Budapest Select - Patterns of Being collective exhibition explores the role of humans in shaping the world through the intersections of design and art - portraying humanity as a being drifting in currents, striving for change, accepting fate, living in cycles, and taking responsibility.

The exhibition presents the reflections of contemporary Hungarian creators on the call to action “Be the Project” across five thematic sections, responding sensitively to cultural, social, ecological, and material‑ and form‑related challenges. The 26 selected artists and designers offer works that not only hold aesthetic value but also carry intellectual depth: exploring the possibilities of material use, the memory embedded in form, cultural heritage, the reinterpretation of craft and industrial traditions, the relationship between humans and nature, and questions of ethical responsibility.

The spatial concept of the Budapest Select – Patterns of Being exhibition was designed by the VÜ Architects firm, based on the decision of the advisory panel. The project contributes to the international presentation of contemporary Hungarian design, translating the questions of human existence and responsibility to spatial experience, and supports the successful showcase of Hungarian designers.

The project's aim is to provide the audience of Milan Design Week with a diverse yet coherent picture of the current aspirations of the Hungarian creative scene and its representatives - those who, through the transformations of the present, are sketching a delicate map of the future.

Curator: Hanna Imre.

To celebrate its 35th anniversary, Xinao Textiles, a global leader in high-quality natural fibers, is presenting an interior design project, "The Art of Yarn," for the first time at Milan Design Week.

The project, curated and directed by Pierluigi Fucci, explores the combination of textile art, interior design, and research into
materials, with an installation exhibited inside Cortile22, in the 5Vie district. For this installation, Pierluigi Fucci has designed a series of furnishing accessories made with precious Xinao Cashmere pure cashmere yarns, handcrafted by Italian artisans.

With "The Art of Yarn," yarn transcends textile material to become form, volume, and a sculptural language. Pierluigi Fucci's project pays homage to Croatian artist Jagoda Buić, a key figure in the "New Tapestry" movement, which radically influenced the designer's career and development. With her works, Jagoda Buić transformed traditional weaving into three-dimensional, architectural, and immersive textile environments. Her installations were presented at the Venice Biennale and are now part of the permanent collection of the MoMA - Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Following this artistic legacy, Pierluigi Fucci transforms Xinao Cashmere yarns into works characterized by three-dimensional reliefs, dynamic fringes, and textile techniques that emphasize the tactile dimension of the material.

XL Extralight®️ presents Airstone, the new tote bag designed by Nichetto®️ and featured in a special installation curated by the studio itself. Made from XL Extralight®️, an ingredient technology known for its extreme lightness and widely used internationally in high-performance footwear, Airstone stems from a design paradox: evoking mass, density, and solidity through a material that has made lightness its very essence. The result is a subtle tension between perception and reality, where Nichetto®️’s design plays with the research into materials to redefine the very idea of weight. The bag, produced in a numbered / limited edition, will be on sale exclusively within the installation.

Base Milano presents We Will Design 2026 – Hello Darkness, subverting expectations by choosing to “dim the lights.” While the design world pursues hyper-visibility, Base's research program dedicated to design, We Will Design, transforms the former Ex Ansaldo into a radical ecosystem: a week of immersive installations, biodesign, and collective rituals exploring contemporary darkness, political, ecological, and social, not as a crisis, but as a fertile space for regeneration.

Embodying Base's multifaceted spirit, the Ground Hall hosts an intervention by the French studio Smarin, which, in partnership with the Institut français Milano, presents Idiorythmia – RE-U construction system.

The experimental approach of We Will Design also resonates in the rooms of casaBase, which hosts five temporary studios through the project Temporary Home: spaces that simultaneously become places for living, experimentation, personal research, and exhibition. Designers: Jean Baptiste Durand, Bianca Carague, Lucrezia Alessandroni, Cristina Dezi, Saúl Baeza, and Manuela Valtchanova.

At the heart of the week is Exhibit, the collective exhibition featuring more than 80 designers from 23 countries. Across 4,000 square meters within Base, projects by academies, universities, design studios, and emerging designers are presented. The exhibition unfolds along four thematic trajectories, interpretations of the Hello Darkness concept, that guide the experience without rigidly structuring it: underrepresented communities (Community), ecology and sustainability (Environmentalism), rituals (Rituals), and technologies (Media Tech).

