Day 3 at MDW 2025: The Design Dialogue Continues in Milan

 

As we find ourselves approaching the midway point into the 63rd edition of Milan Design Week, the world’s design capital feels like a living archive – each district layered with ideas, textures, and voices. On Day 3 of the world’s premium design event, we saw a shift — from statement pieces to quieter, more intentional work — and a deeper focus on storytelling.

We started off the day by visiting the Fama booth, where we saw their new fabric sofas, combining soft textures with soothing shades and new chic prints. While the sofas in different hues offer a soothing palette and plush seating that enriches any living space, Fama’s printed sofas inspiredfrom Javier Mariscal’s art offer a canvas of comfort where textile meets imagination in every stitch.

Next up, we visited the Koinor booth where we came across their collection of designs that help in unwinding effortlessly while wrapped in elegance. While their rocking armchairs bring motion and relaxation into perfect balance, their sofas unite sleek design with cutting-edge technology – a true celebration of artful silhouettes meeting expressive hues in harmony. 

We then visited the Natuzzi stall where we stumbled upon their new Mindful 365 sofas. These sofas implement their state-of-the-art triple motion mechanism and “365” seating system to nurture complete relaxation for the mind and body – while ensuring the perfect balance between breathing and heart rate for holistic wellness. We then moved on to the NicolettiHome installation where we experienced their new recliners featuring fully adjustable headrests – courtesy of a mechanism that supports both forward and backward motion. 

Sofas continued to steal the spotlight on Day 3, as we discovered a plethora of sofas that combine heritage with innovation. Modular muses in motion, shaped by softness and stillness – we saw NicolettiHome sofas featuring plush cushioning and adjustable backrests for complete relaxation, followed by pieces from Pianca and Calia Italia that were the definition of sleek silhouettes and thoughtful craftsmanship – thoroughly engineered for personalised comfort.

Next, we visited the Alf outfit where we came across their desks and dining tables – while their desks designed for focus support clarity without compromising on design, their lacquered tables strike a perfect balance between shine and structure. We capped off the day by visiting the Jaked x Connubia collaboration outfit – a lightweight and sustainable piece inspired by the fluidity of athletic movement, and which is perfect for any setting – from the living room to the gym.

As the third day of Milan Design Week 2025 came to a close, it was clear that the conversation around design is deepening. The focus has shifted from the purely visual to the conceptual — where craft, context, and cultural narrative take center stage.
