Milan 2010: We've teamed up with Organisation in Design to give away a 25 sq m exhibition space in the heart of the new Ventura Lambrate design district in Milan during the Salone del Mobile next month.
Dezeen is online media partner for Ventura Lambrate, a former industrial district to the east of the city centre with excellent transport links and a range of brand new exhibition spaces. Organisation in Design are the initiators of, and PR agency for the Ventura Lambrate district. The competition winner will benefit from Organisation in Design's full PR package for Ventura Lambrate.
The 25 sq (approx) space is in a brand new building (above and below) at Via Ventura 6, which will also be occupied by innovative young exhibitors including Design Academy Eindhoven, Neils van Eijk & Miriam van der Lubbe, Frederik Roijé and Laikingland. Other exhibitors nearby in Ventura Lambrate include Studio Maarten Baas and Royal College of Art.
The 25sqm space we are offering is marked with a star in the image above and the building's location is marked by a star in the map at the top of this story.
Dezeen and Ventura Lambrate are looking for a designer or group of designers who will compliment this mix of exhibitors and who would otherwise be unable to exhibit in Milan this year.
