Milan Design Weeks
April 2025

Eco-design and enhancement of craftsmanship, is the project proposed this year by the 24th edition of Green Island, during Milan Design Week (April 7/14, 2025). An urban route that promises to light up an area of Garibaldi Station in the Isola District with color. This year's main venue for the event will be the Flying Tiger space, with a special project dedicated to the pollinator garden.

In this new edition, the Fly Garden installation is proposed, a garden created especially for the windows of the Flying Tiger Copenhagen concept-store in Garibaldi Station, curated by Claudia Zanfi (Green Island founder).

It is a kind of 'diorama', a small garden for pollinators, in which one can discover a series of handicrafts and design objects made with natural elements, as well as a specific intervention by Atelier del Paesaggio with 3D printed beehives made for solitary bees. This is a journey of eco-design, botany and ever-changing landscapes.

The design studio Giopato & Coombes unveils Scarabei, an unprecedented project that explores the metamorphosis of matter through light. Inspired by the natural world and its organic forms, Scarabei is a profound investigation into the invisible golden rules that guide the spontaneous growth of living organisms. The collection comes to life from a concept of natural propagation, where repetition meets freedom, diversity merges with uniqueness, giving shape to luminous bodies that expand into space like living elements.

Through the ancient technique of sand casting, each element of the compositions is shaped in aluminum castings on earth molds, creating unique, textured surfaces that echo the raw irregularities of matter and its natural textures. The concave domes composing each lamp vary in size and density, evoking the idea of an ecosystem in constant evolution.

The installation will be a sensory experience that establishes a dialogue between matter, light, and space. The luminous forms of the collection will unfold in a fluid composition, where each piece behaves like a living organism, capable of transforming and interacting with its surroundings. Light will create plays of shadows and reflections that amplify the tactile perception of the material.

In the heart of Milan, dOT-design Outdoor Texture returns, now in its 8th edition with a brand new look. The event, organised by VG crea in collaboration with EN Space network, takes place in the heart of the Brera Design District, transforming this historic place into a space for research and design experimentation.

The event dedicated to living design, with an exhibition area of more than 1,000 square meters (developed between the square, the two indoor cloisters, and the garden) and the participation of many exhibitors and designers, offers an in-depth look at the material and technological research behind contemporary design.

The 2025 edition revolves around the theme of "matter", understood as the generative principle of design: from the essence of the material that defines its form, to the experiments that expand its expressive and applicative potential, to its concretisation in the finished product. Matter understood both as a structural element and as a coating, appreciated for the expressive and sensory qualities derived from textures and surface finishes.

A significant contribution to the project debate comes with dOT MATERICA, the new exhibition format set up in the Small Cloister, curated by Sabina Antonini and Alessandra Coppa. This curatorial space aims to explore the role of matter as a foundational element of architecture and design through an exhibition that highlights research, innovation and concrete applications in the realisation of microarchitecture conceived with the help of artificial intelligence. The protagonists of this section are four leading project realities-ATI Project, Lombardini22, Progetto CMR, and Studio Marco Piva.

Known for their bold and playful approach to interior design and branding, Masquespacio blends vibrant colors, geometric forms, and emotional narratives to craft spaces that spark curiosity and dialogue.

At the heart of this immersive experience, Élitis’ 2025 textile and wall covering collection will be showcased through a striking scenography, enhancing the tactile and visual dialogue between materials and space. The first act introduces the elementary essence of geometry, with small-scale installations that unveil the beauty of simple forms.

The final act culminates in a grand architectural structure, where contemplation becomes a gateway to self-knowledge.

More than an exhibition, Sensora is a sensory odyssey, an invitation to explore, feel, and connect. By merging architecture, design, and materials, it redefines the relationship between human beings and their environment, offering a singular and deeply personal experience.

In line with the theme of Milano Design Week 2025 "Connected Worlds", Land and Porsche Consulting will come together to highlight the transversal and multisectoral impact of the "Nature-Factory Manifesto", successfully unveiled last January in Davos during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting.

This bold initiative envisions private companies transforming into “Factories of Nature,” embracing the role of resource producers rather than resource consumers. A new paradigm of value generation that goes beyond the compensation approach transforming sustainability from a compliance obligation into a driver of competitiveness.

