Iris Ceramica Group's Milan Design Week 2026 exhibition redefines ceramics as narrative mediums
During Milan Design Week 2026, taking place from April 20-26, the Iris Ceramica Group will host a multifaceted exhibition at ICG Gallery, located at Via Santa Margherita 4, Milan, Italy. The showcase revolves around the theme 'The Humans Behind,' in line with Fuorisalone's 'Be the Project.' A key feature is Reloaded: Diesel Living with Iris Ceramica, marking a decade of partnership with Glenn Martens and introducing new offerings like Distressed Rug and Acid Majolica surfaces. The Group's Design Your Slabs technology enables extensive customization. Additionally, Sapienstone will present three new ceramic surfaces: Travessa, Breccia Rosa 4D, and Muschelkalk, all available in 320×160 cm slabs. The event also includes Quarto Fuoco®, a charity collaboration with Save the Children and chef Davide Oldani, along with a live podcast series focused on creativity.
