The Best of Milan Design Week 2026, According to AD Editors

"An early stop for me was the Interni Venosta installation in a private apartment in Palazzo Olivazzi, designed around 1947 by Italian architect Osvaldo Borsani. Dimore gave it a 'light touch,' installing a handful of their own rectilinear sofas, lacquered wood tables, and polished steel vases among the pieces Borsani designed for the space."

"I always stress about jet lag until I land in Milan—that's when the adrenaline kicks in. There's nothing quite like the city during Salone week! A Barry's Bootcamp session is how to start the day off right—and with work, technically, since I saw so many design publicists in my class."

Milan Design Week 2026 featured a variety of exciting venues and product launches. Attendees shared their experiences of combating jet lag with coffee and workouts. The event emphasized the importance of early hotel check-ins to maximize the day. A standout installation was Dimorestudio's project at Palazzo Olivazzi, showcasing a blend of contemporary design with historical elements. The installation included rectilinear sofas and lacquered wood tables, harmonizing with original pieces designed by Osvaldo Borsani, reflecting a thoughtful integration of modern and classic design aesthetics.
