Design Schools, Exhibitions 11 Jun 2019

An exhibition titled “Over the future – 30 years of IED in Turin” is running at the Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile di Torino (Corso Unità d’Italia, 40) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the design school.

IED opened in the summer of 1989 when IED was born from the vision of its founder Francesco Morelli.

In 1991 the site was moved from the original headquarters in Via Bligny to Corso Turati, then to Via Pomba and in 2004 to Via San Quintino 39, where IED is still today, except for the Fashion School, to which an ad hoc space was dedicated in corso Matteotti 11.

To celebrate these 30 years, IED has set up an exhibition at the Turin Museo dell’Automobile (Mauto) that tells the culture of the project, focusing on the automotive, the vocation of Turin and its territory, which IED has been able to interpret making the training in the field of mobility the real strength of the Turin office.