The talk will feature key representatives from the public and private sector to share insights aimed at facilitating the shift from traditional green transition strategies to a sustainable economy based on Natural Capital Accounting.

This new approach starts from the analysis of the qualitative and quantitative effects of Ecosystem Services in urban contexts, making them visible and tangible. This commitment, globally replicable through new Nature-positive public-private partnerships, enables actions and advocacy by engaging clients, communities, and partners to promote Nature’s growth as part of socio-economic development.

Beyond the main event dedicated to the Nature-Factory Manifesto, the Wunderkammer, Land's exhibition space offers the public an in-depth exploration of the themes and insights presented through interactive activities and workshops.

Now in its third edition, Labò continues its research in collectible design and art within the former industrial spaces of Fondazione Rodolfo Ferrari and Spa - Società Prodotti Antibiotici, located in the Barona District on the outskirts of Milan.

The venue will host a fresh selection of international designers, artists, and companies, carefully curated by The Design Blender, the duo composed of Elsa Lemarignier and François Leblanc di Cicilia. Labò explores the role of design as a driving force of transformation and research, intertwining method and intuition, rigour and experimentation. The theme of the 2025 edition, “Crafting tomorrow, Rising ideas”, celebrates design’s ability to generate unexpected connections, offer new perspectives, and open up creative exploration.

This year’s vision is brought to life through a renewed collaboration with Paris-based studio Undo-Redo, led by Nicola Aguzzi, who translates the event’s concept into a site-specific installation at Labò. Designed in partnership with Vimar1991, an Italian company acquired by Chanel in 2020 as manufacturing excellence to be preserved and enhanced for the creation of the finest yarns used in the iconic tweeds, the installation, Perpetuum Mobile, reimagines textile machinery as a hypnotic artwork. By transforming the machines that wind yarn into hanks, the piece explores the fine line between industrial production and artistic expression.

Park Associati presents Paff Paff - Liminal Spaces for Sensorial Rituals, an installation that explores wool as a symbolic element to create a primordial space. Through the senses, this environment invites visitors to rediscover an intimate and welcoming dimension, offering a moment of rest amidst the daily hustle and bustle. The installation was designed and developed by the design studio Finemateria at the invitation of Park Associati, in collaboration with cc-tapis and QuadroDesign. The initiative is part of the cultural programming of Park Hub, curated by Costanza Nizzi.

The title Paff Paff refers to the onomatopoeic sound of soft footsteps in slippers, a delicate and airy noise evoking the sensation of a body resting on a soft surface. The ritual of putting them on marks the transition from the external environment to an intimate space dedicated to personal care.

WonderGlass returns to Istituto dei Ciechi with Poetica, an installation featuring new works by Vincent Van Duysen and Ronan Bouroullec, complemented by exquisite wallpaper designs from Calico Wallpaper, and a special contribution by Officine Saffi Lab. This evocative project reimagines glass and paper as vessels for memory and imagination, offering a poetic exploration of materiality and craft.

Poetica explores the delicate balance between the ordinary and the abstract, where objects reveal hidden dimensions through their interaction with their surroundings. Each piece unfolds new layers of meaning, in a storytelling that begins in the mind of the designer, evolves through the hands of the craftsman, and finds its full expression in the eyes of the viewer. A poetic cycle is thus co-created, design, craftmanship and perception, resulting in an ever-evolving narrative that extends beyond the object itself.


Poetica culminates in a celebration of collaboration, not just between materials but between visionaries and makers. WonderGlass, with the collaboration of Calico Wallpaper and Officine Saffi Lab, brings together an installation that explores the space between creation and perception, where the familiar is transformed into the extraordinary, and where the art of making becomes poetry itself.

In a virtuous dialogue between renewal, transformation and design, Prima Assicurazioni, the tech company that has revolutionized the Italian insurance industry through technology and digital, chooses to dress Porta Venezia Design District as Main Partner for the 2025 edition of Milan Design Week, collaborating with the visionary creative studio Toiletpaper, founded by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari. The artistic intervention will reinterpret urban spaces starting from the famous Bastioni di Porta Venezia through the recognizable and impactful visual language of Toiletpaper'S iconic snakes to represent the tale of a fast and dynamic reality that “changes skin” but remains consistent with itself. Just like Milan's urban spaces and like PRIMA itself, which in ten years of activity has been able to rapidly impose itself in a traditional market such as the insurance one, with more than 4 million active customers, without ever losing the innovative charge that has always characterized its technological DNA. Moreover, in an age in which experimentation and contamination become sap for new visions, technology is not only the engine of the future, but also that one thing destined to permeate all people's activities, an element, indeed, that knows no “boundaries”.

