D’ECO – La voce ai designer

We are designers aware that we have gaps that have nothing to do with technical knowledge, but rather result from a lack of knowledge of humanistic, historical and cultural themes, that we have no weapons to deal with those who manage us and improve our position.
What is the awareness of this profession in society? What defends us?

Why is there competitiveness and individualism? These are the questions we ask ourselves about designers who are able to solve problems of all kinds, but do not interact with each other, only worrying about their survival.


Design creates wealth in society, so it must be given credit by promoting its culture in general and the training of designers who are aware of the potential of the profession.
“D’ECO – La Voce ai designers” is a biannual magazine that through history, technology, and society, opens a debate between designers from all sectors about the state of the profession through surveys, interviews with professionals, debates, articles, and columns,creating a shared awareness to find solutions.
