Paradigm: A pattern or model, an exemplar; a typical instance of something, an example.

It’s time to accept “The New Paradigma” as our currently accepted paradigm is not working anymore. The system is constantly preparing for its doom. Mass-production, continuous consumption, short lifecycles of products bring this end faster…The way we design, project and produce have to change and we can only do it by working “Together As One”.

In an industrial heritage in via Confalonieri 21, collectible design pieces will blend into colours through live know-how performances and exhibitions. Six selected designers will exhibit, build and perform their designs.
The exhibition includes works of Jonathan Bocca, Annalisa Iacopetti, Sarah Roseman, Studio Neue, Pepijn Fabius Clovis, and Tom Jacobs.
