Istituto Europeo di Design, design school in Italy, Spain and Brazil
The Istituto Europeo di Design is a private school in Milan that teaches students in various fields including fashion, visual arts, communication, interior and product design, and filmmaking. The school uses specially designed spaces with classrooms, labs, and workshops where students work on real projects and develop their skills through hands-on practice.
The school was founded to be part of Milan's creative environment, which has been a center of Italian craftsmanship and design since the 1950s. It grew alongside the city and its famous brands that became known worldwide, and has since trained professionals who carry forward Italy's tradition of quality and skilled work.
The school sits in a city where craftsmanship and design are woven into daily life, with shops and studios constantly showing how beauty and function work together. Students, teachers, and professionals here share ideas and collaborate on projects that become part of Milan's creative flow.
The school is accessible through a good network of public transport, including buses, metro lines, and trams, as well as bike sharing and the city's two major airports. Students can easily explore Milan's neighborhoods and participate in events that happen throughout the year, especially during major design and fashion festivals.
The school displays student work at international design events like Dutch Design Week and Milan Design Week, where projects like Rural Futures present new perspectives on sustainable development in rural areas. This international exchange brings together ideas from students in Japan, Vietnam, and other countries, connecting Milan's local creativity with global thinking.
