Russian Design Pavillon 2.0

Florence, Lungarno Collection 20 - 26 may 2013

On the 21 of May the Second edition of Russian Design Pavilion will be inaugurated at the Florence Design Week.

The main feature of the coming Russian Design Pavilion project is its positioning as a showcase of contemporary Russian design abroad which is oriented to the reaction and demand of the European public: what they expect from our designers and which trends of Russian design they are interested in. The format of pavilion is a kind of an experiment which determines the direction of concepts of further exhibitions and development of the Russian design through the residence of designers in Italy and direct dialogue between professionals.

The last year European taste and style played the crucial role in the choice of objects of Russian designers for the Florentine exhibition. However, then the Italian public didn't get enough projects of the New Russian Style, with traditional elements of the Russian culture. Therefore, the new concept of pavilion is based first of all on the traditions of national applied art.

RDP will be held in one of the most prestigious locations of Florence - in Lungarno Collection design district by Salvatore Ferragamo Group. The Russian Design Pavilion 2.0 program includes:

. The showroom of contemporary Russian design (furniture, light, interior accessories, crystal and porcelain ware).
