Milan Design Week 2026 Highlights Furniture Reissues from Archival Designs
During Milan Design Week 2026, there was a notable increase in the reintroduction of furniture, as various brands explored their archives to bring back discontinued items. Last year, Saint Laurent set the pace by showcasing Charlotte Perriand's designs. This year, B&B Italia launched a limited-edition version of Luigi Caccia Dominioni's Catilina armchair from 1958, featuring exclusive cushions by Willem Cole and Haus Nuller. Ligne Roset focused on sustainability by reviving Michel Ducaroy's Marsala sofa from the 1970s in stained beech plywood. Other highlights included Cassina's outdoor adaptation of Gaetano Pesce's 1980 Dalila chair, Visionnaire's return of Vittorio Varo's Bachi armchair, and Poltrona Frau's commemorative Albero GFF 100 bookcase for Gianfranco Frattini's centenary in Santos rosewood.
