The city of Milan embraced the TALK activities of the DAAily bar and praised the minimal impact of the installations, with its patronage, and included the 4-day-event in the city’s official Milan Design Week 2022 program.

Focus of the city’s 2022 MDW edition is Sustainability and Circularity. Milan Design Week 2022 promotes the development of the culture of design and thought; the circular economy; sustainability and technological innovation, as well as the redesign of public spaces and new urban mobility. The overarching theme of the event ushers in self-reflections over what purposes and uses a design or a product anchors for its user, and how the progress and growth of creatives, designers, and companies have evolved in the last couple of years.
