This year, Interni magazine and its director Gilda Bojardi (who, in 1990, invented FuoriSalone, a parallel event to the Furniture Fair) bring a series of installations that value human beings, environmental sustainability, respect for nature and the economy. The projects work on the concept of so-called "human spaces " and cover topics such as sustainability, environmental awareness, ocean pollution, climate change and the scarcity of natural resources.

Right in the university's courtyard – Cortile della Farmacia – Fernando and Humberto Campana once again show the international public the genius of Brazilian design. The designers transform the space with an installation, entitled Sleeping Piles, which foresees the construction of seven towers – five meters each – covered in grass.
The idea is to reproduce the architectural curves of the arches and pillars of the University building itself. "We want visitors to see this installation as an invitation to relax and leave behind the stress and chaos of the metropolis and our daily lives," explain Fernando and Humberto Campana.
