Open Design Italia is a biennial event devoted entirely to self-produced design and small series production, which is a new way to explore national and international self-production, as well as stimulate the growth of a fresh way of looking at design.

Open Design Italia is a trade fair which allows direct contact between designers and end clients to support a praiseworthy way to produce design and promote understanding of its functions.

Open Design Italia highlights the importance of preserving the cultural resources of the territory, increasing and improving the development of creativity and promoting new commercial and economic paths.

Experimenting with the form, and rediscovering the traditional techniques of the area, working with small businesses to achieve high quality products using the best local resources are the key to success of self-production.
