MADE IN: Future Legacies

MADE IN Platform addresses the preservation and exploration of knowledge found in the rich legacy of European craftsmanship and delve into new approaches to thinking through contemporary art and design practices.

Book design reflects its collaborative and process-based spirit. It embraces diversity, holding many voices and perspectives together without reducing them to uniformity. Drawing on the Knowledge Atlas — the evolving map of crafts, materials, and processes that underpins the MADE IN Platform — the design integrates its visual language through fragments, textures, and patterns that connect research, publication, and exhibition. Here, design is more than form: it becomes a way of thinking, editing, and caring — a structure that gives space to dialogue, rhythm, and coexistence.
