Articulated in four main sections, interconnected and capable of browsing the territory through its numerous fragilities, Frontiere presents stories of designers, companies, schools and associations that, reacting to the stimuli of the post-millennium reality, are discovering new dimensions in approaching design. In this scenario, new ways of thinking, projecting and producing emerge, represented by a group of designers and companies exploring the creative universe historically present in the territory and proposing to mix it with new realities in communication, distribution, use and reuse typical of the current social system.

A geographical map presents and locates the objects selected and documented in the section Between Design, Crafts and Technological Innovation, from which it is possible to extract an understanding of the productive and distributive territorial diffusion active in Italy. A new panorama emerges, a new design geography previously concentrated in the northern regions of Italy. Reflection on the complex subject of ecological conversion defines the section dedicated to the individual efforts of young designers and small businesses, in search of an alternative projectual path, capable of respecting the human and environmental dimensions.

From new materials and their uses to new recycling projects, based on an alternative concept of material culture, which still incites excessive consumerism, these are projects that strive for a regenerative proposal capable of introducing changes and producing actions and objects that will last through time.
