In a previous article, I wrote about how we approached Milan Design Week differently this year by setting priorities and limiting ourselves to exhibitions we really didn’t want to miss. And as said, we will have missed quite a few, including most of the ones at Isola, where we spend almost a day every year. […]
Just like every year when I am in Milan, I also visited Masterly – The Dutch in Milano at Palazzo dei Giureconsulti. The eleventh edition brought together more than one hundred Dutch companies, designers, architects, artisans, and vocational schools for design and interior. As part of its eleventh edition, Masterly – The Dutch in Milano […]
During Milan Design Week 2026, I visited the H&M HOME installation at Palazzo Acerbi, where the first pieces from the collaboration with Kelly Wearstler were shown. A selection of furniture and objects was presented throughout the palazzo. It marks the first time H&M HOME introduced furniture as part of a designer collaboration, alongside a series […]
A few days ago I came back from Milan Design Week. Every year me and a group of friends stay in the same neighborhood, and I feel at home the moment leaving the airport. If you know me longer, you know that I have a personal connection with the country. Italian is my second language, […]
Just back from Milan I started posting some stories first… Our first stop is always Alcova and every year it is more than worth arriving a day early to attend the press day. Over the coming days I will continue posting on Instagram Stories and write a few articles highlighting different shows. As always it […]

After every exhibition or fair I visit, a few designers always really stick with me. These are the ones who caught my eye amidst the often enormous array of design pieces, handmade items, or ingenious furniture. I truly appreciate every designer with a passion for their work. Writing about everyone after a fair is impossible, […]
With only two weeks ahead to Milan Design Week and the actual Salone, I have been busy last week making some sort of a planning. No need to tell you it is a real puzzle as there is so much to see. One of the presentations I am really looking forward to is the debut […]
Last year during Antwerp Design week I discovered the work by Lefebvre | Lannaux and I was instantly impressed by their aesthetic design and use of materials. At Collectible 2026 in Brussels they presented two new collector pieces: COMO wall and COMO console, continuing their research into proportion, material origin, and the dialogue between architecture,craftsmanship, […]
When collaborating with Domotex, the world’s leading trade show for floor coverings, I was always intrigued by Moroccan craftsmanship. The huge stands filled with carpets, the busy vibe of designers showing one beautiful piece after another to potential buyers. Over the years, I have seen the most beautiful carpets from many designers. I was happy […]
Ashtrays historically belonged to interiors designed for lingering, low seating, deep sofas and long conversations. When receiving a message from House of Leon. I previously introduced them in this previous article: Discover House of Léon and the Milan Collection. Saying the Astray everyone apparently wanted is back in stock. I started wondering: is the ashtray […]
Dutch designer Niels Stoeltie founded his own studio in 2019. Initially, he explored the interaction between people and objects, but his focus soon shifted to tangible objects that can be touched, shaped, and experienced directly. He began with interactive light ornaments, then gradually concentrated on the essence of the design: the physical light object itself. Without […]
