Laurea in Belle Arti Design d'Interni

Interior design is a multi-faceted profession that shapes the spaces and places where people live, work, gather, play and learn.

Interior designers apply creative and technical solutions to achieve a built interior environment that enhances our quality of life, contributes to our culture and brings art into everyday life. In a rapidly changing, highly technological world, they protect our health, safety and wellbeing by solving modern, complex problems with innovative and cutting-edge lifestyle approaches and applications.
