Nina Magon's Milan Design Week 2026 Guide Highlights Brera, Fondazione Prada, and Nilufar Gallery

Interior designer Nina Magon, founder of Houston-based Nina Magon Studio, shares her curated Milan Design Week 2026 itinerary with Whitewall. Her guide emphasizes the Brera district for its intentional composition, where she visits Pinacoteca di Brera, Orto Botanico di Brera, and showrooms along Via Pontaccio and Via Palermo. Key venues include Fondazione Prada, where she admires the deliberate placement of works by Louise Bourgeois and Robert Gober in the Haunted House and the architectural dialogue between Rem Koolhaas and OMA's Torre and the gold leaf structure. At Nilufar Gallery, Magon appreciates Nina Yashar's environmental storytelling, especially the Nilufar Grand Hotel concept featuring bedrooms by David/Nicolas, Filippo Carandini, and Allegra Hicks. She frequents Triennale di Milano for its temporary exhibitions focusing on material innovation and human experience. Magon's secret spots include private palazzos in 5VIE and early morning visits to Triennale's courtyard. Her dining recommendation is Enrico Bartolini al Mudec, the city's only three-Michelin-star restaurant located inside Museo delle Culture (MUDEC), praising its disciplined approach. Her 24-hour itinerary spans Brera, Tortona (including Armani Silos and BASE Milano), and 5VIE, concluding with a walk through Brera at night.
