At Eataly Milano Smeraldo, creativity is at home.

To mark Design Week, Eataly launched the Casa Illustri initiative, an exhibition and a series of appointments in the store that discuss new forms of conviviality. Eataly Milano Smeraldo will be joined by Illustri, the Italian association of illustrators and protagonist of the summer review of Eataly Outdoors, and Kartell, a leading design brand that has always blurred lines with the world of art and Italian manufacturing excellence.

From Saturday 4 to Wednesday 15 September 8 iconic Kartell objects will be up for auction on CharityStars; these special pieces have been decorated and personalized by 4 illustrators who have already put their names to the Eataly outdoor kiosk, along with 4 emerging young artists.

The proceeds from the auction promoted by Eataly Milano Smeraldo in collaboration with Illustri and Kartell will be donated to the Refettorio Ambrosiano in Milan, Chef Massimo Bottura's non-profit organization managed by Caritas Ambrosiana and a pilot project of Food for Soul.
