Milano The School of Design

Starting in September 2026, Istituto Marangoni Milano Design will open the doors of its new campus at Via Verri 4, in the beating heart of Milan’s luxury district. More than 3,000 square metres dedicated to educating the next generation of designers, located in one of the world’s most iconic and influential neighbourhoods.

This is not simply a new campus. It is a new vision of design.

A place where education and industry, creativity and technology, experimentation and design culture come together to shape the languages of the future. A campus conceived to reflect the evolution of today’s creative industries while offering students privileged access to the international design ecosystem.

The New Hub for Contemporary Design

At the new Via Verri campus, design expands beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. Fashion, design, hospitality, retail, craftsmanship and emerging technologies come together in a space designed to foster cross-disciplinary exchange, collaboration and new perspectives.

At the heart of the building will be an interdisciplinary hub dedicated to exploring the future of luxury design, where heritage, artificial intelligence, emerging technologies and innovation converge to reimagine the future of living, objects, experiences and brands.

Here, students, mentors, companies and international professionals will collaborate on the development of prototypes, ideas and applications capable of addressing the challenges of a rapidly evolving world.

“The new Via Verri campus represents far more than a relocation; it is a strategic investment in the future of design education. Our goal is to provide students with an environment that reflects the transformations of today’s creative industries while fostering increasingly meaningful connections between education, research and the professional world.”

Barbara Toscano
School Director, Istituto Marangoni Milano Design

A Campus Designed to Create, Experiment and Innovate

Every space has been conceived to stimulate creative thinking and transform ideas into reality.

The new campus will feature:

• Laboratories dedicated to modelling and experimentation
• A Digital Lab equipped with 3D printers and advanced technologies
• Material research areas
• A professional Photo Studio for shoots, video production and content creation
• A library and study rooms for research and learning
• Social spaces and a café designed for the community
• A spectacular panoramic terrace overlooking the Milan skyline

More than a campus, it is an immersive environment where learning, research and innovation coexist every day.

A Global Community Led by Design Visionaries

Under the leadership of Barbara Toscano, Sergio Nava (Director of Education and Global Scientific Director of Design) and Giulio Cappellini (Art Director and Brand Ambassador), the School continues to explore the evolving landscape of contemporary design through programmes in Interior Design, Product Design, Visual Communication Design and Design Innovation.

The new campus will also serve as a meeting point for an international community of students from around the world, partner companies and leading figures from the creative industries involved in the 2026/27 Mentorship Programme.

Be Among the First to Experience the Future of Design

By enrolling for the 2026/27 Academic Year, you will be among the first students to experience the new Via Verri 4 campus and become part of a new generation of creatives shaping the world of tomorrow.

During the Open Day on 9 July, visitors will have the opportunity to preview the new campus, explore its laboratories, meet faculty members and alumni, and discover the educational approach that has made Istituto Marangoni Milano Design an international reference point for design education.

We look forward to welcoming you to the place where ideas, talent and innovation come together.
