Superstudio Village in Bovisa opens with Superstudio Design 2026, presenting SuperPlayground, a platform dedicated to emerging young talents and experimental design. This revitalized space hosts an international selection of 32 designers, chosen through an open call from over 200 applications coming from more than 30 countries.

IIn this open, inclusive context, charged with a sense of novelty, material research is expressed through hybrid surfaces and construction systems in Abele Malpiedi’s “Z Series: Hybrid Skin”; at the same time, cultural and identity dimensions take shape in Abreham’s Ethiopian-inspired transformable seat “Gabata” and in the contemporary rituals of “Ancestral” by Acmé.

The debut of debuts: a new venue, new projects, new creatives for an extraordinary carousel of ideas, visions, prototypes, and installations, all about fun and innovation.

This merry-go-round in search of something new unfolds through 33 small presentations of original, sometimes surprising, objects, selected from over 200 submissions by independent designers and startups from around the world. An entire pavilion is dedicated to graphic design and the poster contest on display. The immersive installation of hot air balloons transformed into soft, intimate architectural structures will astonish visitors.

SuperCity is the city where everything is allowed, as in the minimalist exhibition that pairs seductively simple objects with artistic photography. Or where furnishings become sculptures composed of semi-precious stones and refined bathrooms play with transparencies. Not to mention the panels in various materials that light up on command and the fairytale-inspired tableware by Alessi.

Caterina Roppo develops, with Incalmi, a material research that intertwines fabric, light and metal. 

Her project “galateo ancestrale” consists of a series of works born from fabrics later crystallized in copper, in which matter is fixed and transformed, giving life to suspended forms. 
A project that invites slowing down and listening, centered on breath as a primary gesture of awareness.

With “Il Tornitore Matto” (The Mad Turner), Alessi reinvents sheet turning, an ancient technique at the heart of household objects. 
​​​​​​​
Just as the Mad Hatter in the story Alice in Wonderland interprets the world in his own way, this project challenges industrial processes and technological limits, transforming artisanal skills into surprising contemporary objects, balancing creative freedom with technical rigor.
"Il Tornitore matto" is an experimental platform created by Alberto Alessi and Giulio Iacchetti that explores new forms of design between industry and craftsmanship. 
Alessi's imaginative landscape is thus enriched with a new chapter that meets all desires and trends.

Art and design meet in an increasingly fluid dialogue, where the boundaries between disciplines blur to create a light and subtle balance. And it is precisely on this balance that Art Boulevard by Living Divani is built, where the large silver sofa island designed by Piero Lissoni for Living Divani becomes central: it organizes the space, dividing it in two. On one side rise the imposing burnished steel totems by Flavio Lucchini, on the other the sculptures by Maria Cristina Carlini which, made of wood, corten steel and ceramic, express a continuous search for natural, environmentally conscious and aesthetically appealing materials. The works—both the totems and the sculptures—fit harmoniously into the space, coexisting like mysterious inhabitants in the imaginary city envisioned by art director Giulio Cappellini.

SuperCity is an exhibition format that breathes like an open city. Its elements coexist within the same large, free-flowing space, like a vast, traversable gallery. The SuperCity concept was conceived by art director Giulio Cappellini, our longtime art director brings his ever-innovative vision to the most original presentations.

As in this case, the immense 7,500-square-meter space of Superstudio Maxi serves as a grand plaza showcasing iconic Made in Italy objects and the artworks that surround them, immersing them in emptiness, a precious and increasingly rare element that allows thoughts to emerge. Five small exhibitions of furnishings and accessories tell stories of art, design, and elegance.

The marathon between the three Superstudio Design venues easily invites visitors to a moment of relaxation. 
Giulio Cappellini did not want to deprive his audience of this precious opportunity to reflect and admire while resting. 
Here, a magical sofa appears like a happy island nestled in an ocean of art and furnishings that dialogue with art. 
Living Divani thus participates in SuperCity's Art Boulevard with an extraordinary site-specific installation. 
An immense, six-meter-wide silver sofa invites participation from the center of the route.

From the refined fabrics of a famous Italian brand that adorns the most elegant homes, to the ceramic marble surfaces that characterize the kitchen of Paola Navone's bistro, to the chairs revisited with an ultra-contemporary design, here we discuss furnishings for the spaces of tomorrow. Not to mention a glimpse of the moon with a virtual journey to the planet recently rediscovered thanks to the new Artemis mission, which orbited around it, revealing its never-before-seen underside.

In the Atelier of the FLA Museum, the exhibition “Skyscrapers” transforms architecture into narrative and metaphor, bringing into dialogue two complementary visions: that of the resident artist Flavio Lucchini and that of the photographer Giangiacomo Rocco di Torrepadula, known as GG.

The starting point is the skyscraper, an absolute icon of modernity. But while Lucchini sees it as a symbol of humanity’s visionary power, GG turns it into an intimate reflection on freedom.
