Design School in Florence

The reasons for a choice

Choosing a course of design in Italy and in Europe that really corresponds to the expectations of the student who for the first time is making contact with a school of Interior and Product Design is not easy.
The offerings by many design schools are varied.
The student should carefully evaluate the academic level as a confirmation of the appropriate quality of the formative offering.

For this reason it is a good idea to orient oneself towards a design school like the Accademia Italiana that thanks to the experience acquired both in the fields of Interior and in Product design over more than a quarter of a century of activities can guarantee design courses recognized on an international level for their high quality.

The links with prestigious universities and international design schools for interior and product design, the contacts with designers and companies who have contributed to the development of Italian design and to research in the international design field are certainly among the most important factors that should be taken into consideration when evaluating an Institute in this specific area.

The Accademia Italiana of art, fashion and design can offer all of this: here the school is lived as a creative laboratory, here wide ranges of interests can be found, design becomes a new language, always in evolution, where creativity and technical knowledge meet.

The students in this school may design and experiment directly and see what it means to be a designer and how the design world works.

The students are involved in projects that include practical laboratories and verification in the field in close connection with the industrial and production sectors.
A design school cannot be a reality, even an excellent one, as an end in itself.

In the design phase the new design objects are evaluated on various fronts, the aesthetics of design, the colors, the functionality, the marketing, the concrete possibilities of production on an industrial level, the environmental impact of the object.
The entire life cycle of the design product is analyzed to foresee the possibilities of recycling.
Design is called upon to contribute not only on an aesthetic but also on an ethical level. Various themes are examined from industrial design to the artistic product, from the production in series to the smaller, semi-artisan production.

The academic course in Interior and product design prepares a flexible professional figure, adapted to function in the contemporary world, prepared to take on the design project in each of its various phases, ready to work in a team.

Over the past years there have been many opportunities for contact with the great masters of design, as the school has often been host to important names in the design field (see the “guest list” published on this site).
Many important designers and design professionals have appreciated the work of the students and the professors of the Accademia Italiana, declaring in various occasions that the Accademia Italiana is certainly one of the best design schools in Italy and in Europe.

The Accademia Italiana, school of art, fashion and design is a true breeding ground of ideas that acts as a forerunner for the affirmation of the new creativity on a worldwide level.
