What is Milano Design Week?
For those who haven’t experienced it, Milano Design Week is an all-encompassing celebration of design. It features major events like Fuorisalone and Salone del Mobile. Fuorisalone transforms the city into a lively festival, with exhibitions, installations, and parties scattered across Milan’s bustling design districts, including university student work. Salone del Mobile is the go-to event for setting trends in the interior design world and showcasing the latest in furniture and tech solutions.

Highlights of This Year’s Event
This year, the team immersed themselves in Eurocucina and the International Bathroom Exhibition, integral parts of Milano Design Week. Eurocucina showcased avant-garde kitchen designs, while the International Bathroom Exhibition highlighted the latest in bathroom innovations. Their design trends focused on tranquility and natural beauty, with dominant serene, earthy tones such as sand, ochre, and terracotta, creating a harmonious and soothing ambiance.
A standout trend was the incorporation of multilayered textures in soft furnishings to craft luxurious, visually captivating, and comfortable pieces. Smooth organic shapes and natural hues were also prevalent, underscoring the fusion of comfort and aesthetics. Concealed kitchens made a notable impact, integrating cutting-edge technologies, materials, and designs that maximise space. This trend is ideal for those who prioritise both style and functionality in home design.
Milano Design Week is more than just an event; it’s an enriching experience. The entire experience leaves you feeling inspired and ready to incorporate the latest trends and concepts into your own projects. And, of course, don’t forget to enjoy a few plates of pasta while you’re exploring!
