Kvadrat
Kvadrat presents In Rainbows, an installation by Giulio Ridolfo that reimagines the Milan showroom as a soft shelter of evolving colour. At its centre is Twisted Flower, a new woollen upholstery textile uniting Giulio Ridolfo’s colour mastery with Frans Dijkmeijer’s weaving ingenuity, inspired by their shared love of botanicals.

Magniberg pop-up
Magniberg transforms Kvadrat’s Residential showroom into What Money Can Buy – a functioning living store where installation and retail exist as one. Visitors are invited to move through a domestic setting – bedroom, bath, and living space – where new and signature pieces from Magniberg and NM3 will be presented in use and available to purchase on site. For one week only, the space introduces a series of jointly developed everyday objects, new Magniberg bedding, a curated bedtime reading selection, and exclusive releases available exclusively during Salone.

Frans Dijkmeijer: The Silent Pioneer at Triennale Milano
Kvadrat celebrates the quiet brilliance of the late weaving visionary Frans Dijkmeijer with a special exhibition at Triennale Milano, presenting his textile archive to the public for the first time. From iterative textile compositions and yarns to handwritten notes and packages he sent to Kvadrat, the installation unfolds a practice defined by systematic exploration, technical mastery and artistic sensitivity. Curated by Marco Sammicheli.

DUX
The company celebrates 100 years 2026. At Milan Design Week 2026, DUX showcases a new hero product alongside its Sustainable Comfort bed collection and selected furniture, highlighting a legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, and long-term comfort.

CARL HANSEN & SØN

“BALANCED PRINCIPLES – VISIONS OF WEGNER”
Housed in a central Brera apartment, the exhibition ‘Balanced Principles – Visions of Wegner’ presents a curated universe of Hans J. Wegner novelties and classics, honouring his vision, legacy and lasting influence.

CARL HANSEN & SØN FLAGSHIP STORE
Visitors are invited to explore the Carl Hansen & Søn Flagship Store in Brera, where novelties for both indoor and
outdoor living will be presented. The exhibition features novelties by Hans J. Wegner, EOOS and Nanna & Jørgen Ditzel reflecting the brand’s commitment to preserving Danish design heritage while collaborating with leading international designers.

ORREFORS
The Black Hole Vase by Orrefors in collaboration with Claesson Koivisto Rune was exhibited at Expo 2025 in Osaka and later in Tokyo at DesignArt Tokyo during fall 2025. This collaboration bridges a century of Swedish innovation. In 1925, Orrefors achieved its international breakthrough at the Paris World Expo. One hundred years later, at Expo Osaka in Japan, the same values continue to resonate: innovation, functionality, craftsmanship, timeless aesthetics, and sustainable quality. Welcome to discover The Black Hole vase, arriving from Japan to Hoperaperta during Milan Design Week.
