At the ARAN Cucine Milan Flagship Store in Porta Nuova, during Fuorisalone 2026, designer Ulisse Narcisi showed a restyled version of Volare—one of the brand's most established kitchen designs and a model that has been part of the ARAN Cucine portfolio for a considerable number of years. The preview was part of Milano Design Week 2026, and for a kitchen that has gone through several evolutions already, this particular rethink feels like the most considered one yet. Narcisi, w

Falmec has introduced updated versions of its Virgola under-cabinet cooker hood, presenting the Virgola Touch Comfort and Virgola No-Drop Comfort models. The new versions focus on acoustic performance and vapour management while retaining the compact integrated format designed for concealed kitchen installation. The Virgola Comfort models incorporate a soundproof chamber within the hood structure. This chamber is lined with noise-absorbing material positioned around the motor

Wall/Pepper® has presented a preview of its upcoming 2026 catalogue at Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026, introducing a series of new graphic surface designs developed as part of its continuous wallcovering programme. The new graphics expand the company’s visual library and explore different compositional and environmental references applied to architectural surfaces. The new designs are organised as individual visual environments, each defined by a distinct graphic approach. Bor

Abimis has developed a new copper-infused finish for its stainless steel kitchens, presented as part of its preview for EuroCucina 2026 at Salone del Mobile.Milano. The finish expands the company’s existing surface treatments and introduces a different material expression within its stainless steel kitchen systems. The finish is produced using a galvanic metal deposition process applied to stainless steel. This treatment alters the external surface by depositing a metallic la

et al. will present the Nuy chair, designed by Marco Acerbis, as part of its preview for Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026. The chair expands the company’s seating collection and reflects its continued focus on wood construction, structural visibility, and hospitality-oriented furniture design. The defining feature of the Nuy chair is its ash wood frame, developed around an inverted “Y” configuration. This structural element forms the central support system of the chair and distr

knIndustrie has introduced a series of new trays and expanded existing lines, continuing its exploration of table objects positioned between utility and interior presence. The additions include new designs by Lara Caffi and Sirine Graiaa, along with updates to existing collections developed with designers and artists including Rodolfo Dordoni and Ivan Tresoldi. The Outline tray, designed by Lara Caffi, is produced in matte-lacquered beech wood. The form follows a rectangular

Turri has included the B.E.L.T. seating collection, designed by Matteo Nunziati, in its presentation for Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026. The design takes a structural reference from the woven leather belt, using this element as a consistent detail across the system. The defining feature of the collection is a woven leather belt that wraps around the sofa’s armrests. The belt contains the volume and is finished with a buckle personalised with Turri’s “T” monogram. The seating i

Lodge is an outdoor lounge collection designed by Christophe Pillet for Ethimo. The project is conceived as a coordinated system of furnishings for outdoor relaxation and social use, with an emphasis on comfort, modularity, and material durability. The collection includes a sofa system with modular configurations, an armchair, a daybed, a pouf, and a coffee table. The coffee table is offered with tops in marble, lava stone, or aluminium with a matte finish. These components a

Set within the historic landscape of Volta Mantovana, overlooking the Mincio Valley, Palazzetto Acqualunga is a private country residence shaped by a contemporary rustic language. The architecture leans heavily on wood as its defining material, used extensively across floors, beams, doors, and structural elements. The result is an interior that feels grounded and tactile, balancing rural character with a controlled, contemporary restraint. Within this context, lighting plays

In a quiet square in Venice’s Castello sestiere, far removed from the city’s tourist circuits, Abimis presents a bespoke kitchen project that brings together memory, material, and contemporary design thinking. Set on the top floor of an 18th-century building overlooking Venice’s rooftops and the dome of the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo, the project places the Ego kitchen at the centre of a private residence shaped by personal taste and cultural sensibility. Crafted ent

Carpet Edition’s Bamboo Design and Bamboo Shaded collections explore how memory, movement, and material come together through surface and texture. Designed by Emanuela Garbin and Michela Boglietti, the rugs draw from landscapes encountered through travel and everyday journeys, translating fleeting impressions into tactile, long-lasting objects. From sunlit wheat fields and scorched earth to dense vegetation and quiet snowy terrains, each rug carries a visual memory shaped thr

There was a time when ceramic in furniture was treated cautiously, almost politely. Durable, yes. Practical, certainly. But rarely central to the design conversation. For Cattelan Italia , that perception began to shift more than a decade ago, during a period when the brand was actively questioning how materials could do more than simply finish a surface. The decision to work with ceramic at the scale of large tabletops was not a cosmetic one. It changed how the furniture beh

Chrome has returned to the Cattelan Italia catalogue. Once closely associated with the 1980s, it now appears in a more controlled, contemporary form, aligned with interiors that move easily between memory and modern production. The emphasis is no longer on shine but on precision, on how the surface responds to light and how it defines structure rather than decoration. That approach is clear in Eva. The chair reads as minimal, but only initially. Its proportions are carefully

Poltrona Frau’s 2025 “The Five Seasons” collection brings several new pieces into its catalogue, but the one drawing the most attention is Blisscape , a sofa designed by Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba . It takes the brand’s longstanding interest in comfort and craftsmanship and gives it a language that feels unmistakably contemporary. The name comes from a blend of bliss and escape —a small cue to the mood the designers wanted to create. They reference the easy, unhur

Turri has always treated the home as a place where design and personality overlap, and its newest interpretation of living unfolds through two collections that speak to each other without losing their individual character. Bow, designed by Studio Milo under the creative direction of Arianna Crosetta, and Atelier, created by Matteo Nunziati, come together as parallel versions of Turri’s modern luxury—distinct in expression, yet aligned in language. What ties the two collection

For almost a century, Turri has defined Italian luxury through craftsmanship, precision, and timeless design. Founded in 1925 in the heart of Brianza, the brand continues to evolve while preserving the artistry that shaped its legacy. In an exclusive interview with Design Diary International, Andrea Turri, CEO of the company , speaks about Turri’s journey from its artisanal origins to its modern expression of luxury, and how the brand continues to unite tradition with contem

For more than a century, Poltrona Frau has turned craftsmanship into a language of quiet precision. Its latest collaboration, with Six N. Five—the Barcelona-based studio led by Argentine digital artist Ezequiel Pini—extends that legacy into a new dimension: light as emotion, design as poetry. The partnership, revealed with The Five Seasons 2025 collection, is built around two sculptural lamps that explore how digital imagination can find tangible form. Moonbeam and Foliage ar
