Milan Furniture Fair
During the Milan Furniture Fair 2005, Interaction Design Institute Ivrea, in collaboration with Tecno, presents “Strangely Familiar Future. Unusual objects for every day working life”. This exhibition is a collection of working prototypes for office environments that reveal the very playful and poetic element of interaction design.

In the evocative atmosphere of the old post office, located inside the Milan Central Station, the students of Interaction Design Institute Ivrea display nine objects for every day working life. Taking cue from mundane devices like a telephone, radio, answering machine or an alarm clock, the students have created a series of electronic interactive prototypes that amplify the lost qualities of the physical and tangible world.
People
The ideas on show were generated during several class workshops held at Interaction Design Institute Ivrea. The associate professors responsible for the workshops were Massimo Banzi, Neil Churcher, Heather Martin, Yaniv Steiner and Reto Wettach. Edoardo Brambilla provided all physical prototyping on show and Gianluca Martin assisted with the electronic prototyping. Dario Buzzini participated in the workshops as a project assistant and was also responsible for coordinating this exhibition with Heather Martin in collaboration with Tecno and Lissoni Associati.
