Does the suit make the man? Whether we like to admit it or not, what we wear says something about us long before we speak. We would like to share an extraordinary story. A moving book that shows how a suit can become a tool for confidence, dignity and new opportunities.
Blending fashion, photography and social commitment, "One Suit at a Time" tells a story of second chances. The photographic book by Enzo Dal Verme, art-directed by Pierpaolo Pitacco and published by Rodolfo Namias Editore, was born from an encounter with Suited & Booted, the London-based organization that helps more than 1,200 vulnerable men each year regain confidence and re-enter the workforce.
In recent years, Milan has seen a proliferation of courses, workshops, and workshops dedicated to manual activities, especially ceramics. This interest has brought back into vogue small tools that remind us of the uniqueness of artisan craftsmanship, where beauty lies in being unique. The discovery of "Motel a Miio" is a world and a way of being, not just a cup. This isn't just any trend, but a true cultural reaction. The more our lives become digital, the more we feel the need to reconnect with matter. The more identical objects are mass-produced, the more we are fascinated by the imperfect and handmade. The more immediate everything becomes, the more valuable what takes time. In this context, Motel a Miio, a German brand of artisanal ceramics with a Portuguese soul, will be presenting a pop-up at Superstudio Più on June 20th and 21st. Behind it all isn't just a business idea, but the story of a meeting destined to leave a lasting impression. During a trip to Portugal, Anna von Hellberg and Laura Castien discovered local artisanal ceramics and were fascinated. What for many would have remained a simple holiday memory transformed into a project brought into the homes of thousands of people. Since then, Motel a Miio has built its identity around what industrial production often tends to erase: differences. Shades of color, variations in shape, and small imperfections tell the story of places, sensations, and people. They are the details that make us fond of an object, that make it familiar, and that, almost without realizing it, transform it into part of our everyday life. June's temporary shop tells this story, with surprises, discoveries, opportunities, and fun. F.A.
From 06/20/2026 to 06/21/2026 - Motel a Miio, pop-up - Superstudio Più
Sometimes an exhibition is also an invitation to see a city with different eyes. This is the case of the retrospective dedicated to Arnaldo Pomodoro at the Gallerie d’Italia, which becomes the starting point for a small Milanese journey all the way to his fascinating Labyrinth in the Tortona District. Two places, one single narrative: that of an artist capable of transforming matter, space, and imagination.
There are exhibitions that tell the story of an artist, and others that make you want to follow their traces across the city. That is exactly what happened to me when I visited the Arnaldo Pomodoro exhibition at the Gallerie d’Italia in Piazza della Scala. The exhibition retraces his long career through sculptures, drawings, and archival materials, going beyond the most well-known image of his iconic bronze spheres.
Today’s creative world requires far more than technical skills. It demands the ability to navigate constantly evolving cultural scenarios, diverse languages and increasingly hybrid dynamics that connect design, communication, events, brand culture and contemporary experiences. It is from this awareness that Superstudio Academy was born: the educational module developed by Superstudio Group in collaboration with LUM University, designed to create a concrete dialogue between education, creativity and real-world projects, helping bridge the gap between academic studies and professional life that often leaves students unprepared.
More than a traditional academic programme, Superstudio Academy functions as an open platform for research, immersion and direct engagement with the industry.
A new company joins the Superstudio family: Metsä Board arrives at Superstudio Più, bringing to Milan its vision of sustainability and innovation linked to the world of forests and future materials.
Via Tortona confirms its position as one of Milan's most interesting locations, where design, research, and business naturally converge. Metsä Board, a Finnish company that has transformed the theme of sustainable packaging into a broader reflection on the relationship between industry, nature, and innovation, arrives at Superstudio Più.
Countless books dedicate images and words to Milan, almost as if to extract its soul and diversity. "Milano messa in opera," recently published by Silvana Editori, combines the paintings of Marina Previtali with the writings of Milanese cultural icons. These are testimonies of a city both ancient and contemporary, told with intense brushstrokes and moving quotes. Personal memories of happy places, starting with Brera, are found in the memoirs of many authors, journalists and professors, architects and artists, presidents and musicians, financiers and creatives. A Milan with many faces, resembling each of us.

Superstudio Più's Art-Roof, following the success of its urban art discussions during Milan Design Week 2026, is preparing to become one of the new hot spots for the summer season: a terrace suspended between skylines and creativity, ready to live beyond the Fuorisalone.
There's excitement at Superstudio Più. As always, perhaps more than ever. This time, the tireless venue on Via Tortona is aiming high, literally: it's looking up at its beautiful rooftop, a space suspended between earth and sky that, after its highly attended and successful debut during Milan Design Week 2026, is preparing to experience its first real summer season and become the city's new place to be.
Amid scenarios of nuclear war, unreachable drones, phantom weapons that could destroy the entire world, and while tyrants are urged not to let up, humanity continues its tortuous path, increasingly accompanied by AI. AI often proves to be more intelligent and creative than us. From science to fashion.
The great unknown that hovers over everything and that will shape our future, even in the smallest things, seems to be Artificial Intelligence. Its evolution is not counted in years, but in months, perhaps even days.
Humanoid robots interacting with the audience, artificial intelligences transformed into domestic objects, immersive installations capable of blending the real and the virtual: during Milan Design Week 2026, Superstudio Più became a gigantic laboratory dedicated to the future. Among interactive environments, phygital experiences, and digital scenographies, SuperNova brought together some of the most visionary projects of the entire Milan Design Week, confirming how technology and design are often inseparable languages.
Starting with Samsung Electronics, which with “Design is an Act of Love” showcased the most human side of technology. Inside the Samsung Design Open Lab, concepts, prototypes, and products narrated an idea of innovation that is increasingly emotional, everyday, and personal, where design becomes the bridge between people and technology.
For Superstudio Design, the experience of Milan Design Week 2026 truly comes to a close only in the aftermath of the other major international event, ICFF in New York, with which its partnership has now become firmly established and is set to be strengthened even further in 2027. The Milan-New York bridge that Superstudio set out to build through the partnership launched in 2023 now exists, connecting culture, education, business, and above all people and their ideas. The overall balance is highly positive. SuperNova in Tortona impressed audiences with its large-scale installations, international players, and renowned names from the worlds of design and architecture. SuperCity in Barona brought the poetry and elegance of an exhibition curated by Giulio Cappellini into the context of an event often marked by loud - if not overwhelming - tones, where, once the volume is lowered, little room is sometimes left for content. SuperPlayground in Bovisa looked forward by looking “backward,” reconnecting with the more intimate and perhaps most authentic spirit of the Fuorisalone: a platform originally created to offer lesser-known talents, yet rich in ideas and genuine creativity, an exceptional, and in some ways freer, stage. What remains is the tangible sense of having embarked on a virtuous path: a widespread project with many identities, designed to give voice to the different souls of Milan Design Week. A cultural platform for design and its community, between Milan, New York, and perhaps beyond. L.V.
