Steam Factory. Love Design® returns from 11 to 13 October
Sixty-seven brands took part in the ninth edition of the AIRC and ADI Foundation biennial with over 3 thousand objects: the funds raised will go to three scholarships for young researchers
Milan, October 10 2019 – From 11 to 13 October, Love Design® returns to the Fabbrica del Vapore Cathedral, a special biennial event, a meeting point between design enthusiasts, furniture companies and the high scientific community, organized by the AIRC Foundation for cancer research and ADI, Association for Industrial Design.
“Once again Fabbrica del Vapore opens to host Love Design®, certainly an event of great quality which brings with it an important message – declares the deputy mayor Anna Scavuzzo –, capable of combining two fundamental elements of our city: design and solidarity. An appointment accompanied by high-profile scientific supervision, which allows everyone - starting from the youngest, to whom the Fabbrica del Vapore is primarily aimed - to receive fundamental health information. A clear and direct invitation to prevention for everyone."
From the first edition in 2003 to today, Love Design® has distributed almost 20 thousand design objects made available by 520 companies, for a total of over 2 million euros allocated to the best scientific research. The funds that will be raised from this ninth edition of Love Design® will be allocated to three three-year scholarships, aimed at as many young researchers, each of 75 thousand euros. The young talents will be selected through AIRC's strict evaluation process, which guarantees meritocracy, rigor and transparency. The researchers will commit their energies and intelligence in the field of tumors that predominantly affect the female universe. There are 67 design brands that have joined the 2019 edition of Love Design® with over 3 thousand objects.
Love Design® is deliberately scheduled in October, the month dedicated to breast cancer prevention, as part of the Pink Ribbon campaign promoted by AIRC to raise awareness among women of the importance of prevention and early diagnosis and to raise funds for research on breast cancer. In Italy alone, 53.000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer per year, which equates to approximately 145 diagnoses per day.
