The event has been purposely created for designers seeking collaboration with manufacturers and retail buyers, who can register for a free trade pass on the website.

Expect to see exhibitors who possess originality and innovation in the areas of Product Design, Graphic Design, Textiles, Lighting, Furniture, Fashion & Accessories and Hand Made Objects.











Located within Design:Made:Trade will be designboom (Milan, Italy) mart. Visitors to designboom mart can purchase intelligent, useful and quirky items between $10 - $100. designboom marts are truly international with designers from over 35 countries personally presenting their wares.

Previously designboom marts have taken place in Tokyo at 100% Design, New York at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair and the Stockholm Furniture Fair among other key design events.

This is an unprecedented opportunity to meet the young avant-garde designers of the future and become familiar with their work.
