Interni will exhibit its projects in another city centre location other than Università Statale and Orto Botanico di Brera, a hub for major events overlooking the Fashion District: Portrait Milano.

This installation invites visitors to immerse themselves in a living ecosystem where every human gesture generates a visible reaction: a metaphor for how our actions produce responses from the surrounding environment.

It is composed of moving modules, a constellation of light bulbs, equipped with advanced technology. As visitors pass by, sensors activate a choreography inspired by the movement of grass, which will be reproduced on a monumental scale.

As if alive, each blade will respond to human presence by emitting sounds and vibrations that heighten the sensory experience, underlining the profound bond between man and the environment.

Each visitor will become an integral part of the system, transforming spontaneous actions into a universal language of connection.

Reflecting on the connection between water, man and the environment: with the Grohe installation in Garden Senato, the Grohe Aqua Gallery aims to show how design can shape our relationship with water and the impact on the world around us.

Taps are not merely functional objects and artistic expressions, but also a means to merge sustainability & innovation.

The visit continues inside the garden with the Aqua Atelier, a space dedicated to reflection and the expression of personal creativity where visitors have the opportunity to compose an Aqua Poem.

Opening hours:
April 8/9 from 10:00 to 19:00
April 10 from 10:00 to 16:00
April 11/12 from 10:00 to 21:00
April 13 from 10:00 to 18:00

The Porta Venezia district looks in awe at the results achieved by contemporary design and takes the opportunity to make a clean sweep of all foregone conclusions. In an era in which physical reality interacts intimately with digital reality, and art, technology and science increasingly want to cross-pollinate each other's universes, every answer seems already given. It is therefore time to ask ourselves a lot of new questions!

The PORTA VENEZIA DESIGN DISTRICT invitation for 2025 is No Boundaries Design. To Create, one must first question everything. Prima Assicurazioni is boldly in charge of dressing up the district, choosing the iconic twisty snake pattern by TOILETPAPER to wrap the spaces in which the Milano Design Week comes to life.

The creative epicentre is the MEET Digital Culture Center which, with its 1500 m2 of space dedicated to innovation and planning, is the first International Center for Digital Art and Culture in Italy.

Thanks to the support of HAIKI+, the conceptual works of the Quebecois visual artist Sabrina Ratté are displayed at MEET: in her Realia, nature has slowly but tenaciously incorporated technological relics of our era, giving life to post-anthropocentric scenarios in which visitors are invited to immerse themselves.

At Garage 21, installation host Google uses light to shape and alter spaces: if the image of a light bulb that lights up is already a metaphor for intuition, here the lighting, tempered by artist Lachlan Turczan’s techniques, tells the story of the gestation of ideas, transforming them from intangible to physical.

An enchantment also made possible by the use of Google’s new hardware products.

Glass brand WonderGlass presents the Poetica installation at the Istituto dei Ciechi in Milano in collaboration with Calico Wallpaper. The glass and paper, protagonists of the exhibition, appear ethereal and celebrate the art of craftsmanship with delicate works, capable of revealing ever-new facets in relation to their surrounding environment.

Optô by Vincent Van Duysen plays with the reflections and optical tricks of glass; glass elements dialogue with the enamelled ceramics of Officine Saffi Lab in Ronan Bouroullec's Architecture for Flowers.

Also dreamy is the site-specific installation conceived by Brazilian architect and designer Juliana Lima Vasconcellos to inhabit the perimeter of the Palazzo del Senato courtyard.

Source of Pleasure was commissioned by Lavazza to enhance the intense notes of coffee through all the senses. Vasconcellos' colossal work, 18 metres in diameter, recalls the tones of the beans; taste and smell are expected in the cup, for the other senses it will be a surprise.

In addition to the exhibitions, a program of workshops and public meetings completes the experience.

Combining the innovation of design and the tradition of the great European masters of art: this is what Doppia Firma aims to achieve, a project promoted by Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d’Arte, together with Living Corriere della Sera and with the patronage of Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship.

To celebrate ten years of Doppia Firma, eight iconic works from past editions have been handpicked, and seven new pieces have been commissioned to international designers who have worked with Italian artisans from the Alpine region.

The installation remains open to the public even in the evening hours, enriched by a LED lighting system designed to highlight its shapes.
