The Trieste Contemporanea Committee is pleased to announce the 15th edition of the International Design Contest with the aim of showcasing the most original contemporary design offerings from the countries of Central Eastern Europe.
The competition is a biennial event established in 1995 by the Italian scholar of aesthetics and design Gillo Dorfles.
The 15th edition of the contest runs in unison with the EU Slovenia-Italy cross-border project for Nova Gorica and Gorizia, designated European Capital of Culture (ECoC) in 2025. In preparing the ECoC event, organising bodies from the two cities (which form one continuous urban area on the border) declare to “share the same commitment: being the European Capital of Borderless Culture”.
