What to See at Milan Design Week

Milan Design Week extends far beyond Salone del Mobile.

Across the city, Fuorisalone activates historic buildings, industrial spaces, and temporary venues —
creating a distributed network of exhibitions that redefine how design is experienced.

This season, the focus moves toward material research, cultural narratives, and immersive environments.

Below, a selection of the most relevant exhibitions to visit.

Alcova — Baggio Military Hospital

Alcova continues to be one of the most influential platforms during Design Week.

Its new location within the Baggio Military Hospital introduces a raw and atmospheric setting,
where architecture plays a central role in shaping the experience.

L’Appartamento — Artemest, Palazzo Donizetti

One of the most refined exhibitions of the week.

Through curated interiors, it presents a layered vision of Italian craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Miu Miu Literary Club

A cultural platform combining fashion, literature, and conversation.

One of the most intellectually engaging formats of the week.

Lightful — Kwangho Lee for Bottega Veneta

A refined installation focused on weaving and material exploration.

The project reflects a broader shift toward tactile, process-driven design.

MoscaPartners — Palazzo Litta

A large-scale architectural intervention within a historic setting.

Visually impactful and highly immersive.

Fuorisalone is less about scale, and more about perspective.

Beyond individual exhibitions, districts like Brera, Isola, 5Vie, Tortona, and Porta Venezia remain essential —
each shaping a different side of Milan during Design Week.
