The Italian Cultural Institute, in collaboration with the Beirut Design Week 2017, organize a workshop by the Italian designer Gabriele Chiave, which will take place on Monday, May 22nd, from 5 pm to 8 pm at KED (near the Forum of Beirut). After a short presentation, Chiave will talk about the Italian design company Alessi. He will then analyze as case study the latest collection from Marcel Wanders studio, the Alessi Circus, in order to introduce the theme Emotional design. The last part of the workshop will be dedicated to invite participants, through any means of expression (3d, sketch, texts, graphic…) to use their cultural background and experience to create a story and concept design with a high emotional impact, related to Alessi or any other design-driven company.
