After the success we achieved in September 2020 with the first edition of 5VIE D'N'A - Design 'n' Art for a Better World, 5VIE presents the format again for the second edition in April 2021. It will be a digital event on the platform 5vie.it, which will be structured in a schedule of digital exhibitions and 2 thematic Forums, from 12th to 18th April, within the framework of Milano Design City 2021.

With 5VIE D'N'A we inaugurate the Design Program for 2021 by 5VIE, a project in which the designers who join the program will be accompanied from April until September, with the objective of being represented with activities and exhibitions in the territory during Milano Design Week (5-10 September 2021).

THE PLATFORM

The platform already launched on the occasion of 5VIE D'N'A 2020 has been revised, implemented and expanded, as a result of the experience and feedback received.

April will be the occasion to inaugurate the platform 2.0, which will feature, compared to the first version, an optimisation of the UI, new functions and new sections, in addition to the already published features of the digital exhibition and live streaming.

The innovative networking functions will bring the experience of attending a digital event even closer to that of participating in a live event. By creating a business profile, it will be possible to edit and exchange virtual business cards with other event participants, see who is active in the various digital stands, initiate private chats and organise one-to-one video meetings with event exhibitors. Networking functions will be available throughout 5VIE D'N'A.

The business profile will also allow access to private events in a dedicated area of the platform.

GALLERIA

In April GALLERIA will be inaugurated: a permanent digital space where the most significant projects selected by 5VIE will be exhibited from among those of the designers with whom we collaborate. GALLERIA will be characterised by the editorial cut of research, with the aim of becoming a collector of excellences in the fields of art, design and architecture.

Among the designers exhibiting their projects: Martina Guandalini, Kasja Melchior, Sara Ricciardi, Tellurico, Maryam Turkey, Richard Yasmine.

THE EXHIBITIONS

The platform will also host a selection of digital exhibitors that will be complemented in anticipation of the Design Week in September. Also this year the selection of 5VIE will focus mainly on independent studios and designers, on the valorisation of unique and collectible pieces, on the contamination with the spheres of art and craftsmanship.
