Fuorisalone’s bold return
Milan Design Week (Fuorisalone) this year doubled down on experimental modern interiors — organizers list over 120 exhibitors including Patricia Urquiola and Faye Toogood, with Alcova installations and district programming returning in force. Tortona Rocks ran the theme 'Design to Change Everything,' underscoring the event's push to blur art, design and lifestyle across showrooms and pop-ups.

Fuorisalone and the Salone del Mobile are scheduled to run April 20–26, 2026, aligning the citywide Fuorisalone programme with the trade‑fair calendar. (fuorisalone.it)) Alcova will stage projects in two previously sealed Milan sites: Franco Albini’s Villa Pestarini — the architect’s only Milan villa — which opens to the public for the first time, and the expansive former Baggio Military Hospital in the Primaticcio district.

(tortona.rocks)) Brera’s programme lists more than 200 installations and exhibitions across showrooms and historic buildings as part of the week’s concentrated district programming.
