The Art of Sustainable Design: Diasen and Giulio Iacchetti at Milan Design Week 2024

Milan Design Week 2024, a cornerstone event in the world of design, recently wrapped up, leaving attendees and participants invigorated by its showcase of innovation and creativity. 

Il bosco in una stanza (The Forest in the Room, above), by industrial designer Giulio Iacchetti. is a tribute to the Mediterranean and the cork ecosystem. Using Diasen's biophilic and natural materials, it recreated the essence of a cork grove, providing visitors with a sensory experience that forged deep connections with the natural environment.

2024 marked the first year for Diasen, Eco-Tech Canada's main production partner, at Milano Design Week.

Diego Mingarelli, (pictured above with artist Giulio Iacchetti) founder and president of Diasen, shared his enthusiasm: “During Milan Design Week 2024, we had the honor of presenting not only our innovative solutions but also our vision for a future of design that prioritizes natural and regenerative materials. This unforgettable experience inspires and motivates us to continue with ever greater determination on our path to innovate and promote a vision of design that harmonizes functionality, beauty, nature, and comfort.”

"As Diasen's Canadian partner, it's exciting to see the company work with such an esteemed artist; presenting a truly modern take on an ancient material." says, Eco-Tech CEO Jason Nelson.

Diasen's successful debut is just the beginning of its journey in the realm of design, promising a future where sustainability and functionality move hand in hand towards a more aesthetic and eco-conscious world.
