PERONI NASTRO AZZURRO CELEBRATES THE VALUES AND FUTURE OF ITALIAN DESIGN THROUGH ITS “PERONI COLLABORAZIONI TALKS”

Peroni Nastro Azzurro’s Collaborazioni Talks bring together two of Italy’s most iconic designers to celebrate its unique values and discuss the future of Italian design starting with a personalised talk with Fabio Novembre


Italy is globally renowned for its ability to consistently create some of the most iconic pieces of design. Indeed, the country boasts a long list of well known designers who have become global names in their own right including Alessi, Mendini and Piano. Their success has been built from a unique set of values and traditions that result in beautiful, stylish yet ultimately practical products.

The Peroni Collaborazioni Talks will celebrate these values and traditions of craftsmanship, passion and attention to detail so often found in Italian culture and trends by bringing together two of Italy’s most influential designers who will also share their view on what lies ahead for the future for Italian design, starting with an evening with Fabio Novembre.

The evening will offer a unique insight into the personal reflections and anecdotes from Fabio himself, one of Italy’s most innovative and influential designers, whilst creating and encouraging an audience discussion and debate around the importance of Italian design, its values and the people and trends that will shape its future.

Novembre’s work has played a pivotal role in the development of Italian design and in the past he has worked with leading Italian design brands from Cappellini to Casamania. His first commissioned architectural project was the Anna Molinari Blumarine shop in Hong Kong in 1994 and previous projects also include the unique design and architecture of the SHU bar in Milan and the Stuart Weitzman shoe store in Rome. The talk will allow a rare insight into his work and will address his forecast for the future of Italian design and his thoughts on the new designers that might shape that future.

Jason Maling, Marketing Director at Miller Brands UK commented:
“Peroni Nastro Azzurro has always exemplified the traditions of Italian craftsmanship, passion and flair. It naturally reflects the unique style that permeates Italian culture, where these values are reinforced with sublime attention to detail. With this year marking such importance for Italians, Peroni Nastro Azzurro wanted to honour Italy’s creative futures so we’re delighted to be working with Fabio Novembre who we feel shares our values. We’re looking forward to an enlightening evening of debate and discussion celebrating Italian design values whilst also recognising Italy’s contribution to design and asking provocative questions about its future.”

Peroni Collaborazioni will be hosted by renowned design journalist and critic Marcus Fairs and is the first in a series of talks which will examine the past and future of Italian style and design.

Each of the talks will be streamed live on Dezeen Online
