TABLEAU x Secolo reveal
Danish studio TABLEAU teamed with Italian maker Secolo to present two new products plus a reimagined piece at Milan—Scandi minimalism meeting Italian craft (colourhive.com). The collaboration highlights 2026's cross‑discipline showrooms where small studios test material and form shifts in furniture lines (colourhive.com).
Secolo’s Milan preview names the new pieces: the Trace sofa by TABLEAU, a Plumea lounge chair credited to Secolo, and a TABLEAU reworking of Secolo’s Pingu side table. (archiproducts.com secolo.design ) The project is staged inside Secolo’s Milan showroom at Via Giuseppe Giacosa 35, with a prelude installation open by appointment from February 25 to March 6, 2026. (secolo.design ) Secolo describes the collaboration as the brand’s first presentation with an external studio, a partnership that expanded from product design into shared graphics and spatial staging under the theme of “reconnection.” (secolo.design visualatelier8.com ) TABLEAU’s Trace sofa is characterized in coverage as a generously proportioned, continuous-curved form that appears to “float,” while the Pingu take‑over introduces a floral motif said to be “drawn with closed eyes.” (archiproducts.com ) Julius Værnes Iversen is identified as the founder of TABLEAU and as an artist/designer with a background in floral design, a role that informed the studio’s graphic and material interventions for the project. (archiproducts.com ) Secolo lists the exhibition as part of its Milano Design Week activity—titled “SOFT MATTERS”—and notes a presence at Salone del Mobile 2026 (April 21–26) with Secolo at Hall 22, Stand B35. (secolo.design secolo.design ) Photographer Frank Stelitano’s images accompany several reports on the collaboration, which was covered by trade outlets including Colourhive, C41 Magazine and InteriorDaily during the Milan program.
