Things to Covet

Here are the latest releases that we spotted at Milan Design Week

1. Orson outdoor chair by Roda x Missoni 

As part of the Roda x Missoni collaboration this year, the Orson seats with teak structure reinterpret the classic director’s chair in a contemporary key. Made of acrylic yarn with various jacquard weaves, the fabrics are rendered in five iconic Missoni patterns – Riva, Bamboo, Opera, Spiga and Duna – which meet the essential technical and performance characteristics of Roda outdoor fabrics.

2. RUBY Lounge chair by Castello Lagravinese Studio

Designed by Castello and Lagravinese, RUBY Lounge strikes a balance between formal precision and comfort. Its wooden structure, selected for its strength and durability, provides both solidity and aesthetic appeal. The essential lines of the legs blend harmoniously with the generous volumes of the seat, which is equipped with soft cushions upholstered with high-density polyurethane foam, designed to offer maximum support and relaxation. The Scandinavian inspiration is evident: the clean lines and the choice of natural materials, combined with a historical reference to the iconic armchairs of the 1970s, are explicitly expressed in the enveloping shape of the backrest, which extends seamlessly into the armrests. 

3. Slice by Marco Zito for Bross

The Bross quest for versatile and multifunctional furniture complements is completed with Slice, a 2025 newcomer designed by Marco Zito. It is a coffee table, a stool, a bedside table and an object to be flexibly used not only in living and bedtime environments but also in the shared spaces of hospitality or work facilities. At the heart of this collection is a module with a compact and slender volume, a thin extrudate with a curved short side and one cut diagonally, to be used individually or in a combination of several ‘pieces’ – ‘slices’ in fact: in versions with three, four or more elements, it defines a design with sinuous profiles, with a continuous change of perspective. The matrix is made entirely of cork, with an elegant thin pattern, and is available in natural, dark or matte and glossy lacquered shades. When replicated, it can produce a composition where parts can be selected with a single finish or a combination of different shades. The result is a continuously customisable design product, a playful and elegant object

4. Zurich chair by Gianfranco Ferré Home

With its perfect balance of defined geometries, soft lines and tailored details, the Zurich armchair embodies the essence of the Gianfranco Ferré Home 2025 collection. The reference to fashion codes is represented by thin leather bands that seal the seams, enhancing the purity of the forms, and by characteristic dark brown leather straps with details in a brushed bronze finish. The enveloping silver nubuck upholstery completes the sophisticated allure of the seat, with its discreet but not banal presence.

5. Bang by Adriano Rachele for SLAMP

Bang, designed by Adriano Rachele, features ten pentagonal arms of varying lengths extending from its centre, radiating light through the cuts in the diffuser. This vibrant geometry, born from meticulous attention to detail and natural study – which are hallmarks of the designer’s work – plays with shapes and shadows, evoking a sense of perpetual motion, whether used as a step light or wall fixture.

6. Opalia by Patricia Urquiola for GLAS Italia

Made by fusing scraps of glass with special additives to obtain irregular glass masses, rich in bubbles and with random undulating surfaces, the Opalia collection is available in extra-light or bronze-fused glass. In the high tables with legs in extra-light fused glass the top is in float acid-etched extra-light glass; with legs in bronze-fused glass the top is in acid-etched bronze glass. The legs, which are removable, are fixed to the top thanks to glued plates and anodised brushed aluminium joints, available in silver, pink, green or bronze.
