Beyond Aesthetics: Italian Design for the Future
For the fourth consecutive year, Italian Design Week once again transformed Washington D.C. into a vibrant stage for creativity, innovation, and the enduring excellence of Italian brands. This year’s edition, themed “Beyond Aesthetics: Italian Design for the Future,” was orchestrated by IMARK under Roberta Marcenaro Lyon’s leadership, and it delivered a visionary platform where Italian designers and American innovators could connect, collaborate, and inspire one another.
Throughout the week, attendees were treated to a dynamic showcase of Italian ingenuity—where tradition meets cutting-edge technology, and artistry blends seamlessly with enterprise. The event culminated on October 16th in a multisensory celebration that left a lasting impression on all who attended. The evening featured the culinary mastery of three-Michelin-starred Chef Paco Morales, whose creations delighted the palate of the attendees, and a captivating performance by renowned pianist and composer Cristiana Pegoraro.
A highlight of the week was the recognition of outstanding individuals whose work exemplifies the spirit of Italian design and innovation. We were proud to honor the following champions:
• Cristiana Pegoraro: Champion Piano Virtuoso
• PM Cristiano Leone: Champion Cultural Leadership
• Commander Nicasio Falica: Champion Heritage
• Licia Mattioli: Champion Jewelry Design
• Eraldo Ferracci: Champion Motorcycle Design
• Elisabetta Fabri: Champion Hospitality
• Mattia Cavanna: Champion Innovation and Technology
• Valerio Molinari: Champion Sustainability
• Paco Morales: Champion Food Styling
Their achievements remind us that Italian design is not just about aesthetics—it is about vision, sustainability, and the power to shape the future.
As Italian Design Week continues to grow, it remains a testament to the enduring partnership between Italy and the United States, and to the limitless possibilities that arise when creativity and innovation come together.
“Italian Design Week was created to serve as a permanent bridge between Italy and the United States as an integrated platform of excellence,”
Roberta
Marcenaro Lyon, Founder of IDW.
