At the Forefront of Design

Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026 will showcase modular, sculptural, and contemporary design that will transform interiors with personality and balance

Talenti home

Soft volume meets compositional freedom in Paco, a modular sofa system designed by Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba. Defined by fluid lines and balanced proportions, the design embraces comfort as a spatial element, with generous padding and a low, enveloping profile that feels both inviting and refined. Its modular nature allows seamless configurations, adapting effortlessly to different layouts while maintaining visual harmony. Soft yet structured forms create continuity, giving each arrangement a cohesive identity.

Carefully selected fabrics enhance tactility and depth, while precise detailing underscores craftsmanship. Paco emerges as a quiet, contemporary system flexible, elegant, and designed to evolve naturally within modern interiors.

KREOO

Kreoo, the Italian brand renowned for its innovative approach to marble and stone, present its latest creations designed by Luca Nichetto, Musina and Posso reinterpret the historic Venetian vera da pozzo the carved stone wells traditionally found throughout Venice. Translating this architectural archetype into contemporary design, the two countertop washbasins explore the relationship between geometry, material, and memory through the expressive qualities of marble.

Musina combines a circular inner basin with an octagonal outer structure carved from a single block of stone. Subtle protruding facets and softly contoured edges create a dynamic surface that highlights the natural veining of the marble. Posso echoes the octagonal theme with delicately concave faces and a refined base trim, giving the form a lighter, sculptural presence. Together, the pieces reinterpret a historic object through precise geometry and material depth, transforming tradition into a contemporary design language.

STEPEVI

STEPEVI presents A Softer World, a living textile installation by Swedish artist Alfhild Külper at its Via dell’Orso 9 showroom. Conceived as a forest of emotion, the work transforms leftover yarns from STEPEVI’s Caresse collection into a tactile, immersive environment. 

Designed with Carolina Nisivoccia, the installation celebrates upcycling, material mindfulness, and the interplay of light, tone, and texture. A Softer World is a contemplative space where craft, emotion, and design converge, creating a living dialogue between materials and human experience.

VISIONNAIRE 

Bloomington, designed by Mauro Lipparini, is a sculptural exploration of gesture and material. Its curving, calla-inspired silhouette asserts itself as a three-dimensional volume, defining space even before it welcomes the body.

 The polished outer shell reflects light, amplifying tension and curvature, while the trumpet-shaped base rises like a structural stem, lifting the seat into a suspended, chalice-like posture. Asymmetrical armrests and backrest introduce a deliberate dynamism, breaking conventional symmetry and engaging the surrounding environment. Every line is intentional, merging structure and elegance, while comfort remains inherent yet understated. BLOOMINGTON transforms seating into a spatial statement of presence and poise.

RASTELLI

Fabula by Rastelli reinterprets classical design through a contemporary lens, where balance meets modern expression. Warm washed oak, steel, and glass create open, luminous volumes, while matte Cava Noir Desir surfaces and titanium-finished handles add tactile depth. Geometric precision and seamless appliance integration ensure clarity and harmony. Fabula transforms the kitchen into a space of calm, presence, and daily balance.

LODES

Designed by Vittorio Venezia and Carolina Martinelli for Lodes, Axia reinterprets the chandelier through a contemporary lens, exploring the delicate balance between light, form and technology. Structured around a slender central axis, the suspension lamp integrates electrical conduction directly within its body, eliminating visible cables and allowing the form to remain visually pure. From this tapered core, arms extend outward in a rhythmic composition, creating a sense of equilibrium and lightness while distributing soft, diffused illumination.

The design transforms a technical system into a decorative gesture, where function and structure become integral to the lamp’s visual language. Finished in metallic surfaces such as Glossy Bronze or Black Chrome, Axia highlights the reflective qualities of metal while maintaining a refined architectural presence. The result is a lighting object where engineering and minimal form converge to create a luminous, sculptural statement.

DIVIANA

Defined by clarity of form and a strong graphic rhythm, the Sunset Collection by Marco Corti translates indoor sensibilities into an outdoor setting. Generous proportions and clean lines create a relaxed yet structured presence. Striped fabrics introduce a bold visual identity, adding movement and contrast while anchoring each piece. The interplay of soft upholstery and a precise metal frame balances comfort with stability.

Powder-coated finishes and high-performance textiles enhance durability without compromising refinement. The result is a cohesive, contemporary system where graphic expression and minimal design shape a distinctive outdoor language.

Ideagroup

Ideagroup opens Spazio Milano to reveal Architectural Forms. Human Spaces, a showcase of design where geometry meets human experience. The Cubik collection by Riccardo Gava exemplifies this vision: minimalist 45-degree edges, handle-less fronts, and modular innovations create a seamless visual rhythm.

 New finishes from natural woods to marble-effect laminates and versatile coloured glass expand creative possibilities, while refined proportions respond to everyday living. Every detail, from texture to alignment, emphasizes the dialogue between architectural form and personal comfort. Cubik transforms bathroom furniture into a carefully composed space where elegance, material richness, and functional clarity coexist in harmony.
