Milan, the capital of design
It’s 6.30 p.m.: Macef is closing up and Milan is just starting its day.
It’s not by chance that Macef takes place right in
Milan.
Milan is one of the world's design capitals.
The home city and place of work of great designers
such as Gio Ponti, Bruno Munari, Joe Colombo, Piergiacomo and Achille
Castiglioni, and many more. Here are some suggestions to experience the way of
