Artificial Panorama (Future Multifunction Cube)”, a modular kit that allows composing furniture, appliances in a multiple and multiform way; "Hyper-trays", where technology meets the architecture of the house to rethink the ways of using the domestic environment; and finally "Carousel" in which the kitchen, the dining room and the work table merge into a single piece of furniture in a large carousel that contains the most advanced technology for preparing food, consuming it, having a business meeting and living moments of intimacy.

The winning project will be presented in prototype form during the Milan Design Week in September, together with a documentary made by Indiana Production that will reveal the whole process and the behind the scenes of the students' months of work (lived in a context such as that of the global health emergency) making it possible to understand the crucial phases and the most interesting aspects of the design process of the spaces of tomorrow.
