The Independent Optician
A future to be reinvented
Franca Bochicchio Ottica & Glasstylist ® DIECIDECIMI ® – Milano Blogger glasstylist.com, founder of Radio Ottica
It was October 29 and the first time that I had attended an event dedicated to Design and future perspectives. On the stage of the NEXT event, organized by Altagamma, a foundation that has been promoting Italian excellence, uniqueness and lifestyle since 1992, there were incredible world-famous people who were interchanging and confronting each other on the theme of the future of creativity and design. In that moment, no one could have imagined that the immediate future would have provided such a different perspective to observe our familiar world or could have envisaged such remote and improbable scenarios. Well, in my short script, the purpose being to share my personal experience of this period, I started right from a phrase by Buckminister Fuller that I jotted down in the notebook of that event in which I participated, ironically, together with Isabella Morpurgo, the director of this magazine which today hosts my thoughts:
“The best way to predict future is to design it”.
