This issue delves into the interpretation of the future of living. Far from being a mere exercise in volumes and proportions, design reveals itself as a secret inlay of beauty, a delicate balance moved by a gaze capable of seeing beyond the tangible.
Amid bold visions and eloquent forms, the protagonists of Milan Design Week 2025 unveil the soul of their craft: a poetic journey into the minds of those who shape the future. What emerges with striking clarity is the profound awareness that contemporary design transcends the simple creation of objects to become the making of soulful landscapes and multisensory experiences. No longer limited to functionality or aesthetics for their own sake, the design of the future is rooted in meaning, emotion, and responsibility.
Milan Design Week 2025 has confirmed an unmistakable trend: the spaces and objects that surround us must be rich with stories, capable of awakening our senses and engaging with our innermost selves, in a harmony that transcends the visible. It is the art of weaving together past and future, imperfection and poetry, material and narrative, to build a world that is more authentic and meaningful.
With our Design Dispatch and Album, we present a special feature and a collection capturing the energy of the world’s most important design week. At the same time, in the OFARCH section, we reflect on the architecture of today and tomorrow: between visionary thinking and sustainable experimentation, the 19th International Architecture Exhibition 2025 and Expo Osaka offer us a glimpse into a world in constant transformation.
