Milan Furniture Fair 2026

While cherry blossoms and bank holidays might be a highlight of spring for some, it means just one thing for the furniture world - time for Salone del Mobile, the Milan Furniture Fair. Each year the northern Italian city that’s synonymous with style is home to a week of events and exhibitions which showcase the very best of our industry.

Now in its 64th year, the fair attracted over 1900 exhibitors and more than 316,000 attendees this year. As always, there was a real diversity of design featured across the exhibitors’ installations, so we’ve picked a few highlights which we think will make an impact on hotel, restaurant, bar and workplace interiors over the coming months and years.

An installation by Milanese design studio 6AM seems to have caught the imagination of many - set in the vaults of the Piscina Romano, the exhibition focused on contemporary glass sculptures, from limited edition lamps and a new fi nish for furniture to the remarkable blown glass stools created for luxury fashion brand Bottega Veneta’s SS26 runway show. The gleaming glass cubes were crafted using cast-iron moulds and produced in jewel colours - reminiscent of the Soda coffee tables in our collection. Made from beautiful blown glass in amber, amethyst, blue or petrol green, it’s a playful and perfect piece.

And if you yearn for a bit of texture rather than the surfboard smooth surface of Soda, the Striche table delivers - made from molten Murano glass, its top requires four diff erent pours: one for the shape, one for the colour, one for the design and fi nally, one for the texture. The end result is stunning, light and bright and reminiscent of classic boiled sweets - a great addition to a contemporary hotel, bar, lounge or lobby.

Our installation at HIX 2025 celebrated transformation, the fusion of ideas and the value of the creative process, inspired by Bob Dylan and in particular the lyric “He not busy being born is busy dying”. We designed and created unfinished bespoke pieces of furniture which were deliberately unsettling, provocative, uncomfortable - glue oozing from the joints of a chair, brash neon paint on raw foam cut to create an angular chair. There were possibilities in each, with the opportunity to create something different and better.

Milan is always full of inspiration, unexpected collaborations and innovation, and some of the pieces exhibited this year really struck a chord with what had driven our HIX installation - such as the marbled furniture created by fashion house Issey Miyake. Each piece is made using byproducts of the label’s signature garment-pleating process.

Designer Faye Toogood created the Crease collection for Italian brand Meritalia® - an armchair and sofas inspired by the idea of ‘turned’ furniture - like clothing worn inside out. The visible seams, playful character and intentionally imperfect, sculptural form echoes our ‘unfi nished’ sofa for HIX, revealing the unseen structure below a polished piece.

One trend from last year continued as key themes in Milan this spring - curved shapes are here to stay, as seen in Dutch design brand Bert Plantagie’s collaboration with architecture studio Mecanoo, resulting in Macaron, a modular sofa system reminiscent of the French sweet treat.

Our collection includes several pieces which feature soft curves, cushioning and cocooning in comfort - from the distinctive drop-shaped armrests and generous seat of the Nebulona lounge chair to the soft shell of the Ripple Low Lounge and the plump cushioning of the Buffa armchair - a compact, sculptural piece, available in fixed or swivel versions.

Italian contemporary design brand Secolo collaborated with Danish design studio TABLEAU to create the installation ‘Soft Matters’ - bringing together a pared-back sculptural aesthetic with beautiful materials including lacquered wood, marble, bouclé and brass. The Trace Island sofa is the standout piece - designed to be used from all angles, its soft and endless curves create an inviting, organic feel.

Our Bean sofa has a similarly sinuous silhouette - this sleek and minimalist sofa is still supremely comfortable and perfect for a hotel lounge, lobby, bar or bedroom.
