Gravity of Light
The Fuorisalone Milano exhibition, designed and curated by BLOND, will be held in the heart of Brera on Via Palermo this April, for the duration of Milan Design Week 2024. IKEA (find more here) returns to Milan Design Week with 1st, a dynamic exhibition taking over the 1,244 sqm Padiglione Visconti venue, transforming it into an IKEA playground. Designed by architect Midori Hasuike and spatial designer Emerzon, the exhibition explores the contrasting yet similar experiences of moving out on our own for the first time. By day, visitors can explore the space, including limited-edition merchandise at the shop and newsstand areas, along with curated event magazines. At night, the space morphs into a hub for music enthusiasts, featuring genres spanning from Hip-Hop to Disco, Funk to Techno, and more. Partnering with Italian music crews like Burro Studio, Akeem, Ciao Discoteca Italiana, Threes Production, and Slipmode, IKEA shines a spotlight on artists from the vibrant local music scene.

Californian designer Yves Béhar’s Peaks for furniture brand MOOOI, for instance, is a modular sofa composed of dual triangles interconnected by fabric hinges, which allows them to rotate up or down to create multiple seating arrangements. While Faye Toogood created an intriguing space for Tacchini at Rude Arts Club with her irregular and elliptical shapes, sculptural elements mixed with delicate softness, which blended the British designer’s quirky spirit with fine Italian craftsmanship. And loved by celebrities, will present “Smoothies,” its new colorful collection inspired by the multicolored beverages. On Friday and Saturday, Icon Denim Ape Car will be traveling across the main city’s areas, from the fashion district of Tortona to the neighborhood of Brera, from the district of Porta Venezia to the Navigli area inviting people to discover the new collection while sipping a smoothie. In the store, nine new ceramic vases will stand against a monumental canvas by the Italian Neo-expressionist painter Sandro Chia.
Along with these materials, the Hermès Collection Maison 2024 at Milan Design Week 2024 exhibits its new vibrant pieces of furniture, from lounge chairs and lamps to colorful baskets and cloud-like, fold-dyed cashmere. At Alcova this year she has staged one of her labor-intensive installations – delicate snacks along with pieces from her and her sister Nadia’s homewares line Gohar World – organized under a tent of striped canvas. Like a contemporary iteration of Gustav III’s copper campaign tents at Haga, these edible sculptures and the enclosure that frames them, are for frivolities sake, and no less important for being for this brief moment. The ever active duo behind Objects of Common Interest, Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis are up to their necks in Milan-based design interventions this week. At Alcova, where they showed an outdoor inflatable fountain last year, their pavilion, or “garden house”—also inflatable—lends itself to the leisure of this year’s visitors. Like a bombolono split in half, it’s a much needed dose of levity and hilarity in what for many is the most hectic week of the year.
“Meraviglioso & Meravigliosa” will also welcome the work of Pritzker Prize–winning architect Álvaro Siza, who created three of the pieces of the collection. Founded by architects Beyond Space and design platform Organisation in Design – former organizers of Ventura Projects -, the Certosa Initiative is set to unlock a brand-new design district and a new exhibition in Milan that will showcase the freshest emerging talents and the most respected brands. Set in a 10,000-square-metre industrial building, the Certosa Initiative will display designs including a puffer coat stuffed with single-use face masks and a kinetic-light artwork. “My secret desire is to be an interior designer,” confessed once Academy Award-nominated film director Luca Guadagnino. This year SLG debuts at Milan Design Week with the By The Fire exhibition at Spazio RT [Via Fatebenefratelli, 34, Map].
Fidenza Village
At its centre will be a pyramid made from 80 artistic clay pitchers, specially made for the event, which will be 4.5 metres high and wide. Erik Maza is the Executive Style Director at Town & Country, overseeing the magazine’s coverage of fashion, design and society, subjects he also handled earlier as an editor at W Magazine and Women’s Wear Daily. The city's thirst for creativity extends well beyond the showrooms, making its way into Milan's iconic bar scene. Bar Basso, with its claim to fame as the birthplace of the Negroni Sbagliato, stands as a beacon for those looking to imbibe history alongside their cocktails.

Forgoing immersive product presentations or the more common in-store activations of Salone del Mobile, Moncler took over the walls (and station gates) of Milano Centrale, the city’s architecturally significant central railway station. The brand’s exhibition, “An Invitation to Dream,” paired large-scale, black-and-white still images and slow-motion film portraiture by London-based photographer Jack Davidson, spotlighting artists Daniel Arsham and Laila Gohar, playwright Jeremy O. Harris, Dr. Deepak Chopra, musician Rina Sawayama, and more. Curator Jefferson Hack oversaw each detail, from the visionary talent featured to the use of digital billboards and even the inclusion of handprinted lithographic prints.
