‘The Pink Cloud’
COFFEE, COOKIES & DEBATE
Hosted by Social label from the Netherlands and Isola design Italy
during Milan Design Week 7 – 13 April 2025
The place in Milan Design Week where we talk about the growing division in our societies. About collaborations with businesses, governments and designers in the applied arts in Europe.
How can we bridge the gap between privileged and disadvantaged people? What can we learn from each other. Come hear different solutions and inspiring examples. It’s time to do things and show that it can be done through designers and collaborations, applied arts in society.
By working together, not only can we learn from each other, we can also make the movement bigger. We can make what we want, we can become who we are! Social label celebrates people as playful beings, and works to cultivate an empathetic society. Design with meaning.
