PRADA FRAMES

Being Home

Bagatti Valsecchi Museum – April 14, 15 and 16 2024

Prada Frames, the annual multidisciplinary symposium held in parallel with Milan’s Salone del Mobile, is back for 2024. Now in its third year, the multi-day program delves into the complex relationship between the natural environment and design. The symposium, curated by the design and research studio Formafantasma, includes contributions from numerous scholars and professionals from diverse research areas.

 

Entitled Being Home, this year’s event looks at the living environment as a framework to address contemporary challenges. The home is no longer merely a source of comfort; it acts as a shelter and an infrastructure of services. This constantly evolving, dynamic space is where the socio-economic norms that underpin communities have historically taken shape.

 

Admission to Prada Frames Being Home is complimentary, based on availability, upon registration at prada-frames.com.

Location

The extensive program of events will take place from Sunday, April 14 through Tuesday, April 16 at the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum in Milan on Via Gesù 5, a venue that was a home until 1974. This nineteenth-century neo-renaissance house museum, characterized by fifteenth and sixteenth-century objects and furniture, is a unique example of overlapping personal and art history and one of the earliest expressions of Milanese design. For the occasion, it will open for intimate conversations and thematic lectures, taking place simultaneously within its various spaces and creating an ideal, uninterrupted exchange of information between the living room, bedroom, dining room, bathroom, and library.
