On March 23, 2022, the dynamic community of Italian designers, architects, entrepreneurs, professionals, and companies engaged in Cambodia’s design and architectural solutions came “virtually” together as testimonials to celebrate Italian Design Day 2022 (IDD 2022).
Italian Design Day is a global initiative through which the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation aims to promote the best of Italian furniture, architecture, and design abroad.
IDD 2022 was organized first time in Cambodia by Luisa Gentile, Advisor at the ICBA, and Carlo Santoro, Professor at the American University of Phnom Penh, around this year’s central themes, “Regeneration for a sustainable future and the future of design in Cambodia“.
Luisa Gentile said, “We wanted to promote the Italian creativity and acknowledge the amazing contribution of Italian designers, architects, and entrepreneurs in the furniture, fashion, design, and architecture space here in the Kingdom.
