“The object beyond the object” is the title of the event organised by Carla Dibbi and Chiara Corbani as part of the “Matter of identity” week of intensive workshops. 25 students from the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti selected 25 objects among those featured in the Archiproducts Milano 2021 exhibition and were challenged to reinterpret their forms, uses and meanings to create and tell new stories. Their creativity was supported by the unmistakable mark of Ego Unconventional Design, which offered students the chance to use products from its CENTO3 collection, including the CENTO3.G pen, winner of the 2021Archiproducts Design Award.