Avant Toi presents "La Sfida" project, an immersive experience at La Tenda Milano. The initiative consists of an exclusive workshop dedicated to silk painting, led by Avant Toi Creative Director Mirko Ghignone, who invites participants to engage directly with color, gesture, and material. This experience interprets La Sfida as a creative act balancing unpredictability and experimentation: stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing the unexpected, and letting the process guide the outcome.

An Italian luxury knitwear and apparel brand, Avant Toi has been exploring the boundaries between craftsmanship and artistic research for over thirty years. Founded in the Italian manufacturing tradition, the brand stands out for its radical approach to color and material, through manual painting techniques applied to textiles, each piece is transformed into a one-of-a-kind expression of a creative gesture that transcends the aesthetic dimension to become an experience.

During the workshop, each participant will create a unique silk scarf, transforming the gesture into a personal expression: not just an object, but the tangible trace of a lived experience.

Within the "The Challenge" chapter of the 6OLD program, promoted by La Tenda Milano from April 21 to 26, Avant Toi introduces an intimate and participatory dimension, placing gesture, manual skill, and the direct relationship with the material back at the center. It's an invitation to experience design as a shared experience, where creativity becomes action.

For Duravit, the collaboration with Patricia Urquiola stands for an approach that broadens the brand's creative spectrum and puts a fresh perspective on the bathroom as a distinct setting in its own right. It is in this spirit that the immersive installation Balcoon-Scapes is presented at Milan Design Week 2026 as an artistic project that commutes central elements of the Balcoon bathroom range into an abstract, sculptural landscape.

The installation, developed by Urquiola exclusively for Duravit, is on show at the Gran Meliá Palazzo Cordusio in the heart of Milan. It is staged as a free, experimental examination of form, materiality, and spatial effects. Balloon-Scapes invites visitors to experience design as a dialogue between object, space, and perception, consciously detached from the functional context of the bathroom.

In parallel with the installation, Duravit presents its expertise in premium bathroom design in the Milan showroom, at Via San Gregorio 49/51. Visitors experience a meticulously curated interior world featuring iconic ranges by Philippe Starck, Cecilie Manz, and Studio F. A. Porsche, as well as technological highlights from the SensoWash portfolio. Duravit will also be presenting an exclusive preview of the new items in the 2026 Balcoon collection, demonstrating the ongoing development of the range's design. A shuttle service will run between the installation and the showroom at 30-minute intervals from 21 to 24 April, enabling a seamless experience combining art installation and product presentation.

Blooming Imperfection – Relationships in Progress transforms the Portanuova district into an urban laboratory of reflection and dialogue. The project invites visitors to explore human relationships and to see incompleteness and mistakes as essential parts of the creative process and building authentic bonds.

Andrea Olivari’s installations, starting from a triptych depicting three human organs, interact with the urban environment and are enhanced by audio narratives from Gabriele Agostinelli. QR codes allow visitors to create personalized digital versions of the artworks, bridging physical and digital experiences. The route also includes photo corners in Via Capelli, Piazza Gae Aulenti, and Piazza Luigi Einaudi, as well as daily talks with guests such as Alessandro Cattelan, Umberto Galimberti, and Chiara Piotto.

The Flower Bar in Piazza Alvar Aalto completes the experience with miniature floral installations, a temporary Casaburi restaurant, and a free flower bag bookable via Portanuova Milano. Furniture by Alea enhances the emotional and natural atmosphere of the project. Blooming Imperfection encourages visitors to embrace vulnerability as a resource and to see relationships as ongoing processes, transforming fragility into opportunities for dialogue and mutual care.

The values behind Blooming Imperfection – Relationships in Progress are explored further through a series of talks organized in collaboration with Chora Media. Every day, in the agora created between Andrea Olivari’s installations in Piazza Gae Aulenti (between IBM and Pandenus), experts discuss contemporary behavioral and relational dynamics, tackling topics such as mental wellbeing, emotional fragility, and interpersonal communication.

Le Design Défilé introduces a new way of looking at design. Conceived as a scenographic journey by Jakob+MacFarlane, this collective project invites furniture to be seen not as a static object, but as a creation in motion, closely connected to the body, gesture, and time. A singular vision of French design, balancing contemporary precision with a deep-rooted culture of craftsmanship, and oriented toward a sustainable future.

