The new “ism” of the contemporary design
PLUST Collection on the occasion of the Milan Design Week presents ‘Plasticism’: an event born from the concept of JVLT/JoeVelluto about mutations, reflections and experimentations around plastic.
Chris Kabel, El Ultimo Grito, Laudani&Romanelli, Alberto Brogliato and JVLT/JoeVelluto are called to investigate the manufacturing processes of the rotational moulding for the production of a collection inspired by renewal and transformation.
