the campaign: mankind creates technology, technology impacts nature,
and damage to nature inevitably affects mankind.
