To develop expertise and create new talent, and it is now branching out from fashion into design with the opening of its new Milan Design School. Giulio Cappellini and the creative team from Cappellini are also involved in the project and firmly believe that the new school represents the convergence of a culture of industry and training with the city of Milan.

“We still have a lot to create when it comes to design and by listening to the young creative minds from the Istituto Marangoni we will be able to find the ongoing incentive we need to rethink and renew things,” states Giulio Cappellini.

Today a building on the Milan campus is dedicated to teaching subjects related to furniture design, and the 2,500 square-metre multi-level space, which was once a bank, has been designed and furnished under the artistic direction of Giulio Cappellini.

Directed by Massimo Zanatta and coordinated by Malcom McInnes (director of training for the five campuses), the new school will aim to develop the creativity of students by following the concept of high-end designer Italian production and the legacy of Italian craftsmanship, imbuing its teaching with strong aesthetic references to Italian art history, fashion and design.
