Milan. One week. So many details.

A fresh take on Vitruvius
At the heart of it all was an idea older than any Design Week, yet one that feels surprisingly relevant today: Vitruvius.
Firmitas. Utilitas. Venustas.
Stability, functionality and beauty were not merely cited in theory, but translated into concrete form. In precise building technology, well-thought-out bathroom solutions and atmospheric lighting concepts. Not side by side, but as a coherent architectural system.
Exchange rather than exhibition
What particularly characterised this week were the discussions.
Between the city and the showroom, between detail and the overall concept, it became clear just how much good planning thrives on dialogue. The space was deliberately minimalist and clearly structured. That was precisely where its strength lay
And Vitruv was present outside the showroom too. He was out and about in the city, between Brera, courtyards and installations, experiencing Milan at close quarters. A small figure as a great symbol of poise, detail and architectural curiosity.
Architecture, encounters, details. The gallery brings it all together.
