isola design district is a territorial marketing project created by blank, a young milan-based creative agency, with the aim to give visibility to emerging international designers and local artisans, within one of the most lively neighborhoods of milan: isola.

the event is organized every year during milan design week, in collaboration with 24pr&events and emilio lonardo, and involves the entire area with design exhibitions, installations, workshops and talks, that take place within hidden locations, galleries and private courtyards.

next to contemporary architectural excellences such as piazza gae aulenti, bosco verticale, unicredit tower, there is a heritage of hidden places, an incredible landscape of possibilities. within this context, a new system made of typical courtyards, shop windows, indoor and open spaces has been created to showcase projects of international emerging designers and local artisans.
