With the luxury market expanding its borders, the main fashion
maisons made their presence felt at the
Salone del Mobile 2025 with collections for the home that
translate their aesthetic universes into furniture, objects, and artistic installations. This year's edition of the
Milan Design Week reinforces the trend that, more than just dressing a style, consumers want to inhabit it. The brands are betting on pieces of
high added value that connect fashion, design, and
lifestyle.
Louis Vuitton presents a complete collection for the home
After more than a decade with the Objets Nomades line, Louis Vuitton launches for the first time a
complete collection of furniture and objects for the home. Modular sofas, chairs, buffets, tables, and lamps are designed by such names as Patricia Urquiola, Cristian Mohaded, Patrick Jouin, and Atelier Biagetti. A highlight is the luxury versions of games: a foosball table with mermaids by the
Campana Studio and a
pinball in homage to Pharrell Williams. The collection also includes tabletop items with
Japanese and Mediterranean influences, as well as textiles inspired by Fortunato Depero and Charlotte Perriand. This innovation is celebrated with the
reopening of the flagship on Via Montenapoleone, which now features a cafe and restaurant run by Enrico Cerea.
Versace rescues classics with maximalist luxury
Even amid the creative transition with Donatella Versace's departure, the Italian
maison reaffirms its exuberant DNA with the exhibition "
The Versace Art of Living". The highlight is the
new version of the Harem chair, even more opulent, with a steel frame, thick satin cushions, and a highlighted golden Medusa. The brand proposes an
immersion into the Versace lifestyle, connecting fashion and furniture.
Saint Laurent pays tribute to Charlotte Perriand
Under the direction of Anthony Vaccarello, Saint Laurent presented four pieces of furniture conceived by
Charlotte Perriand between 1943 and 1967, now
produced for the first time at full scale. Among them are the Rio de Janeiro shelf, the Mille-Feuilles table, and the Indochina Guest Armchair. The custom pieces celebrate Perriand's legacy and the timeless style of the French
maison.
Hermès transforms design into a poetic experience
At La Pelota, Hermès presented a white and minimalist installation with four large suspended polyhedrons, serving as
sculptural displays for the Objects for the Home 2025 collection. Among the highlights are the colorful glass side tables by Tomas Alonso, with a rotating cedar box as a surface, cashmere throws by Amer Musa, and the hand-painted geometric porcelain collection by Nigel Peake. The proposal of the exhibition is a
invitation to introspection, where form and function meet.
Loro Piana and Dimore Studio create a sensory cinema
Loro Piana transformed an old cinema into an
immersive installation, with an atmosphere inspired by the movie 'The First Night of Tranquility' (1972). Velvet curtains, red carpets, and surreal scenes compose the experience, which includes an overflowing
cashmere bathtub and
broken dishes on the table. An emotional tribute to domestic memory.
Gucci explores the sculptural potential of bamboo
Curated by Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, Gucci presented, in partnership with the interdisciplinary studio 2050+, "Bamboo Encounters" in the cloisters of Chiostri di San Simpliciano. The installation brought together
seven international artists to
reinterpret bamboo, a classic material for the brand since 1947. The exhibition was conceived and curated by Laparelli himself. Among the highlights are kites from the Kite Club collective and a sculpture by Anton Alvarez.
Fendi Casa bets on aesthetic duality
At the Fendi Casa boutique in Piazza della Scala, British designer Lewis Kemmenoe presents an installation that
mixes materials and poetry. Involved in both creative conception and display, Kemmenoe created a scenario that refers to
tailoring and
artisan leatherwork, with pieces organized as if they were fragments of a visual narrative. The proposal pays tribute to the limitless creativity and
savoir-faire of the brand.
The interior of the store reveals a striking duality. On one side, facing Via Manzoni, metallic materials dominate, evoking a
sensual and sophisticated atmosphere. On the other, with a view of Via Verdi, natural textures, organic lines, and soft tones come to the fore, such as light woods and bamboo. Between the two environments, contrasts elegantly balance: sumptuous grays and blacks counter softer shapes and earthy palettes, in a dialogue between precision and lightness.
Loewe celebrates the tea ritual with 25 artistic teapots
Loewe returns to Milan Design Week with its ninth exhibition dedicated to craftsmanship, reaffirming the brand's commitment to handmade work — even after Jonathan Anderson's departure from creative direction. Entitled
Loewe Teapots, the exhibition showcases
25 interpretations of the classic teapot, created by international artists under Anderson's last curation for the Spanish
maison. The selection explores everything from traditional ceramics to unexpected proportions, with each piece celebrating
the intimacy and rituality involved in the simple act of serving tea.
Dior pays tribute to perfume and nature with sculptural vases
Dior Maison has expanded the "Ode To Nature" collection with three glass vases created by Sam Baron.
Inspired by the bottle of the Miss Dior perfume, the pieces evoke enchanted gardens and are handcrafted in limited editions. A tribute to nature and haute couture.
Issey Miyake combines fabric and light in sculptural lamps
At the
flagship in Milan, Issey Miyake presented "Type-XIII Atelier Oï", a collaboration with the studio Atelier Oï within the A-POC Able project. The installation features
two series of lamps made from a single metal wire and a piece of fabric. The "O Series" honors Ikebana with shapes that evoke floral arrangements in Steam Stretch, the material of the brand's clothing. The "A Series" refers to the 1997 runway show, with three cubes connected by knitted fabric.
Marimekko and Laila Gohar create a poetic installation
Marimekko brought to Teatro Litta the installation "All the Things We Do in Bed", in collaboration with Laila Gohar.
A giant bed with historical fabrics from the brand invited the audience to reflect on the rituals of the bedroom. The brand also launched a
capsule collection with bed linens, pajamas, and ceramics featuring Maija Isola stripes.
Armani Casa celebrates 25 years with the ‘Oriental Inks’ collection
To mark the 25th anniversary of Armani Casa, Giorgio Armani presented the brand's new collection during Milan Design Week 2025. After two editions welcoming visitors at the historic Palazzo Orsini, the designer chose to return to the
flagship on Corso Venezia, where he revealed the Oriental Inks line.
Developed in collaboration with De Gournay, the collection
reinterprets classic furniture pieces from the brand with silk embroidery, gold leaf applications, and scenes inspired by oriental iconography — such as bamboos, dragons, and tropical landscapes — elements associated with strength, flexibility, and resilience. One of the highlights is the Amedeo bed, whose embroidered canopy featuring monkeys
took more than 200 hours to complete.
Longchamp combines leather and design in collaboration with Pierre Renart
At the
flagship of Longchamp, French designer Pierre Renart presents two novel creations: the Wave bench and the Ruban chairs, which combine wood with the leather used by the
maison in its collections. The exhibition marks two important milestones: it is the first time Renart has combined the two materials in a piece — something he has long aspired to do — and also the
debut of Longchamp in selling furniture within one of its stores.
Renart, known for his sculptural shapes and for combining traditional woodworking techniques with contemporary technology, is one of the leading names in current French design. The partnership
reinforces Longchamp's history of supporting creative talents since 1948, with initiatives that include purchasing artworks for its boutiques and collaborations with innovative designers.