Led by the French Living in Motion collective, bringing together Le French Design and l’Ameublement français, the event presents a rigorously curated selection of 53 French creations, reflecting the diversity of design languages, uses, and savoir-faire.

The scenography, conceived by the architecture studio Jakob+MacFarlane, lies at the core of the project. Inspired by the world of fashion, it takes the form of a wooden runway, deliberately graphic and precisely lit, extending across both interior and exterior spaces. Built from locally sourced wood and entirely recycled after the event, the runway structures the experience and guides the visitor’s gaze.

The first space brings together 15 indoor and outdoor furniture pieces by designers such as Andrée Putman, Constance Guisset Studio, Elliott Barnes, OUD Architecture, Studio Fritsch+Durisotti, among others. The second space highlights 13 French houses, both heritage and contemporary, Alki, Clen x Manade, Duvivier Canapés, Fermob, Franck Genser, Gautier, Lafuma Mobilier, Ligne Roset, Maison Sarah Lavoine, Mercœur Édition, Objekto, Philippe Hurel, Sokoa, each presenting three emblematic pieces representative of its identity.

On the occasion of the exhibition-event Interni Materiae, Annabel Karim Kassar recreates an authorial vision of the mysterious lost garden at the end of the world described in classical legends.

The Garden of the Hesperides, created for Rubner Haus and ABS Group, is in fact the architectural representation of a legend defined by the presence of a portico and iconic figures hand-painted by the designer, inspired by the Eden-like setting that hosts her work.

The place becomes the privileged stage for an ancient legend: that of a lost garden at the end of the world where golden apples grow, capable of granting eternal life. The fruits are guarded by the mysterious nymphs known as the Hesperides, while the Edenic serenity of the place is threatened by a hundred-headed serpent. Annabel Karim Kassar provides an architectural visualization of the tale by using a long portico built with wooden beams, which occupies the main avenue of the Garden and guides visitors toward a sundial representing the passage of time. Around the portico are the Hesperides, in the form of icons set into pedestals arranged in two large circles, respecting the strict logic of a Roman garden, and painted from life by the designer herself.

At the heart of Annabel Karim Kassar’s installation is the portico built with wooden beams and laminated panels, whose components can be reused after disassembly. The decorated flooring provides durability and is accessible to wheelchairs. The icons of the Hesperides, painted from life by the designer, are housed in custom steel display cases. The portico is illuminated by battery-powered lights, while external spotlights enhance the intensity of the work.

Reference Library is an exhibition conceived by Apartamento in collaboration with Jil Sander. It brings together sixty books from around the world, each chosen by someone whose perspective is admirable: writers, designers, artists, architects, filmmakers, thinkers, creators. Together they form a collection of personal references, books that have inspired, obsessed, and accompanied. Presented together, they become something greater than each individual title: a portrait of curiosity, of influence, of the invisible threads that connect a reader to an idea and an idea to the world.

The exhibition features an installation designed by the Milan-based architecture studio studioutte. Chrome-plated reading lamps are arranged in rows, each illuminated by a warm beam of light for reading, their reflections mirrored back by a mirrored wall. A space designed for the pleasure of observing up close, of moving from one title to another without haste, with nowhere else to be.
Upon registration, with 60 slots available every hour, visitors are invited into the library and given a pair of white gloves. A small ritual that changes the way an object is handled, the care devoted to it. The books are there to be picked up, opened and read. They remain on display, but the gloves stay with the reader: a small, silent reminder of time well spent.

La Tenda Milano presents a new chapter of its 6OLD program, dedicated to the theme of The Challenge, exploring design as a process that pushes beyond the limits of matter and perception. Taking center stage in the window display is Karbony with Ultralight, a project that interprets the concept of challenge through subtraction. An approach that recalls Michelangelo’s idea of creation as a process that happens “by means of removal.”

Carbon fiber, a technical and structural material, is reduced to its essence until it becomes a sign in space: fine interwoven threads form suspended structures that appear to defy gravity. Light passes through the material, transforming it into shadow and drawing. The window becomes a visual pause within the rhythm of the city, while the installation extends into the outdoor space on Via Solferino, where suspended elements amplify the dialogue between lightness, space, and perception.

