The best of Milan Design Week

Every April, for the past 6 years, we have been making an annual design pilgrimage to Milan for Salone Del Mobile, one of our favourite and most enriching weeks of the year. A great big bolt of joy.

Our collective heartache for Milan is huge and we want to take a moment to celebrate this incredible city with a selection of our best memories and most inspirational installations. This is a terrible blip that will pass and the passion of the design community will be bigger and brighter when we all meet again for the greatest design show on earth. For now, take heart and indulge in these gems that have given us so much.

To set the scene, what better home for design than Milan, with its yellow plaster work, marble floors, the incredible Duomo and the terrifyingly beautiful Fondazione Prada.

Fashion brand COS have become a major player on the Milan scene with incredible installations year after year by major design brands like Snarkitecture.

How better to end than on this epic punch of pink from Marc Ange (2017), that says it all. Sun and beauty. The design world will take a moment to recover, but grit and passion will win out in the end.
