  Milan Design Week is only partly about products. The better presentations use furniture, lighting, kitchens and bathrooms as a way into something larger: a mood, a spatial idea, a sharper point of view about how design might be lived with. So far this year, the strongest projects have been the ones with a clear internal logic. Some are overtly theatrical, others almost withholding. A few are simply very well staged.

• Dale O’Brien on sitting easy with Herman Miller’s Verus Chair

  22-04-2026 07:50 via indesignlive.com
  When Herman Miller first launched Verus in 2017, the intention wasn’t exactly to make a striking visual statement.

• Apartments on show during Milan Design Week

  22-04-2026 02:17 via indesignlive.com
  At Milan Design Week, the most memorable interiors are often the ones that feel momentarily inhabitable.
