5VIE Design week 2026

During Milan Design Week 2026, students from Artistic Design for Business (Bachelor's

Degree) and Product Design (Master's Degree), coordinated by professors Elisabetta Gonzo

and Donata Paruccini, present RAKETOPIA tool-being, a research and

experimentation space where the rake serves as a tool for reflecting on the relationship between the individual and space, action and transformation, gesture and trace left.

The exhibition will be hosted within the Secret Garden Laura Peroni, a quiet and intimate place, an “urban pause” in the heart of a bustling Milan, accessible through the front door of a historical palace of the 18th-century.

The New Urban Landscapes Association, is engaged in the conservation and landscape restoration project, with the aim of activating a small civil green ecosystem.

RAKETOPIA sees, analyzes, and reinvents an object, interpreting it in the rich semantic range of its meanings, functions, and possibilities. The rakes collect, order, and shape physical and conceptual terrain, creating living places that open up spaces of quiet, moments of personal reflection, and a reinterpretation of the landscape. 

The garden that hosts the exhibition is therefore not simply a setting but an ideal environment where the students’ design projects are put into practice.

Brera Academy of Fine Arts was founded in 1776 with the mission of expanding its educational proposals beyond the confines of art. A unique educational concept that takes shape in Brera Palace: the relationship between art and design therefore has historical roots.

Over the years, the educational project has been enriched with three-year and two-year courses in Planning and Design, an educational system of artistic practices with deep humanistic roots.

The prototypes and the exhibition were created in collaboration with Artwood Academy, an educational institution with cutting-edge laboratory facilities, where skills are developed for the wood-furniture production chain.

5VIE supported RAKETOPIA and included it in their network.
