Container 02: not to be missed during Design Week

CONTAINER. THE TOOL OF EXCELLENCE FOR FREIGHT TRANSPORT IS TRANSFORMED INTO AN UNEXPECTED SPACE FOR REFLECTION ON THE WORK OF CONTEMPORARY INTERIOR DESIGNERS, SET IN THE HEART OF THE OLD PORT.

A REVOLUTIONARY EXHIBITION EXPERIENCE.

The initiative invited designers to reinterpret the concept of the “mobile container” as an expression of their design vision, turning each module into a manifesto of creativity and innovation. Each participating studio was assigned a container to translate their idea into a unique and experimental experiential space.

The second edition represents a significant turning point: the heart of the exhibition moves from the central Piazza Matteotti to the Darsena, in the areas adjacent to the “Galata” Sea Museum. This new location marks a return to the city’s origins, enhancing the former docks with a scenographic solution immersed in the maritime atmosphere.

AN OPEN-AIR INSTALLATION IN THE OLD PORT

The exhibition is based on the decontextualisation of the container, placed inside the inner courtyard of the Galata Museum, accessible through an evocative path facing the sea. During Genoa Design Week, this open-air installation will become not only a collective exhibition, but also a place for reflection, meeting and experimentation.

For the “CONTAINER 02” edition, under the curatorship of Simona Finessi, more than 20 designers have been selected who, individually or in groups, give life to 13 original interpretations, transforming the exhibition area into a fascinating design story.