Recycled-aluminium objects
Luxury fragrance house Liquides Imaginaires will stage the Imaginarium olfactory laboratory and exhibition, nodding to the exploration of all things citrusy the brand’s artistic director Philippe Di Méo embarked on by also involving seven students from Givaudan’s perfume school. To give a visual representation to the project and imagine a whimsical tree bearing the fruits of this exploration, Di Méo tapped artist Laurentine Périlhou, who specializes in macramé techniques and counts collaborations with brands such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Loewe, Balmain, Dior and Hermès. Building on their three-year partnership, Woolrich and art collective Wanderlast Vision are unveiling a book during Milan Design Week intended to recap the pair’s past cultural and community-building initiatives. Called “Orama,” the Greek word for “view,” it honors the music events hosted against different mountaintop landscapes since 2022 via images, documents, flyers and invitations, among other memorabilia.
Global furniture brand IKEA proposes a full festival with gigs and events and unveils upcoming collections and designs that it is working on with a number of designers, including Ilse Crawford and Sabine Marcelis. Under the theme Fluidity and Design the Tortona Design Week program includes several exhibitions including a floating forest by Stefano Boeri Studio for Timberland on the Darsena by Navigli. These pieces are adorned with motifs emblematic of his architectural design, including a sun, a crescent moon, a polar star, and elaborate iterations of the letter ‘A’ that honors the villa’s residents.
A wide range of fringe events, installations and exhibitions take place across Milan to coincide with Salone del Mobile, which are collectively known as the fuorisalone. A monumental outdoor fused glass installation is the first to greet visitors to Lasvit’s design, architecture, and glassmaking exhibition for Milan Design Week 2024. In the courtyard of Palazzo Isimbardi, the installation ‘Re/Creation’ stems from the properties of the glass, the main material used in the project. Lasvit showcases the results of extremely hot melted glass being allowed to relax and spread before it takes on the shape or form of the surface or object it is going to lie down on.
The layout of the exhibition, created by Lombardini22, takes cues from neurosciences to optimize and enhance the visitor experience. The sculpture itself nods to another sun-inspired creation, the whimsical “Solar Do-Nothing” machine created by famed furniture maker Eames in 1957. Other floors came to life with homewares in zebra and leopard prints, and vibrant, multicolored stylings that reference Sicilian folk heritage. In the bright, four-story interior courtyard of Loro Piana’s global HQ, the brand dressed classic furniture pieces from the repertoire of Italian architect and designer Cini Boeri in luxuriant Loro Piana Interiors fabrics. Each was upholstered in Loro Piana material, from their silk and cashmere blend Cashfur to Tiepolo wool. At the 2024 edition of Milan Design Week, Lasvit (find more here) presents its Re/Creation exhibition at Palazzo Isimbardi in the Porta Venezia District.
The sculptures feature hand-made reliefs and serve as a glass canvas suitable for structural elements in architecture. Lighting brand ANDLight’s new collection features at Alcova’s Offcut Bar during Milan design week, including three new lighting designs. In the courtyard of Palazzo Litta at 5Vie District, Japanese design studio we+ plants their vibrant and color-layered, site-specific outdoor installation, Straordinaria. Just like its name suggests, marveling at the flimsy fabric swinging along with the winds, held together by the weight of circular plastic-like material underneath each strand, becomes the first reaction.
Milan design week is the world's most important design event, anchored by the Salone del Mobile furniture fair and featuring shows and events in hundreds of venues across the city's design districts. The outdoor installation is joined by its sibling, designed by Lasvit’s Art Director Maxim Velcovsky who hopes to spotlight the relationship between glass and architecture. Entitled Porta, the monumental piece underlines Lasvit’s artisanal glass facades, showing visitors the various facets of fused glass. Crafted in Europe’s largest glass kiln, this installation peers through how the brand adapts to the size and variability of glass, all the while meeting the demands of architectural projects. In the pantheon of glass- and crystal-making, the rope—a long and hollow element crafted from hot twisting and stretching molten lava—is one of the most technical to achieve. Used widely as a connector, or a “branch,” in chandeliers, it is also one of its most unsung, as designers would rather draw attention to the dainty decorations that hang off it.
Here you will find independent fashion studios and shops, ex-industrial spaces transformed into ateliers, showrooms, creative workshops. During Milano Design Week 2022, you will be able to preview the spaces and learn more about the project. Several cultural initiatives are proposed, including an exhibition on architect Ricardo Bofill curated by Apartamento Magazine. The guide is updated weekly and includes virtual events, conferences, trade fairs, major exhibitions and design weeks, as well as up-to-date information about what events have been cancelled or postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Extraordinarily, it was the first time that any of the chosen makers had worked with light, which led to remarkably unique and original products. It is these plates that creative director Anthony Vaccarello curated and had reissued from the original 1’957 Villa Planchart Segnaposto’ collection by the ceramic experts for Saint Laurent’s celebration of Milan Design Week.
Inspired by the intricate patterns of the equestrian world, from dinner plates to bowls, the designs featured imprints of intertwined cotton and leather threads. This collection served as both a tribute to the artisan’s skill and a nod to the enduring connection between horse, rider, and the craftsmanship that binds them together. ‘Each new collection is a way to tell a new story, to make reference to our heritage,’ Benoit Pierre Emery, creative director of La Table Hermès, tells designboom. Alessandro Enriquez presents a new home and interior design collection in collaboration with Bassetti inside the brand’s concept store in Corso Venezia 6, Milan.
