Milan Design Week means more than lounging in luxury and the latest in bathroom beauty. We pull out a handful of exciting commercial furniture highlights.
From sculptural basins and wellness-led bathrooms to kitchens and professional-grade appliances, these Milan Design Week releases reframed the home’s most functional spaces as places of ritual and care.
From indoor-outdoor furniture systems and archival reissues to experimental lighting, circular materials and collectible surfaces, these launches captured Milan Design Week’s broader conversation around comfort, craft, longevity and atmosphere.
Salone del Mobile and the wider Milan Design Week again provided plenty of food for thought this year. Here, we reflect on some design ‘trends’ as well as taking a more critical view of the annual gathering.
From Aesop’s light-filled installation by Australian architect Rodney Eggleston to Molteni&C’s immersive garden worlds, these are the exhibitions, launches and interventions shaping Milan Design Week so far — with more to come.
From Muuto’s softly lived-in Brera apartment to Artemest’s palazzo-scale grandeur and Studiopepe’s introspective project apartment, these Milan Design Week interiors use the home as a stage for design, feeling and identity.
A selection of anticipated highlights to whet the appetite as Milan Design Week 2026 gets ready for kick-off in April.
Superb design evokes an instinctive sensory response. Our eyes linger on lines and curves, our bodies lean towards the experience of touch, and our imaginations suggest scents of salty breezes, sun-warmed citrus or rich espresso.
Salone del Mobile arrives in April and we’ll have our team over there as usual – get in touch if you’re heading over from Australia, New Zealand or the wider Asia-Pacific.
Italian architect and designer Roberto Palomba has been travelling across Australia in February 2026 for a series of talks, showroom events and product launches.
As Roberto Palomba visits Australia, Space Furniture unveils a 450-square-metre apartment installation that positions Kartell not as a collection of objects, but as a complete way of living.
Crafting form and creating function with rattan, Patrick Keane and Enter Projects Asia’s latest project is proving to be a draw card for shoppers at the dynamic fashion house Massimo Dutti.
