Ventura Centrale is Ventura Projects’ hot spot in the heart of Milan located at the Milan Central Station. After years of silence, the street level locations, which were previously used as laboratories, depots and warehouses, have opened their doors. This iconic building offers labels, companies and established designers a unique opportunity with all the advantages of a blank canvas. 

Ventura Centrale fills the massive industrial warehouses under the Milan Central Station with majestic installations by renowned international companies, design labels and studios. Since its start in 2017, Ventura Centrale has been expanding each year; from eight abandoned warehouses in 2017, to nine warehouses in 2018 and to sixteen vaults in 2019.

Ventura Future is the perfect opportunity for designers, brands and academies to showcase new work and gain maximum exposure and brand awareness from a large professional audience. The exhibition highlights original, cutting-edge and impactful design. Since 2019, Ventura Future is collaborating with the cultural project BASE Milano.