With Ultralight, La Tenda Milano frames the contemporary challenge as a tension toward overcoming the limits of matter and perception, through the design act of subtraction. Behind Blooming Imperfection – Relationships in Progress are explored further through a series of talks organized in collaboration with Chora Media. Every day, in the agora created between Andrea Olivari’s installations in Piazza Gae Aulenti (between IBM and Pandenus), experts discuss contemporary behavioral and relational dynamics, tackling topics such as mental wellbeing, emotional fragility, and interpersonal communication.

Feel the Aura by Ploom is an immersive installation inviting an adult audience to embark on a sensory journey where light, warmth, and aromas become living matter, reacting to the visitor’s presence and movements.

At the heart of the exhibition is the new Glacier White device, an icon of essential, intuitive design that becomes an integral part of the experience: not just a device, but a companion that transforms a break into a personal, sensory ritual.

Inspired by the theme “Be the Project,” the installation puts people at the center and highlights their unique way of perceiving space. Every gesture, every step, every pause sparks an interaction that transforms the environment and reveals a personal trace, an aura shaped through design, atmosphere, and emotion.

The journey begins with the Feel the Aura Exhibition, a space where dynamic lights, reactive surfaces, and visual cues guide visitors into a contemplative dimension designed to slow things down and help them rediscover their own rhythm.

The experience continues with a series of artistic installations, Study of Light, Study of Flavor, Study of Creation, and Study of Form, each created by selected talents interpreting, through their own expressive language, the relationship between perception, movement, and matter.

Rosenthal presents a special exhibition dedicated to the conscious act of giving. Under the title Moments to Give, the company will be showing selected new products and iconic objects.

In an age of constant acceleration, Rosenthal sees gift-giving as a conscious decision. Moments to Give understands design not as a consumer good, but as a gesture of attention, closeness, and responsibility. The objects on display represent moments of gratitude, appreciation, connection, or reflection. They are things that shape relationships, create memories, and endure beyond the moment.

The exhibition invites visitors to create their own personal moments to give. It creates a space that encourages pause and promotes mindfulness towards one's own relationships. Rosenthal shows how design can help express and strengthen appreciation, gratitude, and connection. The new products thus become means of communication, small gestures that create closeness and carry meaning.

When Apricots Blossom, commissioned by Gayane Umerova, chairperson of the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation (ACDF), is an immersive exhibition inspired by a poem by Uzbek writer Hamid Olimjon, reflecting on themes of hope, renewal, and resilience. Through installations, newly commissioned design works, and public programmes, visitors are invited to discover the cultural heritage of the Aral Sea region and Karakalpakstan. Once home to one of the world’s largest inland lakes, the region has experienced dramatic environmental change over the past decades, yet its communities continue to preserve and adapt their cultural practices.

Curated by architect Kulapat Yantrasast, the exhibition unfolds as a journey through three essential elements of daily life in the region: textiles, food, and shelter. From vibrant textile installations and a contemporary interpretation of a traditional yurt to specially designed bread trays created in collaboration with Uzbek artisans, the works highlight how craft traditions carry knowledge, identity, and memory across generations.

Twelve international designers have contributed new works for the exhibition, including Bethan Laura Wood, Bobir Klichev, Didi NG Wing Yin, Fernando Laposse, Marcin Rusak, Nifemi Marcus-Bello, Sanne Visser, and Sevara Haydarova Donazzan, alongside design studios Glithero, Studio CoPain, and Raw-Edges. Working closely with artisans in Uzbekistan, the designers explore traditional materials such as wood, silk, ceramic, felt, and reed, creating contemporary interpretations rooted in local craft knowledge.

“Honey, have you eaten?” is the simple, universal question that gives rise to Casa, the new artistic project by Giotto Calendoli, created in collaboration with Eataly Milano Smeraldo. This is not a “hosted” artwork, but a journey built hand in hand: Eataly provides the raw material, food, gastronomic culture, and the stories that live on our tables, while Giotto transforms it into a home of memories, traditions, and shared gestures.

