Cefla and Zenith Shop Design, together with Coop, are starring at EXPO Milan 2015.
The pioneering Supermarket of the Future, part of the EXPO 2015 FUTURE FOOD DISTRICT theme area, was developed based on an idea by Carlo Ratti, Director of the Senseable City Lab at MIT, Boston, with the collaboration of Coop, an Official Food Distribution Partner.
