Supporting the new generation of creatives and innovators is one of the central objectives for Timberland which during Milan Design Week presents the FUTURE73 VISIONS series at the Milan Triennale, a creative debate dedicated to the visionaries of the future.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Original Timberland ® Boot, the US brand took part in the Salone del Mobile 2023 by presenting <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/moda/timberland-future73-triennale-milano-intervista-ouchhh-nina-flood-suzanne-oude-hengel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Timberland ® x Suzanne Oude Hengel Future73 at the Milan Triennale</a> , an immersive experience that celebrates an important milestone with an installation made collaboration with Studio OUCHHH, pioneers of new media through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In fact, Timberland continues its journey with the FUTURE73 VISIONS project, a series of multidisciplinary creative sessions curated by cultural innovators with moments designed to educate and inspire the new generation of thinkers of the future.

On this occasion Timberland has created a real masterclass in the Salone d&#39;Onore at the Triennale Milano - which will be shared on Timberland&#39;s official YouTube channel - with university students from the European Institute of Design, IULM, and Domus; with the aim of training and supporting young creatives in the fashion system.
