Success stories from IED Milano alumni

Published on September 30, 2022

Ryan Salim founded his lighting company Erreluce in Jakarta in 2015. Since then, he has never stopped winning awards and gaining important recognition all over the world. His work, driven by a strong emphasis on research, analysis, and experience, is characterised by his ability to balance aesthetics, emotion, and high quality. Learn more about Ryan and Erreluce.
We have already talked about Luca De Prà, a young debutant at the Milan Fashion Week last summer, but we do so again as he has won the Innovation Main Award by Confindustria Moda and Fondazione del Tessile Italiano during the International Lab of Mittelmoda - The Fashion Award.
Fame and awards also for the artist Francesco Vullo: one of his sculptures, “Empatia”, was selected by Tiffany & Co. to adorn the windows of their worldwide stores during the launch of their new Lock collection.
A new, important award also for designer Cesar Mendoza’s NES scooter, produced by his brand NITO at the Grands Prix du Design Awards in Canada, with the Gold Certification in the Automotive & Transportation category and the Silver Certification for Sustainable and Environmental Design among the Special Awards.
In London, his colleague from IED Milano Yanko Djarov is among the winners of Pentawards, one of the most prestigious packaging design awards, together with his team at inkpression.
The number of NFT artworks by the young artist Andrea Crespi is also growing and becoming known around the world. This time it is the work Propaganda, shown on the famous mega screens in Times Square in September. Amidst the waves and optical illusions that have now become his trademark, a phrase as simple as it is evocative peeped out: 'War Is For The Stupid'.
