Gabriele Chiave, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Controvento, recently joined the INTERNI Talk Casa Italiana at Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò, New York University, in New York City, contributing to an engaging conversation on Italian design culture and international creative dialogue.

Hosted during NYCxDesign, the conversation brought together leading voices from the design industry to reflect on the role of design in shaping contemporary culture and connecting tradition with innovation. During the discussion, Gabriele shared his perspective on design as a tool for storytelling, collaboration and cultural exchange. He also emphasized the importance of cross-cultural perspectives in expanding the boundaries of contemporary design practice.

The event offered a valuable opportunity to celebrate the enduring influence of Italian creativity on the global stage and to engage in a broader conversation about the future of design. It reinforced the role of design as a bridge between disciplines, geographies and generations.