The installation, developed both within the store and on the building’s façade, interprets the Materiae theme proposed by Interni for FuoriSalone 2026, dedicated to the design and cultural value of materials. The Latin term materiae encompasses a plurality of meanings, materials, disciplines, subjects, and reflects the complexity of contemporary projects and their natural inclination toward hybridization.

“Honey, have you eaten?” is an everyday phrase that becomes a verbal caress, spanning generations and transforming into a collective declaration of care and intimacy, revealing a strong alignment of values between Giotto and Eataly: the idea of Italianità as everyday care, the beauty of rituals passed down, and food as a language that connects generations.

Casa is not just an artistic project, but an invitation to recognize what makes us a community: sharing, hospitality, and time devoted to others. The project narrates, without nostalgia or rhetoric, the passage of time, the habits we inherit, and the words that hold a sense of shared belonging.

In this context, food becomes a visual language, a symbolic material, and a narrative tool. Eataly Icons spaghetti participate in the story, transformed into a limited-edition design object by Giotto Calendoli: a container of stories, thoughts, and emotions.

The inspiration for illuminating the main entrance portal of the Ca' Granda came from the observation of the massive WR 104 stars, the "heavyweights" of the universe, whose disappearance would release enough energy to wipe out the solar system. A primordial energy, the idea of ​​applying the concept of light to the "original mass," to the origin of the universe.

Alexander Bellman and his studio narrate and redesign part of the University's façade with luminous "pencils": Miniflux by ILTI Luce, an architectural product capable of changing intensity and color along the white curve, and thus digging, with a variety of lengths and luminous hues, into the volumes. Bellman with Gruppo C14 Architecture & Design Studio illuminates the grand entrance portal of the Ca' Granda with the graphic sign of luminous digital "pencils": Miniflux by ILTI Luce, a thin profile that emits a soft light capable of integrating with the architecture. The inspiration comes from the WR 104 stars, which, upon their death, will produce a primitive energy that will return to mass. A total return to matter.

Audi’s vision encounters Zaha Hadid Architects’ stylistic code in Origin, an installation that presents a manifesto of contemporary architecture, in perfect harmony with the brand’s cutting-edge, progressive values.

Located in the forecourt of the former Seminario Arcivescovile of Milan, now Hotel Portrait, the work establishes a relationship of critical fidelity and innovation to history, presenting itself as a device for interpreting the principles of the brand’s new design philosophy. The project marks a new narrative. Just over six months after the debut of the Concept C, Audi chooses not to focus on a product review, but on interpreting the principles of clarity, technicality, intelligence and emotion. In an age dominated by visual noise, Origin operates by subtraction and synthesis.

An extreme architecture, it distills the essence of progress by eliminating the superfluous to reveal purity with the intent of building a new figurative paradigm. The skin of the object, a matte metal surface that recalls the emotional and technical coldness of titanium, is conceived to be reactive. It does not impose itself on its context, but absorbs its chromatic tones and shapes. Applying the conceptual scheme of the mirror, it renders a changed reflection of the historic building that surrounds it. This is where the curatorial value of the project lies: in its ability to transform a high-tech material into a sensitive tool, capable of mediating between the algorithm of the future and the warmth of Baroque stone. The experience offered to the visitor is deliberately antithetical to the speed that is also part of the brand’s DNA, from Formula 1 circuits to the performance of the new RS 5. Origin spurs active thinking. On traversing the pavilion, the space is continuously redesigned through a project of light that evolves from dawn to dusk: architecture becomes a living organism. Viewed in this perspective, the installation goes beyond the function of a simple exhibition pavilion to become the manifesto of a new design philosophy. Inside, multimedia experiences of light and sound relate the German company’s values of progress, ethical awareness and technological innovation.

Audi and Zaha Hadid Architects suggest that the future is not a distant place, but an origin that has to be constantly discovered in the richness of a pause for reflection, through the clarity of gestures and truth of material. An invitation to slow down in a world that is traveling ever faster, to finally inhabit the essential.

