Design is a system of connections: between forms and meanings, between the past and the future, between analog and digital tools. Every project arises from the meeting of different elements that intertwine to generate new interpretations of reality. But how are these connections built? And how do they influence the way we create and interpret the visual world?
This panel explores design as a practice of relationships, putting different paths, languages, and tools into dialogue to reveal the hidden dynamics behind every creative process.

Award-winning graphic designer, visual artist, and musician from Finland, Leppänen draws inspiration from conceptual art and popular culture. His work is often sparked by a simple concept, a playful idea, or a casual observation. In 2023, he was honored as Finland’s Graphic Designer of the Year.

Form Follows Format
The spread of digital tools has made graphic design an accessible practice for everyone, redefining the role of the designer between cultural mediation and the loss of authority. Silvio Lorusso will discuss how phenomena such as Ugly Design and Defaultism reflect an ecosystem where design is now a widespread skill and part of daily culture.

The Infinite Line
What is the invisible line underlying the creation processes? What guides us, consciously or unconsciously, to take one path or another in the development of each of our projects? Why do we need to search, deepen, multiply, abandon? And then return to that line that weaves our creation biography? Pep Carriò reflects on the journey of creation and how it marks a unique map based on some of his works.
