The story

Design42Day began as a recreational blog in 2007 by Riccardo Capuzzo, the Art Director and Editor-in-Chief. Patrick Abbattista, who joined the project in 2009 as Co-Founder and Head of Sales and Marketing, left the company in 2015 to launch DesignWanted Archived 2019-01-05 at the Wayback Machine, currently one of the most influential voices on Instagram about Architecture & Design. Camilla Rettura held the position of Executive Editor from 2012 till 2014. In 2012, Design42Day contributed to the foundation of the “Bocconi Students 4 Design” association in Bocconi University and participated in the launching of their first event with Italian designer Fabio Novembre.

Design42Day’s online magazine focuses on five different areas of design, including fashion, industrial design, visual design, transportation design and architecture.
