Milan Design Week 2025: 8 Pieces We Wish We Could Have
The best in design

As per tradition, the biggest thinkers, innovators, and trailblazers of the furnishing and design world converged at the Fiera Milano Rho for the 2025 edition of Salone del Mobile, also known as Milan Design Week. Held from 8 to 13 April, the one-week prestigious furniture fair and cultural programme saw over 2,000 exhibitors and attracted more than 300,000 visitors this year.
From whimsical reinterpretations of the humble teapot to the striking use of chrome and metal, Salone del Mobile 2025 presented an array of stunning furniture and object designs that would be immediate statement pieces in any space. Ahead, we glean nine things presented at Milan Design Week we wish we could have in our homes right now.
Hermès
Departing from its previous craft-heavy installations, Hermès opted for a stripped-down, minimalist approach to showcase its colourful home collection. Helmed by the French maison’s artistic directors Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry, the collection focuses on exploring glass, light, and its varying transparencies.
Among the rugs and vases was this lacquered rectilinear glass side table by London-based designer Tomás Alonso. The piece is furnished with a round Japanese cedar top that moves on a hinge and an inner pad finished in embossed leather. Striking, functional, and ample storage space—yes, please!
Loro Piana
Quiet luxury meets with nostalgic 1970s and ‘80s interiors was the theme of Loro Piana’s showcase for the Salone. Mostly known for its opulent interior textiles, the luxury house took to furnishing its flagship store in Milan to look like a lived-in home full of vintage charm and contemporary elegance.
But it was the bedroom that caught our eye—specifically, the Varallo bed. With its round shape and ergonomic headboard design, it works as both a place for great snoozes and a lush conversation pit.
Louis Vuitton
This year, Louis Vuitton makes a new chapter in their iconic Objets Nomades series, offering a complete home collection that includes furniture, lighting, decoration, textiles, tableware, and games.
Among its neoclassical and contemporary pieces, we can’t help but eye the signature Cocoon hanging chair by the Campana brothers that features a more modern and chrome-like finish. Whether out on a veranda or in the corner of the living room, we would love to cosy up in this with a good book.
Moooi
For Milan Design Week 2025, Moooi transformed its debut flagship store into a world that encompasses the Dutch interior design company’s spirit of A Life Extraordinary.
A standout was the plush and modular Haybale Lounge Chair and Footstool. The silhouette is not anything new, but designer Nicholas Baker’s inspiration of stacked hay bales gives it a fun and playful twist. With quilted cushions, robust strapping, and custom upholstery, this is one chaise we won’t want to get up from.
Saint Laurent
This season for Salone, Saint Laurent designer Antohny Vaccarello dived deep into the archives of Charlotte Perriand and selected four of her designs to be reproduced as limited editions.
Made out of solid Brazilian rosewood, we love the Rio de Janeiro Bookcase for its large dimensions and careful construction. Open shelves of various sizes are perfect for displaying art and books, whilst the sliding doors made of woven cane are great for hiding clutter away and function as extra storage.
Loewe
Trust Loewe to do something wholly magical and memorable for Salone del Mobile. Last year, it was an exploration of lamps. This year, it’s all about the teapot. The Spanish luxury fashion house commissioned 25 internationally renowned artists to reimagine the quotidian vessel to some startling and surprising results.
It was difficult to pick one, but Japanese ceramic studio Suna Fujita, run by husband-and-wife pair Shohei Fujita and Chisato Yamano, had us at love at first sight. With their trademark motifs of animals and plants, their bird-like interpretation of the teapot will put a smile on our faces every time we make a hot cuppa!
Pouenat
At Salone del Mobile 2025, Maison Pouenat—French masters in iconic metalwork—unveiled its Cosmo collection in collaboration with Haddou & Dufourcq, featuring 11 furniture and lighting pieces. Drawing close to the brand’s DNA of metal metamorphosis, Cosmo sees sinuous lines of metal twisted and punctuated by spheres.
It’s hard to pick a favourite in the Cosmo collection, but if we had to, we would go for the satin-and-nickel-plated aluminium chandelier (a perfect blend of historical and futuristic elements) and the star-shaped mirrors that look like they came out of our personal Pinterest board.
