Floating Forest is a green graft in the heart of Milan, created specifically for the Design Week 2022. Conceived as an ecosystem with 610 plants and 30 different species, it multiplies biodiversity and activates the environmental benefits related to urban greening, in connection with others green spaces in Milan.

The Floating Forest is also a place for decongesting everyday city flows: an urban device that nurtures new forms of contact and proximity. A refuge from the hectic life, where you can sit, rest and regenerate. The project also aims to leave a legacy for the city: all the trees will later be donated for the regeneration project at Vettabbia Park - managed by Soulfood Forestfarms Hub Italia, a nonprofit organization that facilitates the ecological transition of territories together with local communities̀, institutions and businesses - to transform disused land into a productive, complex and layered agroforestry system managed according to agroecological principles.
