The context of Palazzo Litta within Fuorisalone being the ideal pivotal hub for design excellence on an international scale (and as part of Switzerland’s mission of cultural promotion), Pro Helvetia is thrilled to accompany young designers on this springboard of opportunities. By introducing homegrown design talent on Milano’s global stage, Pro Helvetia hopes to not only promote their significant contribution to the world of design, but also facilitate encounters and discussions with leaders of international markets in attendance and enable businesses.
