1) Brera Design Week:
Among shows and installations, the streets Brera, the Design District most renowned and attentive to innovations, are reanimated by more than 80 points of interest, from showrooms to temporary locations. Don’t miss the eco-friendly installation of Franke in its flagship store at Via Pontaccio 18 called “Natural Capital”. The project created by CRA – Carlo Ratti Associati for Eni, recreates a three-dimensional view of the Orto Botanico (Botanical Gardens) of Brera at Via Fratelli Gabba 10.
