"FOR TOMORROW"
Design at the ECOLE NATIONALE SUPÉRIEURE DES ARTS DÉCORATIFS ( ENSAD Paris) in Milan.
In partnership with Designer’s Days 2012. Supported by the Institut français Milano and in collaboration with Tarkett.

This exhibition sets out to illustrate, through a selection of works by students and recent graduates, the investigations of young designers on the future of design and contemporary creation. The pieces on display were selected from the four design disciplines taught at the School: Product Design, Fashion Design, Textile and Texture Design, and Multimedia/Graphic Design.
This exhibition will provide an opportunity to discover the strength, creativity and sensitivity of a new generation of designers and artists who engage with the issues of their time. "FOR TOMORROW" exhibits many aspects of the conceptual, artistic and professional innovations of the School’s creative output.

Scenographer: Nathalie Crinière
