This year unduetrestella DESIGN WEEK presents projects who explain design not only as an esthetic but also a functional solution to grow.
The claim of this edition is #DontStop, do not stop being a child because childhood is, and will be forever, the time for playing and imagination.
But not only. Unduetrestella believes design for kids can be a key player to help them becoming adults formidable and make them grow aware towards issues of our present.
Of course Paul & Paula supports the exhibition and project and we are happy to share some of our personal highlights that will be presented by Paola from unduetrestella. I really wish we could be there and see it live. If you are in Milano or around – make sure you go:
