05 EXHIBITION COMMUNICATION DESIGN

| Milan Design Week 2023 |

Il Salotto di Milano | Corso Venezia, 7 | 17 - 30 April 2023

THE FORMAT

Cleopatra&Antonio – Cairo Milano Bilateral Platform is a phygital format, a program of physical and digital thematic events, a contemporary journey of contents, proposals and projects intended for the B2B e B2C: B2P, B2M, B2Student. The format aims to explore contemporary lifestyle and travel, touching on topics ranging from hospitality to psycho-physical well-being, all in search of the most profitable and mutual opportunities in the field of cultural innovation for business.

MILANO EDITION

The first edition of the format at Milan Design Week 23 started with a question: what would the lifestyle of Cleopatra and Antonio be if they lived in the present day? Within Il Salotto di Milano, we staged the rituals and traditions of contemporary life of the famous couple, contextualizing them in a Milanese setting together with two teenage children, Leo and Raya. The apartment was set up thanks to the collaboration with Italian-Egyptian companies, and the story was the pretext to open new opportunities for culture, business and market between the two shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

WHAT IF...

Cleopatra and Antony were living today what would their lifestyle look like?

COMMUNICATION PROJECT

The entire design of the exhibit – and more generally of the event – was flanked by a digital and physical communication project useful for creating a popularizing and informational system, which are fundamental characters for making interested parties aware of the new format.

The communicative basis of the event was a narrative storytelling that contextualizes Cleopatra and Antonio – as well as their children – within Il Salotto di Milano and the metropolis itself: small tales were therefore developed to stimulate curiosity and interest starting with the Italian-Egyptian origins of the family.

The location where the event was held is Il Salotto di Milano, located in the heart of Milan, at Corso Venezia 7. It is a multisensory space built to bring the best of Italian know-how to the world and now, thanks to the collaboration with Italian-Egyptian realities, it becomes a theater of experiences and a bi-cultural storytelling, narrating a story of beauty, emotions, traditions and cultures.
