As Milan Design Week 2025 unfolds, a wave of new releases is beginning to take shape across the city and Salone del Mobile. While the full scale of launches is still to be revealed, these early product highlights offer a glimpse into the evolving vernacular of contemporary design.
Paola Lenti explores connection through ‘Ritrovarsi’
The annual Paola Lenti project for Milano Design Week 2025 is titled Ritrovarsi — a concept centred on reconnection through space, material and shared experience. The flagship store becomes a setting for rediscovering the meaning of design, with indoor and outdoor collections unfolding along a chromatic path that explores the relationship between architecture and nature. A series of historical re-editions are on display at Paola Lenti Milano and in the gardens of Àlfa. These include the Azul lounge chair by Lina Bo Bardi, the Half Moon cocktail table by Greta Magnusson Grossman, and the Légère sofa by Angelo Mangiarotti and Chiara Pampo. Presented as part of an ongoing focus on design history and reinterpretation, the re-editions bring past works into the present while retaining their original formal and material intent.
Nagi by Yabu Pushelberg for Salvatori
Salvatori reveals Nagi, a new natural stone texture by long-time collaborators Yabu Pushelberg. Shown ahead of the official opening of Milan Design Week, the tile explores the quiet rhythms of water through a series of concentric ripples carved into marble and limestone. The texture – aptly named after the Japanese word for the stillness of the sea – is available in Salvatori’s signature stones, which include Bianco Carrara, Verde Guatemala and Pietra d’Avola. Designed as a rectangular tile, it features a wave motif that compresses and expands across the surface, allowing for vertical or horizontal installation and varied visual rhythms. Nagi is the inaugural surface texture by Yabu Pushelberg for Salvatori, extending a creative partnership that includes the Anima and Punto bathroom collections and the lauded brand’s New York flagship.
Sedona by Patricia Urquiola
Patricia Urquiola presents Sedona, a bed conceived as a personal retreat within the domestic space. Referencing the red earth of the Arizona town after which it is named, Sedona is defined by soft geometry and an enveloping presence, positioning the bed as a “room within a room.” The design by revered Urquiola responds to the ritual of sleep and rest, encouraging distance from digital interference and reconnection with everyday acts of care — reading, conversation and pause. Its fabric, chosen by the designer, features a lilac base punctuated by orange and green, abstractly recalling the tones of the American landscape.
Magis presents new collections at Salone del Mobile 2025
Updates to existing collections at Magis include new finishes for Twain, Tacito, All-Round, In-Side, Substance and Piña. Together, these additions underline the revered brand’s commitment to enduring collaborations and experimentation across its product range. Notable additions include:
is the Motta chair by Jasper Morrison, built from a steel tubing frame with a new mounting system that allows the seat and backrest to be attached in various finishes. Morrison, whose collaboration with Magis began in 1993, returns with a design that prioritises clarity and adaptability.
Ronan Bouroullec expands his ongoing partnership with the Ancora collection — a range of tables and side tables that juxtapose the weight of concrete with refined geometries and sculptural presence.
BrogliatoTraverso presents Pied-à-terre, an extendable round table defined by a graphic central support that doubles as a ballast, pushing the typology of the round table into new territory.
Konstantin Grcic debuts Bishop, a chair made entirely of painted steel sheet with a high-gloss finish, while Paul Cocksedge introduces Squash, a set of mirrors that shift between two and three dimensions. Cocksedge also curates a related installation at the Magis showroom on Corso Garibaldi.
Glas Italia unveils designs by Philippe Starck and Tokujin Yoshioka
Glas Italia presents three new pieces that continue its exploration of glass as a structure and surface. Philippe Starck introduces the Crystal Table, a dining table that draws on the familiar lines of the previously released Crystal Stool. Both pieces highlight the purity of glass, balancing minimal form with precision craftsmanship. Starck, also, debuts Transformer, a series of vases created through a thermal deformation process. The result is a collection of one-off sculptural objects, each with a subtly altered and unique form. Additionally, Tokujin Yoshioka returns with i mirror, a floor mirror refined with fine grindings and defined by its restrained and discrete elegance. The design plays with reflection and light, furthering Glas Italia’s commitment to poetic experimentation with material and technique.
