Gaggenau at Milano Design Week 2022

with Dezeen and Thirty Seconds Milano

Dezeen teamed up with luxury kitchen appliances brand Gaggenau to host a talk about the design world’s response to the coronavirus pandemic with Dara Huang and Michel Rojkind during Milan design week 2022.

Moderated by Dezeen’s editor-at-large Amy Frearson, the talk explored how design responds to crises with innovation, how designers can foster resilience in difficult times, and the increased interest in local manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and the design of communal and interior spaces in the past two years.

The panel featured architect and designer Huang, who is founder of Design Haus Liberty, and Rojkind, founder of Mexico-based architecture firm Rojkind Arquitectos.

The talk took place in the conservatory of Milan’s historic Villa Necchi Campiglio, where the brand has created a 360-square-foot interactive installation called A Statement of Form to showcase its highest-grade appliances.
