“Educated to be an engineer, I was very hungry to understand the Italian ability of translating poetry into its products, and Domus Academy is probably one of the best design banquets I have ever attended. Being in touch with true masters of design, important international artists, and surrounded by very talented co-students, it all contributed to opening my hard shelled mind set like a coconut.”
