Milano Design
Week 2026

On the occasion of Milan Design Week 2026, Artemide presents the 2026 Collection at its flagship store on Via Monforte. The new collection, born of an ongoing path of research and sustainable innovation, interprets light in a contemporary way, giving shape to flexible solutions that engage with architecture and enhance spaces.

Artemide’s light will also take center stage at Fuorisalone through events, installations and collaborations that will give life to a widespread narrative across some of the city’s most significant locations, transforming them into dynamic and evocative settings.

ARTEMIDE & BIG

Milan Design Week also provides an opportunity to celebrate ten years of collaboration between Artemide and BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group: a shared journey of research and experimentation, in which light enters into dialogue with architecture, becoming an integral part of the design language. A relationship built over time through a common vision, translated into contemporary solutions capable of redefining the dialogue between light and space.

Artemide lights up Città delle Idee, the installation hosted at Solferino 28 and designed by Studio MCA – Mario Cucinella Architects for Corriere della Sera, Living and Abitare. Presented during Milan Design Week 2026, the project envisions a city that progressively dematerializes, making room for creativity, innovation and new visions of living. For the third consecutive year, Artemide’s light accompanies the narrative of these installations, defining their atmosphere and reinforcing the reflection on sustainability and new dynamics of urban living.

Created by Artemide based on a project by BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, Light Knot Progression takes shape in the East Loggia of the Cortile d’Onore at the University of Milan on the occasion of Fuorisalone 2026. A continuous line of light runs across eleven arches, unfolding into a progression of increasingly complex knots, giving form to a representation of the creative process: a path of light that intertwines ideas, people and disciplines.
