Italian Embassy holds ‘Italian Design Day’
In the framework of the first “Italian Design Day” conference, held at the Khaldiya Camp of the University of Kuwait on March 5th, 2017, HE the Ambassador of Italy, Giuseppe Scognamiglio, announced the winners of the Photo Contest “Italian Style”, a competition launched last November on the occasion of the “Italian Week”. The announcement came after a speech by a famous naval designer, Barbara Amerio, who illustrated the concept of excellence permeating Italian design.
The “Italian Style” Photo Contest was aimed to highlight the inner beauty of interior designs-whether it was furnishings, lighting, household utensils or other items- and its relationship with the surroundings, in terms also of the emotional atmosphere generated by the interiors.

All photos matching the aforesaid criteria were examined by a jury composed of Kuwaiti and Italian experts in the field of photography and design. 1st place: Manal Ahmad Ibrahim The participant was awarded one airplane return ticket for the route Kuwait-Rome-Kuwait with Kuwait Airways plus a purchasing coupon worth 100 KD at all 360 Style shops plus one invitation to a lunch/dinner for four persons worth 50 KD at “la Margherita” Restaurants. 2nd place: Sadek Ali Hashim The participant was awarded one airplane return ticket for the route Kuwait-Rome-Kuwait with Kuwait Airways plus a purchasing coupon worth 100 KD at all 360 Style shops. 3rd place: Ali Jawad-Hussain The participant was awarded a purchasing coupon worth 200 KD at all 360 Style shops.
