Rooted in the future

Design is always a dialogue between what already exists and what is yet to come. Rooted in the Future embodies this idea: a vision of tomorrow that draws its strength from deep, solid foundations.

On the occasion of Milano Design Week 2026, the Magis showroom became the stage where this idea took shape through an installation that brought together past, present and future. Conceived as a landscape of vertical elements evoking architectural pillars, made of fabric in collaboration with Kvadrat, the installation hosts some of our most iconic objects, products that over time have defined the design language of Magis and that still represent its foundations today. This narrative takes on an even deeper meaning this year, as Magis celebrates its 50 anniversary. The icons are therefore not merely testimonies of the past, but living elements capable of supporting new visions.

Several new pieces also emerge, expressing a momentum towards the future while growing from a well-established design tradition. Like roots beneath the surface, the Magis legacy continues to nourish what comes next, allowing new forms and design objects to emerge, projects that look towards the future while remaining connected to their origin.

Rooted in the Future invites visitors to see design not as a fixed moment, but as a process in constant transformation: a fertile ground where memory and innovation intertwine, and where every new idea carries the strength of what came before.

ArchichefNight in Venice

On Tuesday, 3 February, we had the pleasure of taking part in ArchichefNight in Venice, a dinner event organised by Towant, dedicated to the dialogue between architecture, design and haute cuisine.

Five architecture studios stepped into the role of guest chefs, creating a unique experience that blended creative vision and culinary experimentation, all set within the informal and welcoming atmosphere of SirBaf restaurant.

The evening concluded with a lively exchange between designers and companies, followed by a final vote for the best dish of the night.

CHAIRS – Form, Function, Future @ Shenzhen Bay Culture Square

The exhibition “CHAIRS – Form, Function, Future” organised by Shenzhen Bay Culture Square in collaboration with the Design Museum London, is currently taking place in Shenzhen until 6 May 2026.

The exhibition explores the role of the chair and redefines it as a reflection of social and ideological change. Each piece on display captures a specific historical moment, and we are honoured to participate with Air-Chair, Chair_One, Spun and 360° Chair.

Chairs emerge as philosophical devices, micro-architectures of everyday life that reveal large-scale narratives of ecology, identity and digital futures. The invitation is to reconsider this familiar artefact: not as a passive object, but as an active participant in shaping our world.
