Cos’è per te la luce? (What is light for you?)
In 2009, since light does not just illuminate, but also leaves traces, Mario Nanni asked children, as very young designers, what light was for them. This theme led to the collection of ideas that enabled this exhibition and book to take shape. The exhibition, which is continuing its journey after the Milan Triennial and the Explora Museum in Rome, presents 250 projects dedicated to the theme of light, created by young designers from 0 to 14 years old from all over the world.
