sustainabItaly
teatro del design / milano / 2009

On Thursday the 17th of September 2009 at the “Teatro del Design” in Milan, thanks to Alberto and Sabrina Del Biondi Foundation, took place the event: “Technology and environmental sustainability for the market development”.

In that occasion the “Teatro del Design” welcomed the show “Sustainabitaly”, organized by Elogico and lately showed at the Chelsea Museum of New York. Several companies have attended to this event, using clarification boards and objects, and among these we can mention: Alberto Del Biondi Industria Del Design, Artemide, Casamania, Morellato, Moroso, Horm, Haute Material, Palazzetti.

During the event the Visual Artist Felice Limosani made a live veejay performance that emphasized the topics addressed by the speakers; his performance was shown in three big screens, which were the backdrop of the charming hall of the “Teatro del Design”.

New York and the ICFF were the reason of this return, that was celebrated with a conference organised by Elogico on Sunday 17th May, in the Chelsea Art Museum, where it remained for a month from 16th May to 13th June with the “SUSTAINABItaly” Exhibition.

With this show Elogico wants to illustrate its young history, including the legs in Chicago and in Venice and displaying some Partner-Firms’ products like Artemide, Bosca, Casamania, Haute Material, Horm, Morosi, Vistosi, Zanette. 
​

During the conference, Marco Bettiol, Professor and Director of the Research that V.I.U. (Venice International University) is doing for Elogico about “State of Art” of the Firms “Made in Italy” gave his first results.  At the moment they tell us how Italian Firms are moving in this field more for legislative reasons than for real will to deep and to solve the big problems on sustainability.
Josh Owen, Designer and Professor at the Philadelphia University, presented his SOS stool, created for CASAMANIA, a 100% recyclable product.

​
Matteo Baceda, Director of Modernus, a San Francisco society, explained all the difficulties  the Italian Firms meet in American market, because of all the environmental certifications they ask, essential to obtain factor agreements.

​
Erica Marson, journalist for the magazine Ottagono – partner of the Project - told us how this monthly review has already dealed with sustainability questions, in design and in architecture, during all the past years, maybe the/for first in Italy.



The Exhibition SustainabITALY was under the sponsorship of Italian Culture Institute.  Elogico wants to thank the Director Renato Miracco for the organization and his backing.

5 days of exhibitions, round table discussions and events,
held in Chicago and welcoming participants from around the world.


Held during Chicago's NeoCon fair, Elogico attracted large numbers of attendees both locally and from overseas. Over 1000 visitors attended the exhibition, whilst the round table discussion offered an entertaining and thought provoking Sunday afternoon to over 100 industry professionals. The driving force behind Elogico comes from a series of academics, designers, architects, lobby groups and companies - all who consider ecological sustainability a fundamental part of the future of design.

The event was divided in two principal stages: 
  • A Round table discussion, held on Sunday 8th June in the prestigious Fullerton Hall of the Art Institute of Chicago and featuring international authorities on ecological sustainability, design and architecture
  • An specially curated exhibition at the Chicago Illuminating Company Building showcasing leading Italian companies at the forefront in the movement towards sustainable design.

Elogico – Exhibition.

The evocative Chicago Illuminating Company Building was home to a specially curated exhibition where the companies showed examples of ‘sustainable design’ from their catalogue.
​
Clear evidence that the elegance for which design ‘made in italy’ is famous is not incompatible with a sense of environmental responsibility. All pieces on show were made from a vast range of recycled and recyclable materials. 
Designer Dario Bettiol, artistic director of the exhibition, created a setting inviting visitors to examine the world around them and the objects which populate it - to consider the environmental issues intrinsically linked to their creation, use and disposal. The entire exhibition display was created using recuperated and recycled materials, or materials which have completed ‘life cycle’. Mannequins, packing plastic, old tyres, oil drums and the words of Pablo Neruda welcomed visitors at the entrance to an exhibition dominated by the use of shipping pallets, filtered green light, projections and recycled paper, all framing the latest creations of Italian design in a thought-provoking juxtaposition.
