As Milan Design Week 2025 prepares to kick off, here are some of the most highly anticipated products set to launch in Italy.
SUPERMOON 01 (1)
April 1st, 2025
Inspired by Japan’s teru teru bōzu, a small traditional handmade doll hung outside the window to bring good weather, the ‘Bōzu’ collection of wall, table and single or multiple suspension lamps by Signorotto + Partners epitomises the encounter between oriental culture and Italian design, combining simple, elegant forms with studied, functional lighting technology.
The NEMESIS collection of bathroom furniture strives for that perfect balance between formal lightness, functionality and contemporary design. A project that combines craftsmanship and aesthetic value, it’s also a flexible and customisable composition, featuring a play of volumes that alternates solids and voids, hollowed-out corners and perpendicular surfaces.
Meanwhile, the OASI bathtub is designed by Mario Ferrarini to offer relaxation and wellbeing within a space tailored for comfort. Available in multiple configurations, OASI’s variations include rectangular, oval and corner versions, and is made of Cristalplant®, a velvety, soft-touch material.
During Milan’s Off-Salone, the ALCOVA Villa Bagatti Valsecchi will host debut pieces by two brands known for their fine craftmanship and high design. First, the ‘Green Cabinet’ and ‘Green Side Table’ by Kiki van Eijk to complement the previous “Green” pieces in EXTO catalogue. Second, the ‘Atrio’ mirrors, which have also the function of coin-shelves, designed by Giuseppe Arezzi for EXTO. There is also the ‘Mars’ rug and runner, a project which marks the entrance of Studio Fuksas into the NODUS catalogue.
The new Chroma collection by Serena Confalonieri will be on show at Corso Garibaldi 17, within the Camera Picta installation, also designed by the artist. This project celebrates textile surfaces through a dialogue between architecture, history, innovation and contemporary design, in collaboration with wallpaper brand Zambaiti Parati. Chroma features eight designs divided into four pattern families, each inspired by a different painting and decorative technique.
The Erica collection, designed by Antonio Citterio, expands with an exciting range of new offerings for 2025. Launched in 2017, the collection is enriched with new seating, tables, coffee tables, finishes and variants. Citterio explains further: “Within the newly extended Erica collection I tried to find all the solutions to the different typologies of use of outdoor furniture: from the terrace to the swimming pool, up to the garden, inside private residences, or hotels.”
The new MaterialForm collection, highlighting the debut of Fabio Calvi and Paolo Brambilla by reconfirming the collaboration with Gordon Guillaumier and Federica Biasi, is a sophisticated project that elegantly and measuredly explores the relationship between matter, form and perception. Volumes become softer and the atmosphere becomes eclectic, with upholstery, fabric, leather, metal and wood alongside reed, rattan, ceramic and recycled leather.
Treboli is the name of a new sofa designed by Jaime Hayon – a sofa for dreaming, as Arflex describes it. Inspiration for Treboli is drawn from nature, while it’s also linked to luck and prosperity in terms of its symbolism. Its shapes, inspired by nature organic geometry, invite people to discover new points of view, to explore imperfect beauty and to find harmony in the diversity.
The Supermoon seating system, designed by Giampiero Tagliaferri for Minotti’s latest collection, evolves with new curved elements that further enhance its multifaceted personality and versatility, offering a fresh blend of aesthetics and functionality. A series of more sinuous and enveloping modules, available with or without armrests, features a crescent shape with two different radii – 145 or 380 centimetres.

The Nevada armchair embodies a contemporary softness, structured and elegant, blending comfort and design. Inspired by the majesty of the desert from which it takes its name, Nevada evokes the sinuous shapes of the dunes and the power sculpted by the wild nature of the canyons. The design is enveloping, dominated by soft, undulating lines that blend harmoniously into the high, imposing backrest, while the quilting draws a pattern that recalls the irregularity of the desert dunes, emphasising the three-dimensionality of the seat.
Says Urquiola: “Sedona is named after the American town near the Grand Canyon, famed for its red earth. Its forms are both essential and assertive, empathetic and inclusive, reflecting a design philosophy that conceives the bed as a ‘room within a room.’ Its design invites us to cherish these moments. The fabric I chose for Sedona features a lilac base with bursts of orange and green, creating an abstract pattern reminiscent of the natural landscape surrounding the American town. Not only in a literal sense, but also as an idealised, personal vision of a place that exists solely in our desires.”
Ok this isn’t a product per se, but don’t forget our very own Milan 2025 event! Centring on a panel discussion and set within iGuzzini’s charming showroom in the historic Brera quarter of Milan, the event will be a focal point for the Antipodean design community in particular to gather and take stock of things halfway through the week.

Schneider Electric’s new range are making bulky outlets a thing of the past with the new UNICA X collection.
