Design Miami/ and Fendi present “Craft Punk”, a series of design performances at Spazio Fendi during Salone del Mobile.

For the first time, Design Miami/ is curating an event outside its own territories in a unique partnership with FENDI. “Craft Punk” will expand on the Design performance programme that is a highlight of Design Miami/.

“Craft Punk” will transform the 750m2 Spazio FENDI into an active environment for social interaction, unruly intellectual enquiry and action based design processes by inviting emerging designers to work within traditional or hand-made craft methods.

The designers can use discarded materials from the FENDI production process, such as Selleria leather, branded fabrics, plastic decorative elements, and metal hardware.

The Design Performances will bring together music, video, live demonstrations and conversation in celebration of the importance of originality, creativity and freedom of expression in design.

22-24 April 2009
Address: Spazio Fendi, Via Sciesa 3, 20135 Milan
