Design in a Real World celebrates the connection between design and the Tuscan territory, a destination from which many of the participating designers originate, and one historically synonymous with a rich craftsmanship legacy. As evoked by the exhibition’s title, the territory – the ‘real world’ – is contrasted with the constructed, artificial, and often frenetic identity of the city and industrial design. The exhibition, therefore, focuses on a slower, localised, and more reflective artisanal perspective that characterises both the designers’ works and life outside the populated urban centres.
