The ideal opportunity for car designers to explore beyond the automotive industry
Car Design News is hosting a boutique design night with a difference at this year’s Salone Del Mobile in Milan, bringing together talents from multiple disciplines for an evening of illuminating discussions exploring how creative collaboration can deliver a more sustainable world. Car design has always sought inspiration from outside trends, from furniture, fashion and fabrics to lighting, architecture and interiors.
Car Design News together with an expert panel, will explore how car designers can work with and learn from parallel industries, such as furniture and fashion, to move towards sustainability through circular design.

Dinamica
READ BIO
BIO
We produce Dinamica® by applying the principles of the circular economy and ensuring high standards throughout the entire production cycle.
Dinamica® is the made-in-Italy microfibre which is produced in part by using recycled polyester (the recycled content varies according to the product line and application) without the use of organic solvents** but using a water-based process.
**For example, DMF and trichloroethylene that can be used to manufacture synthetic materials.
Care and respect for the environment and the commitment to the circular economy are the values that have guided our production since 1997 and pave the way towards future innovation.
Intuition, entrepreneurship, continuous investment in research and development are the drivers that over the years have enabled us to approach the most demanding sectors of fashion, furniture and in particular the automotive sector.
