Now in its fourth edition, Prada Frames is the annual symposium based on the belief that intellectual inquiry and cross-disciplinary dialogue can act as vessels for progress. Curated by design and research studio Formafantasma, the event runs parallel to Milan’s Salone del Mobile.
With a focus on ideas rather than product, the initiative sits at the intersection of design, culture, and society, exploring contemporary issues through a multiplicity of perspectives to convey and enhance complexities rather than taming them. Under the title In Transit, the 2025 edition offers a prismatic gaze on infrastructure as a dynamic and multifaceted system that enables, restricts, and shapes movement, whether of people, goods, data, or power.

About
Prada Frames
Prada Frames is a project founded to provide the opportunity to collectively explore and share ideas, with a scientific yet educational and informative approach. The first symposium in 2022, On Forest, featured a series of sessions on the forest environment, analyzing the logics that govern the modern timber industry and extending this thought to the role of design and science as agents of change. The following year, the second symposium, Materials in Flux, held first in Hong Kong then in Milan, focused on the ethical and aesthetic implications of materials. It explored the concept of waste as an endlessly changing entity, based on research by anthropologist Tim Ingold.
