Taking over an exquisite early 20th century Milanese mansion (once home to an Austrian prince), artisanal Italian design platform Artemest has returned for a second edition of L'Appartamento, a showcase that basks in the beauty and distinctive quality of Italian craft. The curatorial reins of each room have been handed over to a different interior design firm, each using Artemist’s diverse array of luxury Italian furniture, lighting and décor to dress the. Begin with the opulent entrance by Kuwait-based company Studio Meshary Alnassar and traverse a refined cocktail room by British studio Elicyon, Dubai-founded firm VSHD’s beautiful dining room, the grand living space by Texan studio Rottet Studio, Miami-based Tamara Feldman Design’s lavish bedroom, and finish in the lush courtyard created by New York firm GACHOT.
The Details 16 April, 10am-5pm & 17-21 April, 10am-7pm Residenza Vignale, Via Enrico Toti 2, Brera

The Kitchen Design Moods Setting the Tone and Trends for 2025
The T formation of this island by Davonport is so effective it’s a wonder why everyone doesn’t utilise it. Space efficient, providing plenty of worktop room, extra storage and seating in one, it’s a modern take on the classic kitchen footprint.
CUTTING A SHAPE
Walk through a pixelated wonderland with Preciosa Lighting’s illuminated extravaganza made from 400 finely handcrafted suspended crystal cube pendants. Inspired by retro gaming and the early digital universe, the mesmeric installation merges Bohemian crystal heritage and expertise with the very latest technology, the colour-changing cubes pulsing to the rhythm of an immersive 1980s-esque three-dimensional musical soundscape.
The Details 15-21 April & 15-20 April, 10am-7.30 & 21 April, 10am-5.30 Zona Tortona, Quattrocento in Opificio Via Tortona 31, Tortona

Nuance by Garcia Cumini is a new glass countertop debuted by Italian power-brand Cesar this year, a softly ombre effect that has the romantic beauty of a night sky as dusk settles in. Shown here on the curved Tangram island, it shows how dreamy a kitchen can be.

Italian design houses are where trends begin, and this edit of recent launches from the world’s best brands is what is informing all the key looks and references right now
Emerging Icons: The Italian Furniture Shaping How Designers Are Decorating Now
Always a highlight of the year, when Poliform launches a collection crowds clamour to get in as if at a Taylor Swift concert. Really. Its because this brand is where high design meets highly liveable aesthetics. And the luxuriously thick countertop of its new Artex Pro kitchen appears to float on its tapered edges, a feat of clever ergonomics.
On The Edge
The curved island remains a contemporary phenomenon, but British brand Roundhouse has moved the style on with this arched blocking of handleless cabinets instead. Evoking the fullness of a ship’s hull and softening the floorplan of this functional space, it's an innovative approach to kitchen design.
ROUND AND ABOUT
Asymmetry becomes the hero of this Jeometrica kitchen, newly launched by Scavolini. A way to connect seating to the main working portion of the fixtures, it helps to blend an area where friends and family can cook, socialise or do both at the same time.

s the designer Irene Gunter noted earlier in this issue, as a whole we're moving away from open plan spaces. They just don't give us the intimacy we crave, nor the flexibility to zone areas and create privacy or quiet as and when we need them. So the latest kitchen designs are eschewing the sprawling and architectural approaches formerly in favor, instead looking for floorplans, footprints, colors and innovations that work in more enclosed spaces. As this edit of the very best shows, we're now looking at spaces that are welcoming, decorative and maximize every square inch.
