MILANO EYEWEAR DESIGN DAY by DaTE – Milano

MONDAY OCTOBER 17TH, 2022 – ADI Design Museum, MILANO

The MEDD will turn the spotlights on Milano, the quintessential design capital, and will be a tangible invitation to reflect on the ten key words that set DaTE apart and have been pivotal to its growth over the years: creativity, innovation, originality, research, energy, cross-fertilization, experimentation, audacity, vitality and flair.
