TORTONADESIGNWEEK2025
The future is not ahead of us: it is everywhere. It lives in memories, in materials that come back into fashion, in gestures that seemed forgotten but were just waiting to be rediscovered. ‘Back to the Future’ is an invitation to go back in order to truly move forward.
Sometimes, in order to innovate, we need to rewind the tape. To rediscover the insights that brought us this far. Asking ourselves what is worth saving and what is ready to be reborn in a new form. It is a double movement: a leap into the past with an eye to tomorrow.
In 2026, Tortona Design Week becomes a time laboratory, where design rekindles memory and transforms it into vision. The streets of the district are filled with objects that tell two stories at once: the tradition that endures and the future that insists.
Because the future is not something you run towards, it is something you recognise.
We have already glimpsed it in yesterday's dreams.
Now is the time to return to them, to finally bring them to light.

ABOUT TDW 2025
Tortona Design Week 2025 introduces “Design rEvolution: Creative Connections”, a theme that celebrates the power of connections in the world of design.
Milan, the epicentre of creativity and design, becomes the stage for a revolution that aims to break traditional boundaries, embracing an inclusive and innovative vision. This revolution is not only a radical transformation, but also a natural evolution that integrates new ideas and technologies, transforming the way we think, create and collaborate.
​
In an era of digitalisation, creative synergies become the engine of change, offering powerful tools for analysing data, predicting trends and generating innovative ideas. Tortona Design Week 2025 will be a crossroads of experiences, where designers, engineers, artists, scientists and entrepreneurs will come together to create innovations that respond to the needs of the present and anticipate those of the future.
​
Particular attention will be paid to new technologies and artificial intelligence, revolutionary elements that are redefining the boundaries of design and stimulating continuous evolution in the sector. This edition aims to be a catalyst for awareness and change, involving new generations and stimulating new forms of expression and collaboration.
​
In a constantly changing world, the revolution in design means embracing innovation and challenging the status quo, evolving towards a more responsible, conscious and connected design. The “Design rEvolution” not only revolutionises the way we create, but also evolves our approach, integrating sustainability, inclusivity and technology into every stage of the creative process.
​
The connections we talk about are not just links, but bridges to a future where design serves humanity, improving quality of life and creating a more beautiful and sustainable world.