With Light Our Fire, Studio Azzurro transforms the façade of the Urban Up | Unipol – De Castillia 23 building into a luminous organism, pulsing with energy and matter in constant metamorphosis. After water and air, earth emerges as the protagonist: a silent origin and a bridge toward fire, the primordial element and creative force. Architecture becomes a living screen, capable of visually narrating the dance of an energy that destroys in order to regenerate. In this context, food becomes a visual language, a symbolic material, and a narrative tool. Eataly Icons spaghetti participate in the story, transformed into a limited-edition design object by Giotto Calendoli: a container of stories, thoughts, and emotions.

Invited by Urban Up | Unipol to interpret the theme Materiae, proposed by Interni for the 2026 edition of its highly anticipated exhibition-event, Studio Azzurro creates a visual journey that begins in the burning core of the Earth.

Light Our Fire thus invites a collective reflection on energy, the future, and the care of our planet, while at the same time encouraging an intimate awareness: to preserve the inner fire that moves us every day, between memory and the momentum toward what is yet to come.

Masterly – The Dutch in Milano celebrates its tenth edition. This milestone marks the consolidation of a curatorial platform that brings forward new visions and leading voices onto the international stage.

Nicole Uniquole awaits you in the 25 rooms overlooking Piazza Duomo, which for four years have hosted the event she founded and curates. Much like she appears in Levi Jacobs’ illustration, the Dutch artist was selected to conceive the symbolic image of this edition. Spread across the four floors of the historic palace, over 100 independent designers, established companies, emerging entrepreneurial ventures, artisans, artists, and educational institutions will be featured. Alongside individual installations, this edition places particular emphasis on collective projects. Born from the synergy between designers engaged in related research or from partnerships between companies that have chosen to join forces to present more ambitious projects, these installations move beyond the logic of simple product display to propose broader narratives, capable of making explicit the design philosophy that underpins them.

To identify the most emblematic projects, Nicole Uniquole involved Lidewij Edelkoort in a process of revisiting the archives, co-signing the curatorship of the exhibition "The Wunderkammer - 10 Years of Masterly".

Installed in the central room on the second floor, the exhibition presents several projects that, through their poetic aesthetics, and originality, have marked the history of the event.

The theme chosen for 2026, Metamorphosis, is conceived as a transformation driven by experimentation, by the development of new materials, and by the technologies available to us today. The challenge for the design world is to interpret contemporary scenarios and envision future ones. If on one hand, the reference point is the human being, with their needs and desires, on the other hand, it is crucial to reflect on our relationship with the planet, its resources, and the way we interact with our surroundings, fostering a virtuous connection among the many dimensions of life.

The installation "Metamorphosis in Motion" by Lina Ghotmeh transforms the courtyard into a living stage where architecture, memory, and movement converge. Curved geometries, sequential paths, and shifting perspectives guide visitors through a choreographed journey, turning a historic setting into an interactive labyrinth. Each area offers distinct ways of engaging with space, light, and natural elements, inviting exploration and reflection. The work activates participation without altering the structure, creating a dialogue between heritage and contemporary design. It reinterprets the courtyard not only as a threshold but as a collective ecosystem, where perception, movement, and human interaction shape an evolving architectural narrative. Through sensory experience, spatial awareness, and a play of perspectives, the installation fosters connections between individuals, the environment, and the broader context of design, memory, and transformation.

“Extreme Environments” invites visitors to reflect on how design can react, adapt, and generate new visions in extreme contexts: from vertical cities to remote places, from prohibitive temperatures to situations of significant social fragility, exploring limits and new possibilities. The environment, in fact, can no longer be considered exclusively as nature or landscape: extreme temperatures, overcrowded cities contrasted with silent desert spaces, technologies that amplify perception, while natural environments are shrinking. The very concept of “environment” today goes beyond the natural landscape; it also includes climate conditions, habitable space, and social and cultural ecosystems.

«Dialoghi» is a project born from the desire to explore the most authentic meaning of the term: the possibility for heterogeneous voices to engage in dialogue and understand one another. The concept originates from the company’s creative heritage and evolves it into a design culture capable of generating ever-new inspirations, with an immediately recognizable identity, in both outdoor and indoor environments. Within the project, outdoor and indoor furnishings coexist in a unified narrative, the result of a path of research and experimentation able to shape a whole in which every element finds coherence through its relationship with what surrounds it.

