I-MADE

London Design Festival sees the launch of the inaugural edition of I-MADE (Italian Manufacture, Art and Design Exhibition). Curated by Giulio Cappellini and housed in Chelsea’s iconic Saatchi Gallery, I-MADE is London’s first exhibition solely dedicated to Italian design and manufacture.

A true celebration of Italian innovation and craftsmanship, I-MADE draws on the passion and traditions of iconic Italian brands such as Alias, Moroso, Living Divani, Poltronova and Porro, and by displaying works like pieces of art in an open gallery setting, highlights the country’s design excellence.

To complement the main exhibition is Giulio Cappellini’s satellite showcase ‘Take a Seat’ which pays homage to those who have shaped the history of seating design such as De Padova, MDF Italia, Giorgetti and Poltrona Frau.

Alongside its exhibitor programme, I-MADE will host a series of design talks and workshops over the course of the four days drawing on the expertise of esteemed Italian artisans, architects and designers
