Today it was a great pleasure to meet with Lorenzo Castellini, director Esterni, and the brain behind the Public Design Festival. The Public Design Festival is made up of many installations around the Zona Tortona. Instead of renting a fancy showroom, each installation uses a parking space, which sends symbolic message on top of the straight-forward experience.
