Or, Lambrate isn’t Ventura anymore. It depends.
Anyway, Ventura Projects and Organisation in Design say bye to Lambrate, to choose other locations.
This year, it presents two big projects: Ventura Centrale and Ventura Future.
VENTURA CENTRALE
This is the second edition of Ventura Centrale, organized around the abadoned warehouses of the Central Station. Key words are contemporary, design and the right mixture between new projects and the already famous ones.
Here’s a preview:

Seven figures, realized through put-together chairs and tables, are suspended in the spaces of Ventura Centrale. The title is “Riesen mit Zwerg” o “Giants with Dwarf”. The project has been created by the architect and designer Stephan Hürlemann, while the chairs and the tables belong to the historical Swiss collector Horgenglarus.

It develops along three principle locations; first of all, FutureDome, the elegant, art-nouveau general quarter, secondly via Donatello’s Loft and, lastly, the former pharmacy’s faculty.
