Courmayeur Design Weekend

Back, for the fourth year, the long weekend that transforms Courmayeur into a lively microcosm in which designers, companies and design experts tell each other at the foot and on top of Mont Blanc.

Designed by architect Paola Silva Coronel and organized in collaboration with Courmayeur Mont Blanc, the event includes numerous conferences and an exhibition spread through the streets of the country and the Courmayeur Sport Center.

There is no shortage of talks, exhibitions, appointments of a busy program that connects the world of design with iconic places and brands of Mont Blanc and Courmayeur.

One step ahead

“A step forward” is the theme of the 2024 edition. We decided to ask many professionals in the world of design and architecture to choose a “red” product and think of a phrase that can be the explanation of their choice but also a food for thought for those who look and read. The idea is therefore to bring with the design a strong message and at the same time engaging. The initiative has already gone viral and many designers, journalists, PR and managers have joined with enthusiasm.

Idee Gentili

“Gentile Ideas”, the charity exhibition-market whose proceeds will be entirely donated to the Ente Medici with Africa Cuamm will be open throughout the period at the Courmayeur Sport Center in the following hours 10.00 – 13.30 and 15.00 – 18.30. You can make a purchase option by going directly to the exhibition.
