Among over 200 candidates, the young designer Vittoria Zappa distinguished herself as one of the 15 best participants in the Street Design Furniture project, an initiative that merges sustainability, creativity, and urban regeneration. The project involved emerging designers in the challenge of transforming recycled materials into innovative furniture, destined to live again in cultural and public contexts.
Vittoria captured the jury’s attention with a project that combines functionality and urban poetry, ingeniously using waste materials from Resstende’s production. Textile scraps and technical components were reinterpreted and transformed into contemporary furnishing elements, capable of telling a new vision of reuse.
Her creations were exhibited at the BAU Museum – Bovisa Arte e Urbana, offering the general public the opportunity to experience new forms of interaction with urban space.
For Vittoria, as for all the artists who participated in Street Design Furniture, it was stimulating to rethink forgotten objects and materials as valuable elements, capable of generating beauty and new narratives. A motivation that underscores the importance of responsible design, capable of interpreting the territory and giving it new life.