Lime, the world’s leading shared electric vehicle company, is thrilled to announce its collaboration with Raffles Milano, an international design institute, to launch a limited-edition collection of bikes and e-scooters.
These unique vehicles will be available throughout Milan Design Week 2025, within the vibrant Porta Venezia Design District. This partnership aligns perfectly with this year’s theme, Connected Worlds, celebrating participatory and generative design. Through Lime and Raffles Milano, design and urban sustainability move forward together, merging innovation, smart mobility, and creativity into a unified experience. The collaboration comes to life through the 72 Hours Project, a unique educational initiative by Raffles Milano, where students take on an intensive three-day design challenge. The objective is to transform Lime’s vehicles into iconic design pieces that integrate into Milan’s urban landscape, balancing functionality with aesthetics to present a fresh vision of sustainable mobility. Milan, a global design capital, becomes the ideal stage for a mobility experience that transcends mere transportation: it becomes a statement of style, enhancing and engaging with the city itself. For this occasion, Raffles Milano students will reinterpret Lime’s bikes and scooters with an approach that harmonizes aesthetics and practicality, turning them into true design elements that converse with the urban environment. The result will be a limited edition of approximately 100 vehicles, celebrating the city’s rhythm, energy, and creative spirit while offering a new way to experience sustainable mobility.

Meet Digital Culture Center, the first International Center for Digital Art and Culture in Italy, established in Milan with the support of Fondazione Cariplo and founded by Maria Grazia Mattei, will once again this year, for the third consecutive time, be the headquarters of Porta Venezia Design District for Milan Design Week 2025.

On this occasion, the public will be able to visit the exhibition Realia by Sabrina Ratté: this is the first Italian solo exhibition of the Québécois visual artist who explores the convergence between technology and biology, questioning the new relationship between nature and the digital environment. Through an immersive exhibition path, which fits perfectly into the Meet the Nature program that addresses the theme of nature in a critical and innovative way, beyond the simple discussion on recycling and sustainability, the artist investigates the interaction between materiality, virtuality, and spirituality, proposing speculative scenarios in which the natural world evolves in symbiosis with the residues of technological civilization. A journey made possible thanks also to the support of Haiki+, a leading company in the environmental sector dedicated to recycling, recovery, and treatment of industrial waste by applying the principles of circular economy.

Saint Laurent brings to light four pieces designed by Charlotte Perriand between 1943 and 1967, which never went into production or remained as prototypes, selected by creative director Anthony Vaccarello. Among them are a five-seat sofa designed for the Paris residence of the Japanese Ambassador, featuring a seven-meter-long curved wooden base, and the Table Mille-Feuilles, made of ten layers of two different woods stacked like a millefeuille cake, which until now had only existed as a maquette on the designer’s desk.

The 2025 Salone del Mobile is back as the star of the design calendar: the leading international event for the design industry will be held from April 8 to 13, at Milan’s Rho Fiera fairgrounds. Set up in 1961, the trade fair boasts a wide range of furnishing products, distinguished by their expressive power and their functional, technological and material innovation, devised to enhance the domestic scene. Ingenuity, vision, innovation, sustainable excellence and emotion make up the familiar lexicon of the companies and brands that exhibit at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, which has now been proved to be increasingly more global, inclusive and in dialogue with the entire creative and productive furnishing system. Each year, the trade fair gives shape to its mission as a laboratory of experimentation and cross-pollination, a place to meet, to interface and create new business opportunities. It is here that prototypes and innovations in terms of furnishings, domestic spaces and lifestyles are presented: bedrooms, living and dining areas, entrance corridors and service areas, outdoor spaces with their furniture and cupboards, upholstereds, tables and chairs set the scene for a narrative that starts with this room, exploring how the way we live is changing and, consequently, home living and furnishing.

SaloneSatellite, the jewel in the crown of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, will take place from April 8 to 13, 2025.

