TIGULLIO YOUR NEW DESIGN EXPERIENCE 2023

2023 theme edition: Design; past, present, future.

The first international design event organized in the Gulf of Tigullio ( in the Liguria region, in Italy between the famous area of “5 lands”, and Genoa, in the area of the famous Portofino bay ) takes shape: it is Tigullio Design District – TDD. The first in the world whose soul and target are mainly the whole world of design linked to the sea (from yachts to those who design and produce nautical products and accessories, up to those linked to coastal waterfronts and the marine environment), up to the design sector linked to the outdoor, (from street furniture to outdoor furniture, passing through projects related to the environment, sustainability, green technology, and innovation) and the lifestyle (from fashion design to interior design and much more) very well represented by the Gulf of Tigullio ( Portofino bay all around ) itself, an Italian icon of “dolce vita” (the sweet life) and beautiful landscapes.

A new event both local and international, which despite its first editions has been able to arouse the attention and interest of many insiders, professionals, and enthusiasts. The Tigullio Design District, therefore, presents itself as an opportunity to rediscover the world of design, a new international location for the design system in a unique place, already a historic district of Italian boating and beyond, available primarily for designers, companies, and all local and international fans of this sector.

It, therefore, intends to be a new seafront site for national and international guests of those who love the Italian lifestyle, and a showcase of what is one of the most prestigious Italian territories, the Gulf of Tigullio in Liguria: leading to the enhancement of this as a place of beauty but also of discovery and study, both cultural and commercial; presenting itself as a creative response to the desire for the rebirth of existing local realities – companies, designers, young talent and creatives – for which it can be a source of stimulus and development, but also an opportunity for professionals and business meeting, sharing, human and professional growth.

17 to 23 April 2023, the dates of the event

The next edition will be held from 17 to 23 April 2023. From 17 April onwards by the website; http://www.tigulliodesigndistrict.com, Instagram @tigulliodesigndistrict all the info and multimedia content of all Italian and international guests will be made public. The decision to launch and organize the event every year coinciding with the same dates of the Milan Design Week derives from the desire to combine the Milanese and therefore Italian proposal with a new event to be proposed to the world of international design which will therefore also be able to enjoy our new location, a new “seafront” place to experience Italian design and lifestyle and to welcome all the designer and companies love the “sea” which they can’t enjoy in Milan. The internationally recognized beauties of the Gulf of Tigullio will help promote the extraordinary nature of Italian design and not only by offering a unique setting for insiders in early spring.

Consequently, the Tigullio Design District with its widespread event creates a strategic and innovative axis for Liguria, becoming the first Ligurian international design event, linking Genoa; the seat of the Boat Show at the beginning of autumn, the university, the historic shipyards and much more with the city of La Spezia and 5 lands, another major world nautical venue, placing itself at the center by geographical location, and proposing its glamorous, fresh and disruptive.

Genoa, Gulf of Tigullio and La Spezia; the united Ligurian east which offers itself to the world as the best place for the blue economy and beyond, where it is possible to do research and train, enjoy events related to boating and sea design, experience the Boat Show, design activity, produce excellence and participate in many cultural and/or business activities in a unique place in the world.

Since its first edition, the Tigullio Design District has been able to interest and attract many international, national, and local realities linked to the world of design and beyond there are 18 global Design organizations already partners, 16 Country Ambassadors who will promote TDD world level, each in their own countries.

In Italy, on the other hand, there are 22 organizations and design week partners, as well as 29 local partners in the Gulf of Tigullio and Liguria, 55 media partners / Italian and international press who will follow the event by promoting it worldwide, and finally 16 of the best Italian startups as supporters of the Tigullio Design District.
