DesignCircus® Project by studioEpis Press Office Laura Alberti +39 02.48007628 Via Giuseppe Frua 21/8 20146 Milano ITALY hello@designcircus.eu designcircus.eu
Now more than ever, with the dedicated online sales sites, the designer is encouraged to get involved investing his own money on his creations. His creativity has great outburst and products free from any commercial rule come to life. Without forgetting that, once finished the Salone del Mobile, in Milan we no longer speak of design until the following year. DesignCircus is born in the light of all this. The first date will take place on 25th and 26th October 2014 in the prestigious location of Spazio Dante 14. Here, 20 designers carefully selected will be know by public, buyers and press thanks to the collaboration of a team of professionals, leaded by the artist Stefano Epis and the journalist Laura Alberti. The goal? To create a unique event that gives proper space to all those designers who made a new frontier of self-creative. DesignCircus will be a very important reality to the Milanese scene during Expo 2015, when many dates will take place in different locations of the city. The October date marks only the beginning of this new project that wants to stage the extraordinary world of self-creative.
DesignCircus gives voice to Panda ONLUS
