Milan Design Week 2026 | Days 1 & 2 in Review

-
Image
  Milan has once again opened its doors to the global design community, and with it comes a week defined by imagination, experimentation, and cultural exchange. It is the early days of Milan Design Week 2026, and the city has wasted no time making its presence felt. The first two days have already offered a compelling glimpse into what lies ahead, from immersive installations to evolving material stories and new product launches. Marco is on the ground, covering it all, and here’s what we have seen so far. Immersive Installations and Artistic Expressions Milan Design Week has always extended well beyond furniture into the city’s broader cultural fabric, and this year is no different. A handful of installations have made the first two days genuinely memorable. The most talked-about spectacle near the Duomo has little to do with design, at least not directly. Outside Rinascente, two near four-metre red stiletto sculptures by artist and designer Stefano Seletti have been turning heads...

Milan Design Week 2026: The Trends, Materials and Ideas Shaping This Year's Fair

-
Image
  The season of inspiration is here. Every April, Milan transforms from a bustling metropolis into the world’s most significant design laboratory, and for those of us who shape spaces - architects, designers and manufacturers alike - it is the ultimate compass for the year ahead. The central theme, "Be the Project," shifts focus from design as a finished product to design as an ongoing, breathing process. Given how much the brief has changed in recent years - for homes, workplaces, and public spaces alike - that framing feels relevant. Here's what we expect to define the week. Material intelligence Materials are becoming more thoughtful, both in how they are sourced and how they are experienced. Expect to see a continued interest in natural finishes, but interpreted with greater refinement. Woods with visible grain, stone with subtle variation, and metals that carry a softer, brushed quality. Alongside this, innovation in composites and recycled materials is expected to m...

Milan Design Week 2026: What to Expect

-
Image
  Every April, Milan does something no other city quite manages to pull off. For one week, the global design community makes it the centre of what's new, next and worth knowing in design, and the result is something that has to be experienced to be believed.  This year, the 64th edition of Salone del Mobile runs from 21st to 26th April at Fiera Milano Rho, with over 1,000 exhibitors from 32 countries filling a completely sold-out 169,000 square metres of exhibition space. Simply Sofas will be there, bringing you all the highlights as they happen. Before that, here is a closer look at what this year is likely to reveal. Salone del Mobile This year, the focus is expected to be firmly on fluid living. Spaces are no longer defined by rigid functions. Living rooms blend into work zones, dining areas become social hubs, and outdoor spaces feel like natural extensions of the home. Expect furniture to follow this shift, with adaptable forms, softer silhouettes, and materials that bala...

Designed to Linger: Armchairs for Winter Evenings

-
Image
  When the day exhales and the sky turns blue-black early, winter creates its own rituals. A book left open, a lamp burning low, a chair that quietly waits for company. This is the season that gives armchairs their moment — not as supporting acts, but as the places where evenings stretch, thoughts wander, and comfort settles in for the long haul. Join us as we explore armchairs  crafted for unhurried evenings, quiet corners, and the simple luxury of lingering. Bonbon feels like winter in its most indulgent form — the kind that invites you to sink in, stay still, and forget the clock. Its soft, sculpted curves create a cocooning silhouette that mirrors the comfort of a blanket drawn closer on a quiet evening. The gentle swivel base adds a subtle sense of movement, like turning toward a window glowing with lamplight, while its plush cushioning makes every pause feel intentional. In a season that celebrates slowing down, Bonbon becomes less a chair and more a place to retreat. L...

Soft Landings: Sofa Beds for the Season of Staying In

-
Image
Winter has a way of quietly rearranging our priorities. Evenings stretch longer, guests linger a little more, and home becomes less of a place to pass through — and more a place to settle into. This is the season of staying in. And at the heart of it, sofa beds emerge not as solutions, but as thoughtful design statements — ready to receive whatever the season brings. Read on as we take you through sofa beds that invite you to lean back, slow down, and embrace the season. Daphne  arrives like a soft curve against a cold skyline. Designed by Daniele Della Porta, its sinuous, rounded silhouette feels designed for evenings that begin with tea and end beneath a throw. By day, it is an inviting retreat — a place to read, to pause, to unwind. By night, it reveals an ecological polyurethane foam mattress that welcomes sleep with quiet generosity. Available in a larger version that stretches luxuriously into space, Daphne feels less like a sofa that converts, and more like a room that gentl...
