10 artists. 10 inspirations. 10 young voices. Dolce&Gabbana Casa presents GenD – Generation Designers, the new project entirely dedicated to design that promotes the industry’s talents.
The initiative features 10 international designers who will develop their projects together with the craftsmen who collaborate with Dolce&Gabbana : a meeting between young international artists and the centuries-old art of Made in Italy craftsmanship to generate a new vision of design.

Moved by a strong passion for colours and traditional old-fashioned craft techniques
Sayar&Garibeh – Middle East
A combined vision of experimental designs with a dash of humour using new materials and forms
Chris Wolston – USA
An original postmodern aesthetic, imbued with material fluency and environmental urgency
Ahryun Lee – South Korea
Popping colours with intriguing textures and patterns are the key strengths of her work
Antonio Aricò – Italy
Antonio believes that unmistakable style emerges from the combination of small, local handicrafts
Sara Ricciardi – Italy
