Critical Made in Italy Part 1: Design (10/13)

The fact that the Made in Italy is the third most popular brand in the world after Coca Cola and Visa – as an unverified yet much-quoted source on the Internet claims – speaks to the unrivaled role of Italian products in the current market as embodiments of good taste. Yet, the concept of the Made in Italy and the practices attached to it go well beyond the manufacturing, distribution and consumption of products within an economic perspective.

On Oct. 13, Daniele Balicco, editor of a 2016 collection of essays entitled Made in Italy and Culture, and Wava Carpenter, director of content at Pamono, an online magazine and marketplace dedicated to distinctive design objects, addressed the topic of the Made in Italy brand through a critical lens and with a focus on Italian design. This event is the first of the “Critical Made in Italy” series.
