Ramak Fazel’s photographs offer an insider’s view of Milan’s design scene between 1994 and 2009.

Intimate portraits of designers, factories and editorial offices capture a period in which publishing, industry and visual culture operated as a cohesive system — vibrant, conflict-ridden, generative: a community of ideas and visions that helped shape the identity of contemporary design.