SaloneSatellite is the very first event to have devoted particular attention to young designers, instantly becoming the meeting place par excellence for entrepreneurs/talent scouts and the most promising designers. Its creation, in 1998 thanks to Marva Griffin Wilshire, who is still its Curator, was an act of faith in the creative potential of designers under 35. Many of the prototypes presented at previous editions have gone into production and many of the 14,000 designers, along with 270 International Design Schools and Universities, that took part, have become prominent names on the design scene. An outpost of creativity, ruled from the very beginning by the belief in experimentation, this visionary hub explores the design world of the future, edition after edition, reflecting on how to tackle the challenges of the future from a design point of view. In an age characterised by swinging changes in environmental, economic, and social balances, young designers will be the ones who will provide valuable information that will serve to guide us. Each year, the SaloneSatellite Award rewards three of the most deserving projects and assigns some Special Mentions. All the competing prototypes are assessed by an International Jury and showcased in a single collective exhibition.

Facades is an exploration of the tension between chaos and order, a creative process where repetition becomes a tool for balance and reflection. Through recurring patterns, sharp lines, and solid colors, MaoSagao constructs a visual language that oscillates between precision and instability, control and uncertainty. His works evoke the contemporary urban landscape, characterized by modular surfaces and repetitive rhythms, while also revealing the fragility of seemingly solid structures.

MaoSagao’s painting technique is characterized by the use of masking with acrylics on canvas, a meticulous process that requires multiple layers and remarkable precision to achieve the desired effects. The artist transforms the act of painting into an exercise in mental release, where thesearch for visual order reflects the need to navigate a fragmented and overstimulating world.

Facades invites the viewer to decipher a precarious equilibrium, a space of tension between the urge to shape reality and the awareness that every construction is, ultimately, an illusion.

Lexus envisions a future where technology predicts and continually evolves the potential value of individual experiences through vehicles. To express this vision of limitless possibilities, they present an installation inspired by Lexus’s new cockpit design, the “Black Butterfly,” alongside works by three visionary creators.

The installation “A-Un” draws from the Japanese concept of “A-Un no Kokyu,” where human connections achieve perfect synchronicity. This theme explores the relationship between software and humans, alongside the future of mobility. Within a vast space crafted from bamboo threads into the form of the Black Butterfly, visitors will experience a light installation that merges their heartbeat with real-time 1/f tremors sampled from nature. This year’s world debut success project “Discover Together” emphasizes “co-creation” with creators. Like “A-Un,” it features interactive works that reinterpret the “Black Butterfly” cockpit through the unique inspirations of Bascule Inc., Northeastern University, and the Lexus Vision Design team.

All’Origine, the Italian specialist in European objects of the XX century, is present with a temporary shop and a site specific installation in collaboration with artist duo PetriPaselli. With their signature visual vocabulary the duo reflects on the passage of time over personal treasures and physical memories.

The visual merchandising of the shop, curated by Art Director Corina Jucan, is deeply entangled with the installation and integrates art pieces by PetriPaselli. Time is cyclical: objects fall out of fashion, of sight and of mind, only to come back as newly found treasures (for grandchildren rummaging in an attic and for collectors combing through flea markets alike). But the cycle is not broken. It is bound to start over again.

A room full of light, a light box for sorting and viewing pictures. The fact that the Erco light factory uses a ‘white cube’ as a ‘light box’ demonstrates how light can transform, even transcend, a very simple architectural space: This is always an intense experience, but of course no surprise. It is the core competence. However, not everyone knows that Erco also has an archive of thousands of photos that document unique insights into the world of light and architecture over the course of decades. And yet the approach to architectural and lighting photography is such a characteristic facet of the ERCO brand that we would like to focus on it in a cabinet exhibition at the Triennale Museum as part of Fuorisalone 2025.

Since the mid-1970s, under the influence of designer Otl Aicher (1922-1991), Erco has developed a distinct curatorial expertise in photography. The "light box" was always used as a working tool.

Initially analogue, as a backlit table on which the motifs for catalogues, customer magazines or advertisements were selected from hundreds of slides, today as a digital and on-screen metaphor for digital media and production processes. High-profile contemporary photographers and the company as client met as equals. Through this dialogue, an independent, brand-typical visual language emerged.

The "Erco Light Box" exhibition shows selected motifs from four decades of ERCO photography in a room transformed by light. It thus provides a unique view on projects, processes and protagonists in architecture and lighting design - and at the same time lets visitors experience light as an immaterial design medium.
