Ventura Future

9-14 April 2019
Milan, Italy

Following a successful first edition, Ventura Future returned to Milan Design Week at a brand-new central location for its 2019 edition. From 9 - 14 April visitors of Ventura Future could explore the best of contemporary design from a mix of international academies, designers, brands and labels.

Ventura Future has chosen a close collaboration with the cultural project BASE which is located in the Ex-Ansaldo - a former industrial area in Milan. BASE Milano is a cultural project aimed at promoting innovation, life-long learning and cross-pollination in the creative industries and was our host during Ventura Future. Ventura Future occupied 3500 square metres divided over two floors. And it was full of revolutionary, innovative and ground-breaking design, focused on future visions. Read more about the partnership.

At Ventura Future 2019 we embraced several interesting themes such as food, craftsmanship, technology and some academies. 

Another topic that was thoroughly explored during this edition of Ventura Future was bio-design. With the support of the Embassy and the Consulate-General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Milan and curated by Organisation in Design, the project Future (H)eart(H): 8 Dutch Design visions for a livable earth was on show.

Line Up

Ventura Future is the place to discover the latest explorations of unusual materials. It’s also the playground where sustainable product development starts and where designers bypass the obvious and present us with a hint of absurdity to evoke meaningful conversations. And it serves as the perfect platform for institutions representing the best designers from their country or region, from Slovenia to the East of France, from Thailand to Turin – promoting their cultures and enhancingtrade opportunities. Please let us introduce to you the 83 exhibitors of the second edition of Ventura Future.