6:AM presents “Over And Over and Over And Over”, an exhibition that transforms contemporary glass into an immersive experience. The project begins with a simple but powerful idea: repetition. Gestures, routes, everyday rituals. What we often see as routine is, in fact, the invisible structure that makes change possible. The same happens in the work of glassmakers: the gesture repeats itself, but the result is never exactly the same. Glass is a living material, sensitive to temperature, chemical reactions and the hands that shape it. Even in serial production, each object retains a small variation, an unrepeatable detail that reveals the process.

With “Over And Over and Over And Over”, the creative duo Edoardo Pandolfo and Francesco Palù explores this tension between control and unpredictability, between the discipline of the gesture and the uniqueness of the material. The exhibition becomes a manifesto of 6:AM’s design language, where repetition is not replication but a creative method capable of generating differences.

SEM - Spotti Edizioni Milano presents Core, a new furniture collection by Hannes Peer, unveiled through a dedicated installation titled Hardcore.

Core is a collection rooted in the essence of solid wood. Conceived as both structure and surface, the material is used in its entirety. There are no veneers, no applied layers, no decorative additions. Wood is treated as a substance rather than cladding. Mass, grain, density, and proportion define each piece, allowing the material to assert its presence with clarity and restraint.

Developed in dialogue with Claudio Spotti, founder of SEM and owner of Spotti Milano, the project reflects Peer’s dual formation as architect and trained carpenter. His direct knowledge of construction informs a design language grounded in tectonics and material integrity. Each object embodies a physical and immediate relationship with wood, acknowledging its resistance and fragility as well as its ability to age with dignity.

USM Modular Furniture, in partnership with the transdisciplinary architecture studio Snøhetta, presents Renaissance of the Real, a multisensory installation by Swiss artist and experience designer Annabelle Schneider. The project invites visitors to step outside digital acceleration and rediscover the sensory intelligence of the physical body.

At the core of the installation is the iconic USM Haller modular system. For over 60 years, USM has defined a design language of precision and adaptability. Here, the system transcends its role as furniture, acting as the architectural skeleton that supports a soft, textile membrane that expands and contracts subtly like a breathing organism. This cocoon-like bubble creates a dialogue between the steel modular grid and fluid, organic softness, a space where structure and vulnerability coexist.

SuperCity is the project curated by Giulio Cappellini that transforms Superstudio Maxi into an ideal neighbourhood of the future. Architecture, design, art and photography intertwine in an open space, where domestic and outdoor settings take shape through graphic elements and visual interventions, as if in a three-dimensional comic strip. Among the main exhibitions, “When Design Becomes Art” explores the boundary between design and art, whilst “Portraits – photography | design” explores the human side of design through a series of portraits dedicated to leading figures in the contemporary design scene.

Group exhibitions, solo shows and installations interact with one another to create a fluid, multi-sensory experience, enriched by workshops and cultural events such as the talk organised in collaboration with ICFF on the future of urban space. SuperCity offers a total immersion in the city of the future, combining imagination, design and interaction in a single dynamic experience.

Tom Dixon transforms Mulino Factory, a 1929 building designed by Chiodi and Gio Ponti, into the Mua Mua Hotel, a jewel-like micro-hotel with just 12 rooms where his new collection will be displayed, conceived as a narrative device between design and hospitality. The project, curated by his Design Research Studio (DRS), goes beyond the traditional exhibition format to create an experience that, at the end of Design Week, remains active as a permanent hotel structure, giving a contemporary allure to a historic and layered space.

With Flow.Form.Function., Geberit demonstrates how a deep understanding of water flow becomes the starting point for design that truly serves a purpose. This idea takes physical form in the installation RŌS by the Swiss design studio atelier oï, presented at the newly opened Geberit Experience Centre on Via Tortona.

Hundreds of fine stainless-steel springs create a shimmering curtain, guiding water droplets along clearly defined paths. Yet their movement retains subtle variation: at times fast, at times slow, pausing, merging or splitting. The result is a compelling tension between technology and emotion, between control and release, a poetic choreography that reveals the hidden beauty of Geberit’s core competence, Mastering Water, which typically remains concealed behind walls and within pipes.

The Geberit Experience Centre itself offers architects and designers a space to explore Geberit’s systems and product solutions within real architectural contexts, while fostering professional dialogue and inspiration.

