Second Chance: Estonian Association of Designers is among the collateral projects to the Venice Design Biennial's five main exhibitions. They are independent shows, with their own curatorship but part of the design walks through Venice and our design program.

The exhibition of Estonian sustainable design "Second Chance", organised by the Estonian Association of Designers, was opened in the heart of the Biennale district. Estonian design was represented in Venice for the second time. The issue of the environment, which came to the fore during the crisis, has given rise to the content of this year's exhibition. The exhibition demonstrated how recycling turns used items into new products, which saves limited resources and protects the environment.
