The second edition of The Glitch Camp 2025 opens for registrations
Date
28 February 2025
From 7-13 April the first free urban camping during Milano Design Week for students worldwide, THE GLITCH CAMP, is returning for its second edition with double capacity.
Once again located in the "Enrico Cappelli Savorelli” Sports Centre and has the support of Comune di Milano and Milanosport. This initiative wants to ensure that as many international young students as possible can visit the city during Design Week. The intention is to democratize the creative and relational heritage that comes to life in Milan every year over these days, which constitutes the most stimulating and multifaceted period dedicated to Design on an international level.
What's new?
Thanks to the partnership with BASE Milano, The Glitch Camp will also welcome young designers on the terrace of the Cultural Centre in Via Tortona, where the fifth edition of We Will Design, the Design Week at BASE, will be held.
In the run-up to Design Week, a multidisciplinary team of IED students from the Two-Year Master’s Program in Product Design, Visual Communication and Interior Design are at work designing all the communal areas with the aim of transforming a sports pitch into a place of hospitality and temporary accommodation - following the Design X Commons narrative created for the courses. A space where it will be possible to include and host activities, from workshops to a newspaper that will be distributed daily. However, the layout of the Sports Centre will allow guests to use its facilities and communal spaces.
The glitchers will use a campsite equipped with Ferrino tents designed specifically for outdoor activities, such as trekking and camping. Each tent will be supplied with a set of IKEA, products, designed to ensure a comfortable night's sleep and allow visitors to make the most of the busy days spent visiting the Fuorisalone. The pathways of the campsite will be illuminated by Bosch portable lamps, symbolically igniting the spark of creativity while casting a spotlight on the innovative ideas of future designers.
This year, the outdoor and indoor communal spaces, allocated to the camp's daily moments of sharing and fun, will be designed and created by IED students from the Two-Year Master’s Program with the support of IKEA experts, with a focus on the use of second-hand furniture, in line with the brand's commitment to sustainability and the circular economy. Meanwhile, Ferrino will run the upcycling workshop on Saturday 12 April, where camp guests will be able to design and make new objects from old, used camping tents, under the supervision of Ferrino's pattern-makers.
The 2025 edition of the camp is also organised with the support of Piano B, an agency actively engaged in reducing the environmental impact of events through the development of new creativity and sustainable production. This approach resulted in a series of partnerships with brand partners to offer glitchers a unique experience.
The week in which The Glitch Camp is running will also be punctuated by the Public Program Designing Togetherness - proposed by the Fundación Francesco Morelli and designed by the School of the Two-Year Master’s Program in partnership with BASE Milano - which will feature a series of workshops, sports and wellness activities, social events and cultural activities. The complete program and how to register for the different events will be available in the next weeks.
