DESIGN AWAKENS
Design Week 2026
For Milano Design Week 2026, Istituto Marangoni presents Design Awakens, an activation exploring a new phase in contemporary design where objects, spaces and digital systems evolve into responsive, interconnected environments shaped by the convergence of technology, human experience and nature.
At the core of this initiative, Istituto Marangoni Milano Design investigates a new phase in contemporary design, where products, spaces and digital platforms integrate into adaptive and connected systems. Developed as a structured programme of installations, exhibitions and collaborations with leading industry partners, such as Alessi, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini and Trussardi Home, the initiative reflects the school’s commitment to research and experimentation across technology, human experience and nature.
