Milan Design Week - always worth the trip

At the beginning of April, we attended Milan Design Week 2025 in beautiful spring weather: two days packed with design highlights, unusual locations, nice meet-ups and a good shot of ‘dolce vita’. Only Milan can do that.

It's hard to put into words or pictures what you can discover during Milan Design Week. We spent four hours around Via Palermo in Brera alone, between the temporary showrooms of JUNG, Walter Knoll, Hermès and many other international brands. But a trip to the Milan hinterland is also worthwhile - e.g. to Varedo, to a ruined company and impressive palazzi that have been taken over by designers.

One of our highlights of Milan Design Week: the ‘Components of Space’ installation by Deltalight in the impressive Palazzo Litta. What a great atmosphere, all day and in the evening!

Also impressive on the inside: the Palazzo Litta.
