We Will Design is a large experimental laboratory that every year welcomes and promotes projects by designers from all over the world, schools, universities, international institutions and young students.

A path that goes on throughout the year with residencies and international exchanges, where the practices and experiences of design become a tool to read – and sometimes solve – the many contradictions of our present.
A test for projects that see the light and meet the public at the Design Week.
