Italian Interior Design Workshop in Florence, Italy
Our 3-week design workshop takes place in the heart of Florence where participants learn first-hand about the Italian world of design from professionals in Italy. In this course, students will investigate a famous fashion griffe starting from the analysis of its manufacturing, such as accessories and clothes, and to translate its philosophy into a space reflecting its particular atmosphere. The course will include classes, visits and study time to work on a personal project. Visits to museums, studios and workshops and lectures by special guests will introduce design students to the complexities of the development of the interior spaces and to the culture of Italian interior design. |
