Belgium is Design has partnered with hub.brussels to present a collective exhibition at the Brussels House during Milan Design Week. In line with Isola’s Design is Human theme, the exhibition (un)wrapped, featuring 10 Brussels-based designers, explores how materials and objects can shape not only spaces but also human experiences. From hand-crafted and transformed raw materials to repurposed and recycled elements, the selected designers embrace an approach that balances innovation with tradition, functionality with emotion. Their work highlights the power of design to reconnect with nature, rethink waste as a resource, and create spaces that enhance wellbeing.

At the heart of this exhibition is a commitment to design that serves both people and the planet. Through sustainable sourcing, circular processes, and deep material research, these Brussels-based designers offer a glimpse into a future where objects are not just functional but meaningful, adaptable, and rooted in a sense of responsibility. Conceived as a window display, the scenography, explores the act of unveiling, offering a new perspective on contemporary design.

Eco-design and enhancement of craftsmanship, is the project proposed this year by the 24th edition of Green Island, during Milan Design Week (April 7/14, 2025). An urban route that promises to light up an area of Garibaldi Station in the Isola District with color. This year's main venue for the event will be the Flying Tiger space, with a special project dedicated to the pollinator garden.

In this new edition, the Fly Garden installation is proposed, a garden created especially for the windows of the Flying Tiger Copenhagen concept-store in Garibaldi Station, curated by Claudia Zanfi (Green Island founder).

It is a kind of 'diorama', a small garden for pollinators, in which one can discover a series of handicrafts and design objects made with natural elements, as well as a specific intervention by Atelier del Paesaggio with 3D printed beehives made for solitary bees. This is a journey of eco-design, botany and ever-changing landscapes.
