In Anacapri, the design fair EDIT arrives

In estate ad Anacapri arriva la fiera del design EDIT

A new design fair format called 'Esclusivo|Inclusivo' curated by EDIT Napoli is taking place at Villa Rosa in Anacapri, Capri, until July 12. The event transforms the historic villa into a contemporary cultural hub, featuring a selection of international designers chosen by Domitilla Dardi and Emilia Petruccelli. Participants include brands and studios such as AG Space Atelier, Bottega Vazzoler, cc-tapis, Poltronova, and Formafantasma, who will also host a talk on July 4. The exhibition integrates design into the villa's domestic spaces, with porcelain, textiles, and innovative materials displayed in a lived-in environment rather than a traditional show. A parallel exhibition of Patricia Urquiola's Hybrida collection for EDIT Napoli is set at the Jumeirah Capri Palace, alongside a program of talks on manufacturing exclusivity and inclusivity.

"There are no minor or feminine arts." Domitilla Dardi explains this in her new book

“Non esistono arti minori o femminili”. Ce lo spiega Domitilla Dardi nel suo nuovo libro

Domitilla Dardi's new book "Cucire Universi" (published by Einaudi) presents a counter-history of design, focusing on techniques traditionally dismissed as "feminine" and "minor"—such as sewing, ceramics, cooking, and knitting. The book argues that these practices have been systematically undervalued by official art histories, yet have contributed significantly to technologically advanced research fields. Dardi uses real historical figures like Emily Dickinson to illustrate how women's creative and scientific talents were channeled into these marginalized domains, and she calls for overcoming the dualistic view that separates art from craft.

Transforming (and Transforming) to Survive. Interview with sculptor and designer Tadeáš Podracký

Trasformarsi (e trasformare) per sopravvivere. Intervista allo scultore e designer Tadeáš Podracký

Czech sculptor and designer Tadeáš Podracký (b. 1989) presents new works during Milan Design Week 2026, including three carved wooden lamps and sculptures exploring hybridity. The pieces are inspired by the rare Sorbus sudetica tree, a hybrid species that has survived for nearly 20,000 years through asexual reproduction. The exhibition, titled "Before the Shape Appears," is produced by 5 Vie and hosted at Cavallerizze in Via Olona. Podracký's practice bridges fine art and collectible design, using techniques such as carving, waxing, patination, and pigment infusion to create objects that appear to have grown organically.
