Milano The School of Design

The School of Design

Milan is synonymous with design, and no wonder. It unites a rich history with a continued vital role in the global design landscape that is always respectful of the past but has an eye towards the future. This unique approach to research and experimentation is also reflected in the Milano Design School, where participants will be challenged with projects from artisanal furniture to high-end inspirational design for interiors, products, and visual graphics. All courses at Istituto Marangoni Milano Design School are underpinned by a contemporary aesthetic approach, and a heavy dose of fashion cross-pollination, thanks to the luxury and fashion found around every corner. This design culture is closely linked with the city’s design district and the community of creative designers who are drawn to study, work and live in this fertile environment, leading to an exclusive mix of cutting-edge design paired with new technologies, and an eye for commerce that successfully combines theory with practice.

A new strategic collaboration with Studio Urquiola

Istituto Marangoni Milano Design announces a new and strategic collaboration with Studio Urquiola, the studio founded and led by Patricia Urquiola—one of the most authoritative and influential figures in the contemporary design scene. This partnership strengthens the Institute’s commitment to offering educational paths that connect students with the most prominent players on the international creative stage.

Mentorship for the Master in Luxury Boutique Hotel Interior Design

At the heart of the collaboration is Studio Urquiola’s involvement in a Mentorship for the Master in Luxury Boutique Hotel Interior Design — a program designed to train professionals capable of creating iconic spaces in the luxury hospitality sector. With an approach that integrates design culture, storytelling, and aesthetic experimentation, students at Istituto Marangoni Milano Design will have the opportunity to engage with a unique and high-level design vision.

A Contest to Capture the Spirit of Places

To mark the collaboration, Istituto Marangoni Milano Design is launching a Contest dedicated to the Master program, inviting applicants to create a video of no more than 40 seconds on the theme “places and stories of unique spaces.” The goal is to authentically and emotionally convey the essence of a place in a visually engaging way—through images, text, voice, or motion graphics.

Projects must feature a clear narrative focus, a strong visual component, and a powerful, memorable conclusion. Talent-based scholarships of up to 50% of the tuition fee for the Master starting in September 2025 at the Milano Design School are up for grabs. The deadline to apply is September 8.

A Shared Vision Between Academia and Industry

Through this initiative, Istituto Marangoni Milano Design reaffirms its role as a leading educational platform that combines academic knowledge, design practice, and direct engagement with the professional world. The involvement of Studio Urquiola offers future interior designers a concrete opportunity to learn from one of the most important studios in contemporary design—developing skills aligned with international industry standards

When Design Meets AI

In the Heart of Milan’s creative district, Istituto Marangoni Milano Design launchesAI for Design”, a short course that directly and effectively responds to the ongoing digital transformation in the design world. Today, artificial intelligence is no longer just a technological frontier—it is a tool that is redefining the way we think, create, and visualize design. Whether in interior, product, or spatial design, the ability to integrate generative tools, prompt design, and algorithmic logic has become a key skill for contemporary designers.

“AI for Design” is conceived as an intensive, hands-on, future-oriented experience. In just a few weeks, participants gain a clear and practical understanding of how AI can support human creativity, boosting the efficiency of the design process without compromising its identity. The goal is not to replace intuition, but to enhance it through new expressive possibilities—powered by data, simulations, and AI-generated images. In this sense, the course becomes a bridge between aesthetics, technology, and critical vision.

A New Mindset for the Designers of Tomorrow

Istituto Marangoni Milano Design further solidifies its role as a hub of cutting-edge training and experimentation, capable of anticipating changes in the design industry. Thanks to close collaboration with professionals, companies, and international organizations, the course is developed within a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment closely aligned with market demands. Participants not only learn practical tools but also engage with real-world cases and emerging professional scenarios.

Throughout the course, participants work on real briefs, applying AI technologies directly within professional contexts. Continuous interaction with industry experts allows them to sharpen their technical skills while developing a strategic perspective on the use of AI in design. The result is a new kind of professional: up-to-date, aware, and ready to actively contribute to the evolution of creative processes.

“AI for Design” is more than just a skills upgrade—it's an invitation to rethink the role of the designer in the digital age. Being able to interact with AI, understanding both its potential and its limits, is now a defining trait for those who aim to design with awareness and compete on a global level. In short, it’s about embracing a new design grammar, where code and creativity speak the same language.