Lexus presents the world premiere of “Space”, an immersive installation inspired by its flagship Lexus LS Concept. It will be presented together with four new works from Discover Together 2026, a collaboration with emerging creators and Lexus in-house designers, at the Superstudio Più in the heart of the city’s Tortona creative district.

Ever since the brand was founded, Lexus has chartered its own course, challenging convention and redefining the principles of luxury mobility. Guided by its innovation mindset, it continues to push the boundaries for better products and services creating new experiences for its customers.

“Space” is shaped by Lexus’ constant pursuit of going beyond expectation and centres on the Lexus LS Concept to explore the meaning of “space” in the context of a modern luxury lifestyle. Today the automotive industry is transitioning from the traditional concept of the car to a new era of mobility and future that will deliver freer movement and enriched lifestyles. Work, personal life and movement are becoming increasingly and seamlessly interconnected, empowering people to pursue lifestyles that can feel more authentic and fulfilling. In this future, mobility transforms from simple transportation into a new experience that reimagines space itself. “Space” is an opportunity to discover a new vision of mobility that is yet to be defined.

Twenty students will travel from the Royal College of Art in London to build a temporary community: for seven days, they will act as sensible observers and embodied researchers, experiencing and at the same time investigating the peculiar, trans-territorial, and controversial inhibiting processes that characterise the city of Milan during such a peculiar moment as its annual Design Week.

RCA Students will engage, both with the city and with the building they’ll inhabit, as embedded architectural journalists. With the aim of discussing and unpacking unconventional living conditions, they will collectively re-activate “The Camp”.

This year, the terrace that overlooks via Tortona from the top of Base’s industrial premises will be reconfigured by Lemonot with a new spatial layout and a series of deployable elements: tribunes and itinerant table topographies will be placed within a U-shaped landscape of tents, enhancing the convivial nature of the campsite, fostering spontaneous exchanges and conscious interactions between participants.

This tridimensional ground will be playfully colourful: tents and vegetation will emerge almost seamlessly from a red, yellow, and blue topography. A constellation of architectural components: wooden platforms, textile surfaces, and soft rubber carpets will reinforce the heterogeneity of the palette, while constructing a calibrated balance between privacy and collectiveness.

Noi Men, the signature gateway of Zona Sarpi, reimagines the act of entering as a cultural threshold. The 2026 edition draws inspiration from the brick and stone portals of Shanghai and Milan, articulating a shared language of passage, exchange, and projection toward the future.

Since its debut in 2024, Noi Men has evolved into a defining symbol of Sino-Italian cultural dialogue. As early as 2025, it had garnered sustained attention from Milan's media, art, and design circles, establishing itself as a compelling example of organic urban regeneration. This year, it is the result of a dialogue and collaboration among RPDC Design Week, Dontstop, and Zona Sarpi, which, by blending historical memory and contemporary expression, establishes a public visual language that is simultaneously rooted in the local territory and internationally legible, setting the tone for its continued expansion in 2026.

The Flags unfold as a distributed visual system across the neighborhood. Structured around the “Six Better” themes, Better District, Better Mobility, Better Street, Better Connection, Better Entertainment, Better Network, they translate curatorial ideas into a spatial rhythm. More than signage, they operate as a subtle urban script, marking, guiding, and synchronizing the district into a cohesive yet evolving narrative.

Zona Sarpi presents a new chapter in its journey of dialogue between cultures: a visual and narrative project dedicated to Matteo Ricci, a historical figure symbolizing the encounter between Italy and China. The nearly 100-meter-long construction hoarding at the corner of Via Bramante and Via Sarpi becomes the opportunity for a civic intervention, an open space for storytelling, imagination, and exchange. Not a construction barrier, but a surface that invites you to pause, observe, and traverse a story that begins far away, among the hills of the Marche region, and unfolds all the way to the East, bringing viewpoints and teachings that remain extraordinary and relevant today.

Conceived as a street-facing display space, it showcases selected design practices and works from the Red Product Design Center (RPDC). This exhibition format has been part of Zona Sarpi since its first edition, proposing a novel way of presenting and experiencing design through storefront windows. By engaging directly with the urban landscape and the everyday life of Chinatown, the project respects the existing community ecosystem while weaving design into the district’s cultural and creative fabric
