Maurizio Cattelan Hosts Dawn Barter Breakfast in Milan's Piazza Duomo for Design Week
On April 20, 2026, from 7 to 9 AM, Maurizio Cattelan will host a barter breakfast in Milan's Piazza Duomo, coinciding with the start of Milan Design Week. Attendees are required to bring an item for exchange, fostering a dynamic that explores the true, symbolic, or unexpected worth of objects. Organized by Cucù and supported by Lavazza, the event is promoted by Living Corriere and Museo del Novecento. Cattelan will collaborate once more with Nicolas Ballario, following a similar breakfast during Milan Art Week the previous year. Notable designers such as Stefano Seletti and Fabio Novembre will also attend.
