The short films tell the experience of architecture, color and design within residential spaces. An event not to be missed for those interested in the start of the fifth edition of Bologna Design Week.

Giorgio Morandi and Morandi-esque: his exhibition universe

Morandi-esque is a commercial where you can view the works in digital printing and the models in 3D made by the students who took part in the workshop.
