The 2024 edition of Prada Frames, the annual multidisciplinary symposium curated by Formafantasma that explores the complex relationship between design and the environment, took place during the Salone del Mobile at the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum in Milan on Via Gesù 5, a venue that was a home until 1974.
Entitled Being Home, this year’s event looked at the living environment as a framework to address contemporary challenges. The home is no longer merely a source of comfort; it acts as a shelter and an infrastructure of services. This constantly evolving, dynamic space is where the socio-economic norms that underpin communities have historically taken shape.
During the three days of the symposium, from 14th to 16th April, the sessions included contributions from numerous scholars and professionals from diverse research areas, such as Paola Antonelli, Brigitte Baptiste, Kate Crawford, Jack Halberstam, OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen, Anna Puigjaner, Alice Rawsthorn, Isabella Rossellini, and Françoise Vergès.
For the occasion, the museum opened for intimate conversations and thematic lectures, taking place simultaneously within its various spaces and creating an ideal, uninterrupted exchange of information between the living room, bedroom, dining room, bathroom, and library.
