Abitare il tempo - International home decorating event in Verona

The home living trade fair is celebrating its twentieth anniversary with reflection on the decorative vocabulary used in the domestic landscapes of the third millennium. The home decorating trade fair held in Verona has been telling the story of the home for twenty years now. This anniversary marks the beginning of a new stage in the life cycle of a quality trade fair which combines cultural and creative aspects with more strictly commercial aims, and has helped contribute to the culture of design over the years. Exhibitions, debates, trade surveys and a packed calendar of events held in parallel to the trade fair itself testify to the reflection on the past and plans for the future of a prominent event on the international furniture and design scene. Initiatives planned to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Abitare il Tempo include: "100 volti 100 progetti": 100 installations by 100 authors, all artists, architects and creative artists who have worked with the fair in past years, asked to express their point of view on ways of decorating the home. Presented by Carlo Amadori, Vanni Pasca and Luca Scacchetti. "Galleria degli Exempla": an exhibition comparing prototypes of the past with modern re-releases, presented by Carlo Amadori, Vanni Pasca and Luca Scacchetti. The event also incorporates the fourth edition of the Abitare il Tempo Award and the second edition of "Architetture d'interni": in a setting free of constraints, eight architects with different approaches to design exhibit eight feasible concepts of modern living, sources of inspiration for the public attending the trade fair, drawing on the best furniture and design of our times.
