After 10 successful editions and while fully prepared for the 11th edition of Ventura Projects during Milan Design Week 2020, Ventura Projects is unfortunately no longer feasible. Both Ventura Centrale and Ventura Future had to be cancelled due to the global COVID-19 outbreak. Unfortunately, these cancellations and other cancellations for future Ventura Projects events have had a massive and irreversible impact on the company.
Margriet Vollenberg, founder and art director of Ventura Projects, sadly had to make the impossible and heartbreaking decision to stop all Ventura Projects activities. This means that after many successful editions the Ventura Projects events, organised by Organisation in Design, will no longer be on show during Milan Design Week and other international design events in the future.
About Ventura Projects

The last few weeks have been a roller coaster for all of us. Who could have imagined after a successful Ventura Projects press conference in Milan on 13 February that the world would completely change in such a short period of time? Due to the severe outbreak of COVID-19, which is still affecting Italy and the rest of the world, the main furniture fair Salone del Mobile Milano was officially suspended by I Saloni on Friday 27 March 2020. Also, the upcoming editions of Ventura Future and Ventura Centrale – that were supposed to take place from 16-21 June 2020 in Milan – will not go on.
