A curated preview of notable designs, installations, and events shaping Milan Design Week 2025

Every spring, Milan transforms into a sprawling stage where design dreams take form—and this year is no exception. Milan Design Week 2025 promises a heady mix of innovation, heritage, and material experimentation, with global design heavyweights unveiling thoughtful creations that speak to our evolving ways of living, working, and unwinding.

From Patricia Urquiola’s cocoon-like bed for Moroso to Rockwell Group’s immersive ode to cork, and from Cassina’s technicolour tribute to modernist icons to Moooi’s latest flights of fancy, the city’s streets, showrooms, and palazzi are once again brimming with inspiration. Here’s our edit of must-see showcases shaping the week.
