Designlink.pl guidebook / Milan / 2012
Designlink.pl
Milan Design Week
17–22 April 2012
Designlink.pl is an annual publication conceived of and published by the Creative Project Foundation since 2012. It contains ideas, insights and opinions about Poland’s design scene and, most importantly, serves as a guide through Polish design genealogy. For example, the Milan Design Week 2012 edition led us through the 17 Polish designer installations and initiatives, distributed between the Salone Fairgrounds and the Fuorisalone locations and included maps, events lists of institutions and other expressions of Polish culture. It also offered a practical guide for a design trip to Poland featuring key destinations, exciting designers and unmissable 2012 events.
Through the foundation’s network, 6,000 guidebooks were distributed among Polish exhibition venues in Milan as well as in the Triennale Museum bookshop; La Rinascente near Duomo; Temporary Museum for New Design in Zona Tortona; at MOST by Tom Dixon in the National Museum of Science & Technology, and at the Lasvit Liquidkristal Ross Lovegrove exhibition in the Triennale Museum.
